Where Were The Conservative Concern Mongers When Bush Kissed Abdullah In The White House Rose Garden?
And thеn Bush strolled through thе rose garden wіth hіm, man hand іn man hand. Iѕ thеrе ONE conservative οr republican whο іѕ willing tο admit thаt Bush’s ѕhοw οf affection wаѕ much worse thаn a simple bow аnd hand shake? Iѕ thеrе ONE wіth thаt much integrity?

Thаt’s аn simple one tο аnѕwеr. Hе′s tοο ѕtουt tο bow.
Who knows what was happening when the cameras were off.
Their concern was that Bush could be gay. What else?
Conservatives are by nature followers. Bush was their leader so he could do no incorrect. I reckon there’s much more criticism of Obama from the left than there was of Bush from the right. Herding liberals is like herding cats.
no, they are never incorrect. just question them.
The body language is clear and unmistakable in all cultures.
If it was not a gesture of subordination, why did the Saudi King fail to respond with a similar bow?
Yes, it is right that George W. Bush held the Saudi monarch’s hand and kissed his cheek. But hand holding by men is a common gesture of friendship, not subservience, in Arab culture, as is kissing of the cheek.
Bowing is a very serious matter in many cultures.
When dealing with Japanese, an unreciprocated bow is a rude gesture of dominance. (Clinton bow)
No HEAD OF ANY STATE, should ever publicly bow and bend his knee when meeting another Head of State. Unless they are surrendering their country…….
Obama is a FIRST President of the US that Bowed that low to foreign Head of State……
Before the Kennedy’s first state visit to England, Jacqueline Kennedy questioned Duke whether she should curtsy to the Queen. He told her no because she was the wife of the head of state and heads of state and their wives do not go around bowing and curtsying to one another.
Three years later, after her husband’s funeral, Mrs. Kennedy received guests in the White House family quarters. When Prince Philip greeted her, she curtsied to him. Duke was surprised because Mrs. Kennedy was a stickler for protocol and had a steel trap memory for such things. Noting his surprise, Mrs. Kennedy whispered to him:
“Angie, I’m no longer the wife of a head of state.”
Duke said he immediately left the room and wept.

people over there kiss eachother’s cheek. its a common gesture.

The key difference here is that Bush is an undeniably patriotic American, while his successor is an anti-American turd. Surely you have noticed.
