| Video: Obama bows to Saudi king during G20 photo op?
Quote:
Question mark in the headline because I can’t tell for sure without knowing what words passed between them, but it certainly looks like a bow. Skip ahead to 0:50 and judge for yourself. Like the boss says, whether this is more or less nauseating than Bush holding hands with his pal Abdullah while they went for a garden scroll is immaterial. The fact remains that having to co-exist with the Saudis doesn’t mean having to respect them. When they stop whipping old ladies for having unrelated men in their homes, maybe then we can reconsider observing the niceties of protocol.
If this is a bow, it’s more than Elizabeth got when The One met her yesterday. Maybe if she started beheading people for not practicing the state religion, she’d have received a little more deference. Exit quotation from a 1994 edition of the NYT, contemplating the prospect of Clinton bowing to Japan’s emperor: “Canadians still bow to England’s Queen; so do Australians. Americans shake hands. If not to stand eye-to-eye with royalty, what else were 1776 and all that about?”

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |

Easing tensions is easing tensions. Especially when your country is relying on them investing in yours.

At least he did not kiss him or hold hands like Bush did.

Obama: I love this guy http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7978816.stm US President Barack Obama says Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is the "most popular politician on earth" and has attributed it to his good looks.
Chatting at the G20 summit in London, President Obama shook hands with President Lula saying 'love this guy'. | |

OP probably thinks its a big thing because hes one of those people that would start a scrap if you bumped into him accidentally.
Not a big deal at all, it's a sign of mutual respect.

Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.
The world needs everyone with economic power to pitch in. Right now, it's not about the other things, and it certainly doesn't mean it's ignored, just saved for another day of discussion and politics.
I can bet that none of the lame poster comments from above will ever become successful politicians in the future.
