It is wrong for Obama to bow before a Saudi.

But it is perfectly natural for Bush to kiss and to hold hands with him:









Naturally ....:lol:

You people never elected a black president before either, was that also a bad thing (well, I suppose it is, if one I s a conservative).

Since you are the one that expressed concern over encouraging immigration from certain areas of the world, I would suggest that this is a case of the pot and the kettle.

It's unfortunate that something so insignificant can become so ill percieved .

The question is not why something so insignificant can become so ill perceived but rather, was it insignificant. As of yet nobody has made clear Obama's intent.

Why does he have to?
To me it meant nothing other than a freindly gesture.
why should it be so complicated?

America has spent billions of dollars and many lives protecting the oil dynasties in the Gulf region, why not accept the true nature of the relationship?

He meant it as a cowering gesture by an infidel, and admittance of defeat in the war against terror. Nothing more, nothing less.

Here is what I said:

"The White House denies that President Obama bowed to the Saudi King.

Who should one believe?

Some video, probably produced by some Obama-hater far right extremist or the always truthful, objective, informative, no-spin, honest White House press releases?

Not to mention one's lying eyes!"

And here is how SirJosephPorter responded:

"Yukon Jack, a more appropriate question is, who cares? This is something cooked up by conservatives
to beat up Obama on the head with."

I wish that everyone who opposes my views were as transparently phoney.

BTW, we learned that it was NOT a bow, after all. The following explanations were given by that most erudite and coherent White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs (in the midst of uhm's and ahhh's):

1. The President was admiring the Kings shoes.

2. The President noticed a clump of camel dung on His Majesty's sandals and wanted to call attention to it.

3. The President just kissed His Majesty's most Royal hand.

4. The President just wanted a closer look at the cowboy belt buckle His Most Royal Majesty wore, given to Him by George W. Bush. (Could have been a DVD od an Ipod).

5. His Royal Majesty needed to ascertain that the President's ears were just as elephantine from the back as they are from the front.

Further White House releases will be available as they are issued.

Re #43.

DaSleeper, you must learn something on these posts:

If you ever display any sympathy, whatsoever towards those damn Yankees, you are a traitor to Canada. (Maybe some of the Super-Patriot Canadians who will - inevitably accuse you of treason - will tell you why it is not TRAITOUR).

I've been there. I'm glad some of the posters here are not the passport office.

Just remember: to be a Good Canadian you MUST BE an Anti-American.

Not my words or intentions. Theirs.

Anyone who thinks that the flying shoe incident is funny has the mentality of a Three Stooges fan.

And proves that old adage that "small things amuse small minds".
