On his recent trip President Obama is seen in what appears to be a bow to the King of Saudi Arabia.  There is much controversary over this action.  If it was, indeed, a bow, was it simply a display of respect to a head of state?  If so, why didn't he bow to the Queen of England, or other heads of state.

Another theory presented by the White House Staff, is that because he is taller than the King, he had to bend down to shake hands.  This author has a young grandson who is much shorter that himself.  If his arms are long enough for the 5'9'' man to shake with the 4' child without bending, then what is the President's excuse?

It is the opinion of Richmond Speaks, that this is simply another show of disrespect for America by demonstrating subservance to a foreign entity.

If only we can survive the next 4 years.  As someone once said, "...we had to endure 4 years of Carter before we got to Reagan."
