Three days, four hours, and sixteen minutes.

Why do you have a problem with Obama bowing to the Saudi King?

He is trying to repair all the damage with the Islamic countries that GWB caused, and to me, thats pretty damn smart.

didnt GWB refer to teh War on Terror as a 'crusade'? Does that not send shivers up your spine?

"Diplomatic protocol" is what some may argue. If that is true, then why is Obama the only head of state bowing to the king? And why didn't he bow like this to Queen Elizabeth II?

Heads of State do not bow to one another.

I'm not even convinced that he did bow, it seems to be like the video of him allegedly getting snubbed while shaking hands with some diplomats.

If it wasn't a bow, then it was an instant attack of whatever he had for lunch!

Look at it slowly, in fast forward, backward...it all comes down to a deep bow.

There's the guy right in front of the camera and there was the small bow right after that, like he leaned in a little, and the saudi did the same...so it makes no sense why he would bow twice. I personally don't care either way, I don't get the fuss about it even if he did, at least our president isn't getting shoes thrown at him now. Our image all around the world is a lot better.
