re: #6 Athens Runaway

I have been reminding my Republican friends who are upset about Obama bowing (or whatever he did) that not only did Bush sword-dance with the Saudis, he bowed as well.

Not that it makes it right, but it’s important not to put inconvenient truths down the memory hole.

You can’t excuse Bush & then blame Obama for similar conduct.
However if you did break bad on Bush for it, then I would say that Obama is fair game.
It is really not getting a lot of play anyway & the White House is silly to comment.
