is it "hero worship" to question your posting a photo of the queen of england and some arabs meeting with obama as somehow meaning something?

if you have some criticism, go ahead. to merely put out this stuff, well....it makes you look a taco short of a mexican plate.

No what's hero-worship that no slight, no criticism, no joke, goes unchallenged and rationalized. TheOne could bite a chickens head off and you'd find a way to rationalize it right now.

You've got it bad.....real bad....

OK, so explain how the queen of england and the arabs have ANYTHING to do with the obama administration....much less the current situation with north korea, and how the response by the obama administration should change.

see, what you are doing is merely self flaggellation. interesting to watch, but devoid of meaning.

TheOne photo was ironical, I thought about finding one with only theOne in it but didn't bother.

In that he was bowing down to the Saudia Arabia king and no one says boo about it. Whereas even Clinton was taken to task by the NYTimes for even a very,very slight bow to the King.. And dubya was taken to task for holding the dudes hand.

But bow in deferecne...nothing...nada..hence the posting of the photo. For what it's worth, IMO the US prez. should bow to no one. It's not a big deal, I don't expect theOne (or democrats in general to be honest) to have much respect for traditions. So I'm not all bent out of shape over it, just funny..your reaction just makes it funnier.

For all of the hero-worshippers out there...

You are AWESOME!!! Now I'm really getting flashbacks...I used to play that and on another .45 I had "Rubberband Man" - That was before my teenage years...times were easy as a kid...no stress, just having fun!!!

Thanks for the reminder on "Starbird No. 2" !!!!!!!!

you're exhibitng a severe case of exaggeration. first, the "bow" is done by most people, inc our president, to not only royalty but it (in case you didn't know) is a custom of respect in many cultures.

and the photot of the queen? just what was that all about?

would like to see the "taken to task" of bush for shaking a "dudes hand"...

let's sort out this contradiction...on the one hand, you don't want our prez to "bow to no one", but then you believe the prez should "have...respect for tradition". so if it is "tradition" to show respect by bowing, an act that many of our president's have done out of "respect" for those cultures where a bow is typically done, which is he to do?

just another case of damned if he does, damned if he doesn't by the right....

my reaction? this isn't anything to make a case out of. see, I'm not getting bent out of shape by insignifigant, trivial bs. too bad the right and you in particular can't seem to follow that road.

Abdullah-Bush Stroll Strikes Nerve
President Bush and Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah holding hands as they stroll. It's only Wednesday, but I think we can all agree on a "picture of the week."

"Picture of the week?" asks XXXX. "It might be picture of the month."

He's got a point, if headlines, cartoons and late night comics are any criteria.

As I said the picture of the queen was just the other side of the same photo. The photo had both of them side by side..I just didn't bother to find one only with obama.

Since you can't seem to get over that part. Here's the picture with only theOne.

NYTimes on Clinton

Quote:

In 1994 the New York Times strongly criticized Bill Clinton for a slight inclination of his shoulders towards Japanese Emperor Akihito. Yet today, when Barack Obama does an all-out bow before the King of Saudi Arabia the media has found it unworthy of any reporting, let alone criticism.

This is what the New York Times wrote in 1994: "It wasn’t a bow, exactly. But Mr. Clinton came close. He inclined his head and shoulders forward, he pressed his hands together. It lasted no longer than a snapshot, but the image on the South Lawn was indelible: an obsequent President, and the Emperor of Japan. Canadians still bow to England’s Queen; so do Australians. Americans shake hands. If not to stand eye-to-eye with royalty, what else were 1776 and all that about?... Guests invited to a white-tie state dinner at the White House (a Clinton Administration first) were instructed to address the Emperor as 'Your Majesty,' not 'Your Highness' or, worse, 'King.' And in what one Administration aide called 'some emperor thing,' an Army general was cautioned that he should not address the Emperor Akihito at all as he escorted him to the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery. But the 'thou need not bow' commandment from the State Department’s protocol office maintained a constancy of more than 200 years. Administration officials scurried to insist that the eager-to-please President had not really done the unthinkable."

Mavdog(and MSM) on Obama....can do no wrong, cannot be criticized.

I disagree with miss manners. jehl and the times view was wrong in 94, apparently their view has changed and now they're right in 2009.
