The White House denied that the president bowed during a meeting on the sidelines of the London conference, though photographs show Mr. Obama at least stooped significantly before the 84-year-old monarch.
"It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah," an Obama aide told Politico.com.
Lying scum . . . watch the video here and you tell me.
Jaysus, do they really think we're that stupid?
It's okay, though - Barry is doing damage control:
There's a new reason Thursday night will be different from all other nights: Barack Obama is attending what's believed to be the first presidential Seder in the White House.The White House provided no details of what insiders said will be a small, private event like one Obama did a year ago while he was still battling Hillary Clinton in the primaries.

Digi,
Please take this in the spirit I'm offering it. I don't mean to be disrespectful. And, I don't mean to be nasty. But, this is really bothering me, more so this week.
You write beautiful and informative posts about our faith. Beautiful. Your commentary on Catholicism, particularly traditional Catholicism, is well thought out, and educational, for the most part. And, I truly appreciate those posts.
And then, you turn around write something like this Jaysus, do they really think we're that stupid?.
You and I, and probably everyone else who reads this, knows you're using the Lord's name in vain, even when you do change a couple of letters. I bet He knows it, too.
Can you NOT do this, especially during Holy Week? Pretty please? I would be truly grateful. Thanks in advance, and have a wonderful Holy Week, and a glorious Easter.
He was bowing period...obama hates America
What decent Jew in his right mind would have a seder meal with Zero? Among the really orthodox, it would be considered "unkosher." And after he gave 900 million to Palestinian terrorists? They'd have to be insane, but then I think all his shock troops are insane.
El, Digi isn't using the Lord's name in vain, so much as calling upon him to help smite this bastard, because that's what it's going to take to strike him down.
El,
I am sorry this is bothering you, but while your comment is not disrespectful, it is, in my opinion, presumptuous. I have no idea who you are, nor do you know me, to make a public request such as this. I also do not respond well to passive-aggressive "pretty pleases" and "I bet He knows it, too."
I wrote Jaysus not to change letters, as you suggest, but because it is part of my vernacular as someone who grew up in a Catho-Irish neighborhood in the Bronx. I do not consider it to be a violation of the 2nd Commandment. I do not consider the 2nd Commandment to be about language. I do consider it to be about evil in the name of religion, whether it means a priest preaching about love while molesting a child or an Islamic jihadist killing innocents for Allah, and reducing it to be about a well-worn epithet diminishes its meaning.
Would you criticize Jesus for his cry, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" Think of the context in which He said it - sometimes, as Karen suggests, we call upon God to express our frustration in His creation, not to blaspheme Him.
Totally a bow.
Who you gonna believe - Obama or your lyin' eyes?
What people don't realize is that, in his nervousness, he had dropped the gift he had brought for the guy....The can of Deviled Ham. He was just stooping to pick it up.
Okay, Digi. Whatever floats your little boat. I wasn't being 'passive-aggresive', I was trying to be polite. I won't make that mistake with you, again.
By the way, you're not the only Irish Catholic around, and I could give a rip if you're from the Bronx or the North Pole. This Irish Catholic thinks it's blasphemous, and I also think your excuses are lame. Reminds me of the Catholics who make excuses for not attending Mass every Sunday. Pick and choose what you want to believe. You want to use the Lord's name in a disrespectful manner, go for it.
Oh ... if you really wanted to 'get' Obama, try praying for him, as Pope Benedict suggested. Might get more accomplished than you and your tough girl talk. The only one impressed with that is you.
I'll keep you in my prayers, too.
El, whatever . . .
Oh, El. You had too many protestant girlfriends!
Look up the word "Blasheme" sometime when you get a chance. There's a difference between saying
"JESUS! Traffic is JUST NOT MOVING." And actual blasphemy.
As Buckley tried to explain it once, even nuns in Spain could say "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I can't find my umbrella." It's not "taking the Lord's name in vain."
You sound like a convert.
Hey EL, those are my initials and I am offended. Please refrain from using them in the future or legal action will be initiated against you. And BTW, O'Vomit the phoney President is an asshole.
You sound like a convert. - GOTO
What's this? A little inbred Catholic bigotry? Wonderful! Perfect timing, too. You're going to make the new Catholics feel so special. Are you going to hiss at them during the Vigil?
As for myself, I'll be happy to provide you with my bona fides. I was baptized, by Fr. Bryan T. O'Roarke, on January 24, 1954, exactly 20 days after I was born.
My catechesis was provided by priests. And, this might impress Digi - some of them were Irish, actually from Ireland - O’Roarke, Mannion, Fiztgerald. Not the Bronx, I know, but still ... We were also taught by Sisters, in full habit, I might add. My favorites were Sr. Dorothy and Sr. John Bosco. Received three more sacraments from 1962 to 1967, under the tutelage of these fine and devout people.
Notice the dates. This was before everyone went nuts over Vatican II. Everything we were taught would, today, be called ‘traditional’. Back then, it was called Catholicism.
Let's see. What else ... oh, I know! My Godparents' last name is Corrigan, and I had a nun doll.
Catholic enough for you? I hope so. That's all I've got. Well, except the 55 years I've spent practicing my faith.
In any case, I do, sincerely, wish you and everyone here a beautiful Easter. And, remarkably enough, I'm still going to add you to the beads, whether you like it or not.
And now, I'm leaving. Not one to stay where I'm not welcome.
El,
While you're not one to stay where you're not welcome - as you say - you are one to want to have the parting word, eh? Which only supports my initial contention about your passive-aggressive nature.
So you're a bona fide Catholic - doesn't mean you can't be an insufferable boor at the same time. Somewhere I suspect there is a priest rolling his eyes when he hears you saying, "Can I just have a quick word with you, Father - pretty please? Listen, can you NOT take shortcuts with the Eucharistic Prayer? I noticed you didn't say it quite right last Sunday, although usually you say the Mass so beautifully. I would be truly grateful - after all, I always keep you in my prayers, and . . ."
Come back anytime. Use your real name, even.
Stephanie
