Presidents and kings

Obama appears to be bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia. Traditionally, American presidents do not bow down to kings.

'There are many good reasons for this, starting with "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." It would seem that President Obama hasn't read or understood that document.'

From : American Digest, which is not really friendly to their president.

And for those who still doubt how "petty" American political blogging can be : http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/04/with_bowed_head_and_bended_kne.html.

But there are worse commentaries. The blogosphere appears to be loaded with comments on this "incident".

The president bows to an Arab king ; his wife touches the queen of Great Britain on the back - the end of the world must be near !
