It is obvious that O'bama rex bowed to the Saudi King. The question is why? Was he bowing to a religious leader or to a superior King?

Would you rather he walked hand in hand with him ? Like Bush did ?
Or perhaps a smooch....

The reason ? For all the posturing of both these me, we have no intention of weaning ourselves off Saudi Oil.
Aren't there enough legitimate reasons to criticize him ?
MP's pic is not a fake, to my knowledge. But it could be. The Bush-Saudi King holding hands is not a fake.

Since he did not bow before Queen Elizabeth, one can only assume he knew full well what he was doing (despite the protests from the WH to the contrary after the bru-ha-ha and caught on video) and that Obama deliberately made this gesture. Kinda like an animal baring it's throat to the Alpha male. I see this as treason.
He did bow to the queen. As he shook her hand he bent at the waste which is the custom.
He curtsied to the queen also. It is just a sign of respect, acknowledging their position in the country. If we had a custom like this, the King would comply when he visited Obama in the US. I don't see what the big deal is.

You can read my take on Bush and the Saudi Royal Family connections on the other thread.
But when Obama bowed before the Saudi muslim king, he sent a powerful signal to the muslim world that we are in obeisance to them.

The Bush-Saudi King holding hands is not a fake. I saw it on TV. However I have known a couple of people from the Middle East. The like personal contact. Of course some will saw your head off.
Actually LeBuick, bowing to the king is much more than a sign of respect. It's a sign of subservience. I don't like unnecessary bashing of anyone, but in this case Obama did a stupid thing. Unless you are a person that is part of that country and are subservient to the king, you don't bow.
Both George Bush and his father George HW Bush had significant personal financial dealings with the Saudi royalty. This had nothing to do with our country and everything to do with Bush's private bank account.
