Did President Obama Really Bow to the Saudi King?

Bow Wow

Almost every media outlet covered the story when then-President Bush held hands with then-Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah in 2005. The incident took place at the president's Texas ranch. But a gesture by president Obama to King Abdullah at London's G20 summit last week is getting very little attention.

Only some conservative media outlets have criticized the president and accused him of bowing to the Saudi leader. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs insists the president did not bow — adding dismissively — "he used both hands to shake (Abdullah's) hand... I'm sure it's of great cause and concern to people struggling in this economy."

But Michael Goldfarb at the Weekly Standard called the alleged bow "a violation of more than two centuries of tradition and protocol holding that American presidents never bow before royalty."

Re: so dem saying dat Obama bowed to di Saudi king

photo of President Obama apparently bowing in front of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is stirring a royal-size controversy.

The photo and a video were largely ignored by mainstream media outlets but created outrage in some quarters.

“Such an act is a traditional obeisance befitting a king's subjects, not his peer. There is no precedent for U.S. presidents bowing to Saudi or any other royals,” said the conservative Washington Times.

An Obama aide speaking anonymously denied that the president was bowing.

“It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah,” the aide was quoted as saying by Politco.com Wednesday.

That explanation was “absurd,” the conservative Weekly Standard said. And the caption attached to the Getty Images photo said the president was bowing.

The setting was world leaders mingling before their official photo at the G-20 economic summit in London on April 1.

The heads of state were being photographed with Queen Elizabeth II — to whom Obama did not bow, online commenters said.

Some on the Hot Air Web site had fun with the whole affair, offering:

— “That is how they do it in Chicago . . .”
<span style="font-weight: bold">
— “He wasn’t bowing . . . he was ducking in case someone threw a shoe.”</span>

Re: so dem saying dat Obama bowed to di Saudi king

It looked like a bow.. but then he caught himself.. and then it looked like what they said that he was much taller than the man and had to &quot;LEAN IN&quot; a little to say something..

When I first saw it I just went... WOW..
