Michelle Obama did nothing wrong! Barack subjugated himself to King Abdullah  email this discussion to a friend?

The press is all a-buzz at the protocol faux pas of first lady, Michelle Obama. But what did Mrs. Obama do wrong here? She touched the Queen of England... but the Queen touched her first. Why should any American Political dignitary in England act as if they are beneath the political dignitaries of other nations?

Mrs. Obama may have committed a breach of protocol, but I think it's high time! When Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi met with Syrian leaders, she covered her head. This showed them that she was beneath them. Nothing she could have said in that meeting spoke louder than this single subservient gesture.

Where Michelle Obama stood proud with the Queen of England, Barrack really messed up... and messed up badly. Upon being introduced to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, Barry bowed! No other person in the room bowed to the king... just Obama. Bowing to a king is not done by those equal to the king, it is done by subjects of the king. If Ol' Barry wants to be subject to a king, he shouldn't be a head of state.

To Mrs. Obama, I say, YOU GO GIRL!!!! To her husband Mr. Obama... SHAME! You discredited your name and your nation.

Is bowing a sign of subservience in Arab culture or a sign of respect? I honestly don't know how bowing is received there. In Japanese cultures both parties bow as a greeting and sign of respect, but not subservience.

As for the touching bit, if someone touches you, you have the right to touch them. That's like shaking your hand and scolding you for shaking their hand. I haven't looked at the details of that one though, so I don't know what actually happened.

Bowing in Arab culture is completely subserviant. In Asian cultures it's more like a handshake here, but both parties do it at the same time. Obama not only bowed, but he was the only one who did. Not even the people who introduced Obama to Abdullah bowed; nor did anyone else in the room.

He must feel subservient to the Arab king since he himself is arab and still can't prove he is even eligible to hold the highest office in the country that he is trying to destroy.


myLot reputation of 60/100. Taskr36 (6781)   ranked 284 out of 3,985 in politics  3 years ago

Ok, I have been researching greetings in the Arab world and found that the two forms of greeting are either a handshake or putting your hand on your heart. Bowing is clearly a subservient gesture in that culture and it is pathetic that the leader of our country treated him as a superior and not an equal. He's just giving them what they want now.

I may not be very smart about these things, but it seems treasonous to me.

Lol, who knows, maybe he is a subject to the king of Saudi Arabia... you know.. there is still the matter of that birth certificate;)

It's strange though. Neither had to bow or curtsy although the women (even First Ladies) often do it with the Queen of England. I think there it's more a respect issue to the old lady. And yes, there is a don't touch protocol. I saw them show it on CNN. Looks like they were getting ready to pose for a picture and the Queen tried to move Michelle Obama up (I have seen that before where she gestures people closer, never much touch though, but Michelle wasn't paying attention, lol). Then Michelle Obama put the arm around her upon which the Queen quickly took her hand down and then kindly stepped out of the embrace. She doesn't care though. I think she chalks it up to inexperience. You know, that younger generation just doesn't have any respect anymore.. what are those parents teaching them;)

Personally, I'm more concerned about what they decided at this meeting and what our share of the trillion will be that goes to the IMF (and what other concessions were made we don't even know about yet). The pictures they have been showing of them all posing for pictures and grinning (especially the one with Obama, the Italian and Russian leader). Looks more like a goofy party picture than serious business. It worked though. Markets are up.

How does Obama think he will be considered an equal of the other heads of state if he's subjugating himself to Abdullah? The G20 summit is a bunch of government leaders vying for their piece of the pie... if he goes in their ready to surrender to them, what good is he to us?


myLot reputation of 80/100. jonesy123 (3256)   ranked 271 out of 3,985 in politics  3 years ago

Oh, I agree, especially since they already have decided that he is rather weak based on the 'olive branches' he has been sending Iran. I was referring to the point that only subjects bow... well we don't know, he might be one;)

Although I'm still more concerned with the outcome of what now looks like was a big party;) Obama didn't get what he wanted, that everybody does the same as the US and spend their way out... That already shows that there is less respect for him. They are all nice to each other, but no, he didn't get what he wanted. And once the big smiles fade and the bills come... we'll see.

So, Michelle 0bama didn't bother showing proper respect to the queen of England but 0bama BOWED to the friggin Saudi king?

So far all I've seen out of that ghetto trash is complete disrespect for our allies and pandering to our enemies. They are traitors and 0bama needs to be impeached.

Possibly Obama sees the King as his mentor. He certainly does not see himself as a good American or a good ally to the folks that we have treaties with.

Does anyone think that maybe the two of them had no idea how to act when they went over seas. I would think that both would of been up to date on how to act when they met with the other leaders of the world. It appears that neither knows how to act or what to do. I think Obama lowering him self to bow to the king, he may of felt that this man was above him and I dont' like that. He is the leader of this country and should not have to bow to anyone they maybe king, but does that make them any better than our leader. Maybe both should of ask or read up on how to act when meeting another leader of a country. I dont' believe what the news is playing up the touching of the Queen, I do believe like one said she was trying to move her up into the line and if she liked the hug why did she step back, Mrs Obama has no idea how to act. She didn't need to go on this trip as far as I was concerned she has nothing to contribute except to mess up more.


myLot reputation of 63/100. ParaTed2k (6357)   ranked 325 out of 3,985 in politics  3 years ago

Maybe they needed a teleprompter to give them play by play instructions on how to act.

I do find it interesting though that Prs. Obama didn't bow do anyone else in that room. Nor did anyone bow down to Prs. Obama, and King Abdullah didn't see the need to return the bow.

Apparently there was only 1 person in that room who felt it was appropriate to bow, but only to 1 other person in the room. A person no one else was bowing to.

Hmmmmmmmmm

To me he is an embrassment to the United States, I wonder how they sit back and laugh after he is gone, the Demo congress's puppet. Everyone know that is what he is, and I am waiting till he gets to some of the other countries and they tell him to fo, if you know what I mean.
