Hey, you made this a issue not me, if what Obama did was bad then so is Bush holding hands with the leader of a nation who produced 9/11 terrorists.
Saudi customs...
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Kissing and Holding Hands[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Saudi men often greet each other with kisses, but Saudi men usually just shake hands with foreign men unless they are close friends.[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]The opposite sexes should never kiss in public.[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Men sometimes hold hands with each other in Saudi Arabia (although not with women in public). Holding hands with another man is a sign of friendship, with no sexual connotations.[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Foreign men may feel uncomfortable when another man grips their hand, but it would be insensitive to prematurely withdraw from the contact.[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]On the other hand, Western couples should avoid any physical contact with each other in public. You may see very modern-minded Saudi couples holding hands, but don't imitate them.[/FONT]
Struggle to respond now.
No struggle... it is simple...
Obama bow... good
Bush holding hands... bad
Pretty cut and dry there where you are coming from!

I never said that...where did I say that?
Are you saying that?
Interesting, I thought you'd be more a Bush fan....who knew.
Well...
A. You defended Obama...
B. You immediately show a picture of Bush holding hands with King Saud with the comment "Awww...isn't that cute" which I took as a knock against Bush. Unless you thought it really was cute.
Did you miss us Avro?
no numbnuts.... if Obama bowing is bad, then bushy holding hands is bad.
IMO both were proper.
as for Harper, I would very much expect him to bow, kneel, shake hands, or high five when it's the proper custom.
I defended Obama on the bow....yes.
I showed a picture of Bush to expose your hypocricy....yes.
Remember, you made this a issue, not anyone else....try defending your position, so far you have failed to do so, nothing more than partisan crap.
For the record, Obama so far has been a complete failure as president.
Struggle to respond now.
Nyet
I think holding hands with the King was JUST as silly.
You showed the picture WITH the comment to show that EVERYTHING that Obama does is AWESOME and that EVERYTHING that Bush did was BAAAAD.
Therefor exposing YOUR hypocricy.
The champion partisan calling another a partisan.
AGREED!
Too easy...as always.

In 2007 G W winked at the Queen causing quite a stir..
Proper etiquette should have been followed but obviously Ego took over..
By respecting others traditions one can only gain even more respect.
As everyone can see G W certainly did not gain the Queens respect that day..

I don't.
Not true, I showed the picture to expose your hypocicy and to show that leaders can respect others customs.
I never said what Bush did was good or bad.....you put thoses words in my mouth....again.
Try to get it straight....for once.
See below.....partisan eh? Good grief.:roll:
To easy to dodge you mean.
Since you fail to see how your point is nothing more than trolling I will move on.
Cheers.
You just thought it was cute?
O-Kaaaaay
but if I think that Bush holding hands was JUST as silly, then I wouldn't be a hypocrit. You just rushed to judgement.
yes, you have straightened it out...I thought you were be facetious but you indeed thought it was cute. My mistake.
See above!
Nyet...just not a struggle...at all.
Bon Voyage!
:roll: It was you that aksed how he snuck in...... since he is using his regular nick... you MUST feel that the admistration are idiots for allowing him to "sneak in", especially since he is NOT trying to hide at all.
Nah... I don't feel the Admin or Mods are idiots...although you keep trying to call them such in a roundabout way. I've always maintained that this is Andem's playground and we are here at his discretion and the discretion of the Mods. It is his decision who stays and goes and who gets back in.
I was merely asking him how he got back in while remembering the day he got bounced when he kept creating new accounts.
So in essence I was curiously amused to see him back.
I was just of the opinion that it was silly as well as Bush holding hands as the esteemed Avro in generously providing us with commentary.
Even though he failed in doing so.
I know why he does it.
Some sort fo revenge for putting up with Bush bashing, I guess Eagle thinks it's smart to throw all the same arguments at Obama to troll out lefties where he can go "ah ha got you".
It's actually kind of sad.
Oh well.
You said you think it shows subservience. Others think it's just Obama showing respect. I'm asking you for any examples of that subservience. The whole point of Avro posting Bush with the Saudi royalty is that was an actual case where American interests were placed behind the interests of others. It's called juxtaposition.
Yes...subservient as well as silly...just like Bush holding hands minus the "subservient".
Your comment on the reasons why Avro posted the Bush picture would have held water if he left out the "Awww...isn't that cute" comment.
