Obama bowed to the Saudi King last week. Did he violate protocol for the president of the United States, bowing to another leader? Yes he did. If he would have just admitted it was a rookie mistake, we would forgive him for it (although further advancing the thought that his handlers are clueless).
But the White House claims it was NOT a bow. Unbelievable. How they can lie and get away with that is absolutely freakin amazing! But this is the media today as we know it.

Just imagine if Bush would have done that.... Or had he given an ipod to the Queen, or a boxed DVD set to the British PM.... it goes on and on.....
