It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There's a lot of -- I don't know what the term is in Austrian -- wheeling and dealing -- and, you know, people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics.

I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people.

Sure, our president may arguably wield the most potent military force in the world.  In Saudi Arabia (still a kingdom, mind you) our president isn't royalty; he's a man.  There's no weakness in offering respect regardless of the form, and there's a clear distinction between offering respect and prostrating one's self.

I highly doubt Bush would have worn his shoes in the Japanese prime minister's house.  This is no different.

A pity, but probably for the best. All in all.

Anyway, a bow is a bow is a bow is a bow. And a tempest is a tempest, in or out of a teapot.

"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.

Well, duh. The Queen of England, unlike the king of Saudi Arabia, gave up chopping people's heads off with a sword years ago. The man is just being prudent.

well a couple years ago the Saudis were often grouped together with AL queda by all the Bush bashers  ;)

Many on the left would have flipped a couple years ago if bush had done this....along with a denial that it occurred...lol

WHy is Obama lying about it now?  That the Bow never occurred.
