White House: Bow, What Bow? Obama Didn’t Bow
Ben Smith reports the White House is denying the president kowtowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London last week.
“It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah,” said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Ummm… Obama’s left hand is clearly at his side as he bowed…sorry, kissed the feet of his king.
