Obama bows to Saudi king
Greeting called 'most unbecoming for president of the United States'

President Obama greeted the king of Saudi Arabia with a full bow from the waist yesterday, a move one commentator described as a violation of protocol and not worthy of the office he holds.
"I am quite certain that this is not the protocol, and is most unbecoming a president of the United States," writes Clarice Feldman in an American Thinker commentary.
The situation developed as leaders of the world attending the G20 summit in London assembled for a photograph to mark the event.
In this first image, after the king extended his hand while Obama approached, Obama bends from the waist until his head is nearly at the monarch's waist:
OK! I saw the video and was shocked. How could the so called POTUS bow to a Monarch. I guess he wants oil. Any defense for the exhaulted messiahs' actions on this total lack of guts? He may as well have said to the world that America will BOW TO ANYONE and pretty much supplicated the US to the entire world. WEAK,WEAK,WEAK. So much for the intelligence and dignity factor. Now I have seen it all. Why is'nt CBS covering this?
2. When attempting to cut costs, should large corporations make an effort to reduce executive salaries before laying off lower level workers?
3. Do you think it is acceptable that the ratio of corporate CEO pay to the pay of the average company worker is roughly 344 to 1 in America today, while it was about 24 to 1 in America in 1965 or roughly 12 to1 today in other financially successful countries such as Japan?
4. Is the current financial crisis the result of a) the deregulation of financial institutions (repealing regulations put into place during the Depression era), b) Wall Street greed, c) irresponsibility of borrowers to be responsible in understanding terms of their loans, d) all of the above?
5. The primary failure of healthcare in the U.S. is: a) that it is primarily dependent on employers, b) that private insurers do not pay valid claims, c) individual policies are too expensive for the self-employed, d) malpractice insurance adds prohibitively to the cost of medical care?
6. Do you support a Medicare-based system of health care available to all citizens on an optional basis?
President Obama in no way inherited this crisis, in fact HE WON IT!
Could he please abstain from being a victim now?
******
If it happened before he took office, how can you say "he didn't inherit it"?
If buying Toxic assets is what was needed, why didn?t the tarp money do this?
******
Because TARP was rushed through without thinking thanks to the input of the previous administration.
What happened to the down payment for health care if there is no program yet?
******
WHAT? Maybe there is no program because we have other more pressing issues to deal with at the moment.
What laws or piece of the constitution is relevant for this administration?
******
Talk to the last administration about that.
Taxes are going up; will top officials be made to pay their share?
******
Perhaps you should talk to Phil "America is a nation of whiners" Gramm who works at UBS and ask him how that investigation of offshore tax evasion of his company is going.
When do we stop mollycoddling the Middle East?
******
As in...his blowing off Ahmedinejad?
Are we afraid of the Muslims or just in bed with them?
******
Try again, no evidence for that.
If the prisoners from Cuba are freed in this country, how much will they get as a bailout? And how do I sign up for this program. Also will you release their home address as in the case of the AIG families?
******
WHAT!
Why is acorn not being investigated for crimes, and why are they profiting from government. Who are they and what is their agenda?
******
Try again.
The give ACT or volunteerism Act
Why does this president think we need a civil volunteer army as strong and well funded as the regular army? Isn?t that what the National Guard is for? And who would command such an army, for what propose, and why would they need to use kids starting from the age of 10? Hitler had such a thing as the Hitler youth and you see where that got him.
******
What in the world are you talking about? You heard a rumor from a friend of a friend about using 10 year old kids and you think it's true? Puh-leeeeeeze!
Why does the Obama administration seem to dislike the Brits, snubbed at every turn?
******
Utter nonsense--did you hear The PM or the Queen complaining?
When does this country officially call us socialists? Is this to happen after he bails out the news papers?
******
WHAT?!
When can we expect our president to release his birth, health and college records?
By not releasing these he keeps a shadow over his administration.
You would think by now this administration could have forged good ones by now.
******
Whatever records he needed to release have been released. Sorry you're so paranoid that you can't accept them.
After this letter I will be audited and I only hope I get as much under sight as Obamas people did. I hope the Giethner rule is applied because America is too big to fail.
******
You are a paranoid freak. Let me assure you that you don't need to cower in fear under your bedcovers like a wuss, because Obama has no intention of going after you just because you don't like him. Puh-leeeeeeeeze!
Get these answers and then I will get back to you, thank you.
I might be having to write my next questions from an Internment camp and I am not sure if I will be allowed my computer!
******
You truly ARE a paranoid freak! Puh-leeeeeeeeze!
You are a freakin' partisan paranoid LOON!
I might be having to write my next questions from an Internment camp and I am not sure if I will be allowed my computer!

99% of your spew is nothing but paranoid garbage!
This is the result of the decline in our educational system over the past 4 decades.
It truly makes me sad that our educational system has failed so badly that we have citizens spewing nonsense like this.

...and Bush called Musharrif, 'General' when asked on 60 minutes about who is now the leader of Pakistan after a coup de tat.
Wall Street Republicans sure do pick 'em dumb so they can use them like a tool to do their bidding.
"Would you support free trade and globalization if it caused you to sacrfice your job"?
Obama: "I'm running to be commander of chief on a record of standing up for our wounded warriors."
Obama: "Our troops fight and die in 20-degree heat to give Iraq's leaders the space to agree, but they aren't filling that space." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks On Iraq, Clinton, IA, 9/12/07)
In August 2007, Obama Mistakenly Referred To "The President" Of Canada, When Canadian Government Is Run By Prime Minister
In May 2008, Obama Claimed His Uncle Helped Liberate Auschwitz
this one is possible because
According To The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Auschwitz Was Liberated By The Red Army On January 27, 1945.
By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of
$20.3 million in migration assistance to the Palestinian refugees and
conflict victims in Gaza . The "presidential determination" which allows
hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the
United States was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4.
Few on Capitol Hill took note that the order provides a free ticket replete
with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their
overwhelming support of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the
parliamentary election of January 2006.
A review of Barack Obama's most recent actions since he was inaugurated:
His first call to any head of state as president was to Mahmoud Abbas,
leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory. His first one-on-one
interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television. He
ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted.
He ordered all overseas CIA interrogation centers closed. He withdrew all
charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and 9/11. Now we learn
that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to
and live in the US at American taxpayer expense.
