Well… the photo, no. The video… that’s another thing.

And I find the “official” explanation ridiculous. Obama is ALREADY holding Abdullah’s hand… and THEN he bows.

And by the way… no, I’m not going in for some nutty conspiracy theory about Obama’s bow being intended to signify his obeisance to Wahabi Islam or something like that. I think it was just a demonstration of his Amateur Hour protocol, erm, difficulties.
