Baba,
The video is on YouTube (all over the place) and one guy even took a John Madden approach and diagrammed the whole thing showing the angles and even measurements. It was funny but at the end it kicks directly over to a Sean Hannity piece that takes away the comedy IMO. Thus the reason I didn't post it.
The real problem in this whole mess is that the Obama people after the fact tired to spin this whole thing as not a bow. Doing that gave legs to the other side and here we are. Even the Saudi's saw all of this as a bow:
If you gotta spin this thing anyway and it's obviously a bow, admit it and then spin it into something of goodwill or whatever. I agree it goes against protocol but truth is we've been bowing to the Saudi's for years so Obama's act at least was done in the light of day. What, all but 2 of the 9/11 killers were from Saudi Arabia, Saudi Wahhabism fueled extremist religious zeal and monies are known to flow from Saudi to extremist and yet in all of this not a thing changed during the Bush years (funny how oil and dollars supported by oil do that) and now you guys clamour because Obama just did in public what others did in private? I guess this is the perfect result of a society driven by cults of personality who only see the surface and never see (choose to ignore) the details!
I'll say this, Obama earned his "Change" merit badge on this one
, it's just sad he loses it on so many other places!

The truth is like all 1st timers this president is learning on the job, leaning towards the center, employing the old and the new, and realizing power to invoke the exclusive change your harping on is almost un-attainable and may take longer to achieve (considering his inheritance) than expected with some prodding. He has invoked many changes already before his 100 day grading period and seems to be creating a more transparent gov't than his predecessor.
BaBa, This may be an obsessive issue to you but it means nothing to most people, get over it....
Wkmac....Why get caught up in the blogger/cable news wars...Like you said in another thread, It's a very small percentage of the population. Most normal people don't care, they have bigger fish to fry.....

Moreluck, are you equating President Obama and a bucket of KFC ?? Are Cochise and I the only ones who finds something politically incorrect with that statement ?

Nope a great and powerfull leader like our president should occasionally show compassion for the leaders of third world countries. He should never bow to them.

I think Obama should run with it. Its a better excuse then saying he bowed to the king.

It purely a charity thing D. I've been told that if these guys don't get some limited mental exercise, their brains will freeze. Hoax keeps em' going over at the birth certificate thread so I thought I'd pull up the slack here!
I guess it's kinda like when Coolhand Luke was asked why he cut the heads off the parking meters.
Love that movie.

Concerning Transparency, ProPublica posted this on November 7th concerning President Obama and his open declarations about bringing a new transparency to the White House. Then today, ProPublica posted this as an update to where and how Obama is doing in regards to transparency. When it comes to comparing Obama to Bush, I've seen a couple of things I thought were good and I've given him credit here for it but overall, I'm not letting up. Obama may have meant well early on (with all due respect to our economic differences) but the Washington power structure that controls both parties will not relent easily if we roll over and play the accepting citizen. The only thing that will get us is something up the backside again that we've gotten over and over after each election and now they for go the lube. And what little bit of a reach around is dry too!

More, More, More....If I posted every racially insensitive joke someone sent me Hoax would be on me like white on rice.....
The funny thing is, the way you describe "The Bow", is like The leader of Prussia expected Sparta's "King Leonadis" to bow on his knees and surrender to him...
I think Obama should run with it. Its a better excuse then saying he bowed to the king.
Tie, would UPS or yourself put up with racial jokes at PCM's and or Management meetings?
That German Co, publicly claimed they're unaware of the fried chicken / African American sterotype. But since your skeptical of the racial implications, here's a good litmus test, why don't you visit a Popeye's Fried Chicken or KFC on Martin Luther King Blvd and stand on your soap box
, and share that little joke of Obama not bowing but bending down to grab some fried chicken from a KFC bucket. and see what happens....
Was it all that offensive? Blacks and fried chicken jokes have been around as long as there has been fried chicken. I think you all should lighten up. Its like making fun of Italians for liking Pasta, Or Hungarians for liking potato salad, or Greeks for liking Baklava.[video=youtube;wJ4B7G8Rw3Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ4B7G8Rw3Q&feature=related[/video]
