Let the Obamagic envelop you!

I'm sure by now you have seen the video where our president is bowing to the Saudi king.  This was a big deal, as protocol says that a sitting president should never bow to a foreign dignitary.  The reason being, as a fellow blogger reported:
"Our ancestors believed that all men are created equal and did not bow to kings out of dedication to that principle. They understood that bowing was a societal gesture designed to acknowledge and highlight the fundamental inequality between different men in a social hierarchy"-moderncounterculture.com
What is interesting in the bow, is how far he bows.  You see the farther you bow the more you are submitting to the other person.  Back in the day people carried swords, so when you bowed and showed your full neck you were saying "I know I'm not worthy.  I only hope in your infinite mercy don't cut my head off".  If you notice he bows so far he actually has to bend a knee.  If more amazing is that the Saudi king has his hand out awaiting a handshake!  Even he knows protocol!  
Now here's the real puzzler...the white house is denying that he bowed.  According to an anonymous white house aide:
"It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah,"
Really?  Then why later on does he only shake hands of a leader who is the same height as the king?  More importantly why even try to cover this up?  With the fact that you are destroying the foundation of America taking away rights, and capitalism altogether...why not save your lies for more important things?




The bow comes at the 50 second mark, the handshake around the 1:45 mark
