Video: President Obama Bows Down to the King of Saudi Arabia – Refrains From Chanting Drill Baby Drill
Presient Obama is duringseen bowing down to the Saudi King during the G-20 Economic Summit
First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama breached protocol by touching Queen Elizabeth’s back, but the President has it right by bowing down to the sellers of America’s oil upon which it is dependent.
President Obama bows down to the Saudi King around 0:50 in the above video
Want to bet the President did NOT say “Drill Baby Drill?”
But, then again, in this flashback to President Bush, this is not the first time a President and Saudi King have gotten intimate.
Update:
Here is another view of the bow:
And, according to protocol, American Presidents do not bow to foreign monarchs.

Would someone bring the Obamas home before they embarrass the US even more?

Oh don’t worry, the Obama’s don’t brake protocol all the time, just when there is oil involved.
I don’t remember him bowing for the Queen of England, our special friend.

I think people are just jumping for a byte. Look closer at the picture. It is quite obvious that he is looking for his fallen contact lens. The sheik, with his old school specs was able to spot it and saved the day. I think it’s great when people can work together like that.

Why am i not surprised by Obama bowing down to saudi king? Of-course he would since Obama has muslim roots in his family tree which till this day liberals are in denial of. It’s only a matter of time till liberals god Obama and liberals themselves will all have america bowing down on its knees to islam and terrorists. I guess its true when i told my friends this is how democracy dies, with thunderous applause when Obama became president of our country. And things only been gettin worser, not better. Thanks for turning America into a hell hole thats bound to come Liberals, who we all know are UNAMERICANS!

would your just fuck off of obama. you know what your franking white people are just stuck up. he met no harm. if you are smart you should know that was a sacastic bow, it met no harm. very friendly. that doesn’t make him any less of a leader. when it comes to making though decision he will not relent from kicking that shit of a king ass. so you just chill he knows what he doing. for God sake he’s a Havard graduate. He’s very gifted he had made to places where some of you who runing your mouth will never make it in your life. places that are just dreams for you all. just chill and watch the pro work. He’s on to some thing here just so you know shit heads. just so you know i am white , not black. but for obama all the way.

Hi, what about the Saudi King? If he is so nice, why didnt he bow before Obama as well? Maybe it would not have been as bed if both of them bowed (like the Japanese gesture). But in this case, it was only Obama, meaning he is the one showing respect to the Saudi guy, but not vice versa. King or no Kind, President or not, it should be either none or both, not just one the way Obama did.

The public actions of touring Presidents are debated and crafted well in advance of such an event by White House staff and seasoned diplomats. Something as important as how to greet other world leaders at a global Summit is not left to chance.
Obama purposefully bowed to communicate something to someone.
