And then the White House tried to put a positive spin on it, saying that the Queen had “asked” for the iPod. How in the world did that request be made known? Did she call up Rahm Emauel and say, “Please be sure that when Pres. Obama comes to the G20, that the gift he give to me be an iPod, eventhough I already have one?” Ridiculous. Whoever is giving Obama advice on protocol should be fired.

And the bowing at the waist to the king of Saudi Arabia was a huge, grave mistake, but no one on the evening news is talking about it. Remember when Bush Sr. went to Australia years ago, and was flashing the “V” sign for “Victory” (or maybe it was for “peace,” can’t remember) to the Aussies? He didn’t know that was the equivalent to flashing “the bird” and he really was burned in the media for it. Aussies were all angry at it, and even though Bush apologized for it, the media wouldn’t let it rest that he “flipped off” the Aussies.

But bowing to a king, I think, is a far more dangerous show of weakness on the part of Obama. He is showing subservience, showing that he believes America is not strong, that he is not an equal to the Saudi king. The MSM is not commenting on this, ignoring it.

At least Bush looked more like a bullying lout when he “V-signed” the Aussies rather than the contrite pansy Obama is looking like. If it’s MY commander in chief, I’ll take the bully over the weak little pansy any day.
