You are blind, Ken. Watch the video - both shots. He bows and grasps the kings right hand with his right hand. When he come up, you can see his left arm/hand move from his side to grasp the king's hand. His head was BELOW the kings head, almost level with the king's chest. It was a bow. Stop denying it and it will go away. I'm not outraged at the whole thing. I am wonderfully entertained by how Obama's staff is wiggling about it. Left hand had the prez's side. Bow finished. Left hand comes from the left side to grasp the king's hand. Hell, Obama was so low, he might have actually KISSED the kings hand. d;o) |

Oh, please - Obama could say the sun rises in the west and sets in the east over DC, and with your jungle-feverish mancrush, you'd claim he was the world's greatest astronomer... What's hilarious about the whole non-incident is that the same right-wing whackjobs who are pretending to be outraged over this silliness ignored Bush pere and fils kissing Saudi ass lo these many years. Actually, men holding hands in the Arab world is perfectly normal, whereas King Abdullah has it well-known that he considers such as bowing to him to be inappropriate...if you weren't such a unworldly narrow-minded homophobe, you might have known the former...and if Obama had real world experience or anything but amateurs around him, they might have known the latter...

Some cities want bridges and schools from the federal stimulus plan.
Virginia Beach wants all of that and sand, too. Beach officials are concerned the Obama administration will disqualify sand replenishment projects from receiving stimulus cash and have launched a pre-emptive lobbying effort. Mayor Will Sessoms sent a letter to members of the city's congressional delegation asking that Virginia Beach get $10 million to replace sand at the Oceanfront. The city needs the sand as protection against hurricanes and to lure tourists, said Phillip Roehrs, the city's water resources engineer. |
