I responded on the dead thread before I saw this one, I’ll copy it here:

Receiving a medal from the Saudis is bad. Dancing with them is bad. Doing business with them is bad. Not recognizing them for what they are is bad.

So Bush and other American Presidents acted badly.

I’m sorry, but this was different.

No one else bowed. Did someone in his entourage advice Obama to bow- that person should be fired.

Or is there something innate in Obama that causes an instinctive Bow to the Saudi King- and to the Saudi King ONLY.

I don’t know how you now dismiss it Charles, when in real time it struck you enough to immediately post a thread.

Think me irrational and deranged but it bothers me.
