Alfonso Jones Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 The White House has indeed commented on the bow. The explanation is this: Obama was not bowing; but the Saudi king is considerably shorter than Obama, and so the president had to stoop to shake his hand.There's an old saying that sometimes it's better to be thought a fool and say nothing, rather than to speak and leave no doubt.BarbaraAbsolutely amazing.Bill P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emb021 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Wasn't Elvis Presley called the King?So was Jack Kirby.But the difference is people like them were called 'the king' in recognition to their TALENT. Not like your royals (of whatever country) who have the title because their ancestor beatup everyone else's ancestor (or more likely got other people's ancestor's to beat up everyone else's).I'm also reminded of when people make referrence to that waste of space Paris Hilton about how girls like her are 'america's royalty'. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
