That explanation was "absurd," the conservative Weekly Standard said. And the caption attached to the Getty Images photo said the president was bowing.
Oh the irony.

Seriously?!?! Maybe because he is PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and (obviously this title is up for debate and is outdated, etc... etc... but) THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD.
So, if Obama had diarrhea from his dinner, you'd be crazy over it???
Anyway, why is this sucha big deal???

Gotta love how this turned into bashing Christians.
Maybe if you can take off your Obama blinders, you would realize that he is the President of the USA. President's don't bow to other World Leaders. Ifyou can't understand that, USA is in some serious trouble with the new youth.

He was just showing respect visiting another country, if you think this is a sign of inferiority you're just a clown.

3 Months in an Republicans already are b-----ing and moaning about the most insignificant things. Bowing, gifts the the queen & the British PM, picking asports bracket and etc..... Its the total definition of a soar loser and ofcoure the public isn't buying into it because Obama's approval ratings arestill at 60 or above.

Because they'd figure people like you would over-react to the situation.
Point is you republicans nitpick everything the guy does on a day to bay basis, its not like he bowed to him here in the STATES, he did that overseas visitingtheir respective country and culture.
Its really is not that serious, same with that I-Pod bull %*#$.
I will stick to worrying about more important issues rather than his greeting.

If the Saudi Arabian King bowed to Obama the same when during the exchange there would be no problem. However, Obama bowed without the same exchange meaning heis a subordinate to the King.

I aint trying to pick a fight, but I still stand by my point that the When in Rome argument which you tried to use and now defend is still wrong. Thatphrase/idiom whatever you want to call it is commonly understood to mean When you are in a visiting land/country/whatever you should follow the local customsand act as the locals do. Therefore it does have to do with location, atleast in this example.
I mean I'm openminded. If this was in Saudi Arabia during a royal function at the palace or something, I might see where Obama might think that itwould be courteous and respectful to acknowlege his peer in that manner. But during a photo op in London at the G-20 summit with a buncha other world leaders? He slipped up for sure, and his administration is trying to do damage control.

If he would've just bowed his head it would've been ok, but... He leaned over. I don't have a problem with it, but I can see how it might upsetsome.

I don't see the big difference, it's just showing respect.

How stupid is this?
1st it was the TERRORIST Fist Bump
Then it was his connections to TERRORIST Ayers
Next it was about Obama not wearing a flag lapel pin
Now its about Obama bowing to a King Abdullah?
%%*%%@! hillarious.
If you want to bash Obama, bash him for requesting 200 billion to fund the wars in Iraq/Afghan
Bash him for giving stimulus money to failing banks.
Bash him because he failed to recognize the Armenian genocide when he had a chance to as he originally promised...
But to make a big deal because of how he greeted Abdullah?
Thanks for the Good Friday JOKE!
