YOURE DOING IT WRONG!
eh whatever. knit-picking at its finest.
What an idiot! He’s supposed to be holding his hands?!?! This is how you do it.
Holding someones hand as a non sexual gesture of is one thing. For an American President to BOW before another leader is insulting to America. The president is the highest member of our government and should conduct himself as such. That being said, He should not bow to anybody. It is against the code of conduct set forth by the presidents before him. But hey, he is all about “change” right?
Insulting? What is really insulting is the fact that we even have a relationship with a country like saudi arabia.
He is showing respect to the ruler of the country he is visiting. You really think this hurts America, give me a fucking break. How childish.
AND YES RESPECTING OTHER COUNTRIES IS THE CHANGE I VOTED FOR.
**Even if it is Saudi Arabia
Showing respect is fine. I am all for respect, as many people have no sense of respect. But the President should now lower his head to anyone. :picard:. never mind. You don’t get it. read up on your history a little more. In MANY countries, bowing like he did is a sign of weakness and submission. Also, the whole appologizing thing…yeah that also is seen in many cultures as a sign of weakness.
Oh, and holding hands like Bush is doing in the pic is a custom in some countries, it is a sign of respect and equality.
Jeg, :picard: . I cannot fathom how many times you were dropped on your head when you were a child.
I bow to my sparring partner, who bows to me, and then I proceed to kick the shit out of him.
It’s a fucking sign of respect you fucking douchebag. Seriously.
It’s not like he got his ass kicked and is bowing out.
Do you think Obama showed weakness? Are you kidding me? And apologizing doesn’t show weakness it shows humility, which is what we need to show after 8 years of Bush.
You are the one that doesn’t get it.
wow jeg that was srsly so stupid
srsly
SRSLY
If it’s not a major violation of protocol for a US president, why is the Obama administration trying to cover it up saying it wasn’t a bow? They’re claiming Obama is so much taller he had to bend down to shake both hands. :roll2:

And Howie, it’s considerably different bowing to your gay lover, I mean “sparring partner”, or what ever you guys call it now. You bow, he bows back, it’s a mutual respect thing and then you break out the astroglide.
Because he doesn’t feel like getting shot by some unruly southerner for “disrespecting the office” The south = a bunch of JEGs with guns.
He was on that guy’s turf, it’s a politeness thing. If he came here, we’d expect him to show equivalent respect.
I always thought that bowing to a king meant you were be submissive but, I am only going by thousands of years of history.
The important point here is that Obama is a liar even with cameras just like Hillary dodging bullets.
Holy shit.
really?
I say we move for impeachment. [/pinktext] (im lazy)
Haha, the comments in the thread are a prime example.
x2
Seriously is this how desperate the right is these days?
Not to be labeled a right winger but the left basically nitpicked over everything bush did for the last 8 years. Just sayin
bush did shit that was actually bad though.
