Why did President Obama bow to King Abdulla of Saudia Arabia? He damn near kneeled! I mean this wasn't just a knod of the head or even the slight bending at the waist (which would still have been puzzling) this was a full out booty-in-the-air bow. And Obama has a big booty and it just looked weird. I know the white people who voted for him are taken aback and the white folks who didn't are saying "i told you so."
I, too, am taken aback. It really looked like Obama was kissing King Abdullah's ass - really - it looked like Obama really, really, really wanted the King to know he liked him. Maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't have looked so weird if he had bowed to Queen Elizabeth, but he didn't. He did with QE what he shoulda done with KA, shook his hand. That would have good enough. But, a full bow? Why?
Especially why King Abdullah and no other potentate??? What the hell is WRONG with him? It's like he's worshiping at the altar. It's embarassing. I thank God that Obama didn't kiss the King's hand. Not ONE other man in the picture is bowing or making a fool himself, in fact all the men around him, including the King are probably wondering "why is he doing that?"
