Latest Video: Do We Care about the Obama Bow?

On Wednesday night, ABC's Nightline programme asked, "We ask you, was it a bow and do you care?"

Yes and yes! And a big wag of the finger at the radicals of The Huffington Post, who tried to distract us, "Other conservatives didn't make a peep about the proximity of the Bush family and King Abdullah for the past eight years but now, seemingly, are filled with outrage over a symbolic gesture of respect."

Let's get back to the real story. Here's the very dramatic exchange at Thursday's White House press briefing --- how long can irrelevancies about "the economy" hold back the impeachment of the President?

Obama, the President of the United States and leader of the free world, bows to a Saudi King who represents a despotic regime noted for its’ human rights violations, a birthplace of terrorists, a symbol of everything that is an antithesis to our system of government, and it’s no big deal?

I consider myself fortunate to have been born in a republic. I appreciate that as a citizen of a republic, I need not bow to any man or woman. We are all created equal, and blood lines do not make one person superior. This gesture by Obama should rankle every citizen for when Obama bowed as President of the United States, we all bowed.

He did bow, see the video from the latest angle:

Hey Jordan. Were you also troubled when Obama's predecessor kissed the Saudi king
and held his hand? His father while president had similar interactions.
