Disgusting lack of social awareness and protocol. At minimum, that is bad enough. To exhibit this as the chief officer of the USA, the President, is absolutely inexcusable. It is a clear sign of one or more of the following:
1. Arrogance if he is not listening to his staff.
2. Incompetence on the part of his staff.
3. Incompetence on his part for picking such incompetent staff.
4. Incompetence on his part for actually doing it, regardless the reason.
5. With a complete knowledge of history, protocol, and standards of expectation, knowingly demonstrating an intentional and complete disregard for the Office of President and ALL it represents (including this great nation, you and me!!)
6. Same as number 5, but with additional intentions to signal worldwide his agenda to lead the United States into submission to international authority (away from our Constitutional guided rule of law), and reduce us from our state as the one and only free and independent national superpower in the world. In essence, to direct a massive and global re-distribution of the wealth of the United States, produced by hard working Americans under the freedom which we used to enjoy. Either for personal power or ideology, in my mind, this is treason and/or sedition.

I won’t even get into the use of our criminal court system to try prisoners of war, or enemy combatents, or whatever label is used as identification, by his allowance and under the direction of those under hsi direct control. Just watch if they do not ask that Sharia Law be included somehow in those proceedings as the camels nose in the tent. (sorry for the thread jack, but so much comes to mind when anything is discussed that is in reference to this poor excuse of a man usurping the highest office in the land. And the use of that word has NOTHING to do with his birthplace or questions of his “citizenship”. It has EVERYTHING to do with his actual personal words and actions in office. Imagine if Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, or either Bush I or II had done what he has done and continues to do and allow. It would be just as wrong. This has nothing to do with political party (dem v. rep) or even right v. left. This is theft of our way of life and form of government, started many decades ago and continuing on a scale and in such blatent open process that those with eyes to see are aware of where this will lead. We are the frogs being slowly boiled int he pot. (sorry for the thread jack, Fred. Feel free to cut this and paste elsewhere as you see fit).

Bowing so low is a sign of submission, couple this with the American apology tour and it is troublesome.

It’s a good thing I’m not President. I would probably get shot because I would not bow down to any foreign leader.

Yep Silver Fox…..the left hand is only for body cleaning.

Read below info taken off another website….

Customs & Etiquette in Muslim world

Right Hand, Left Hand

As with many local customs around the world, Islam distinguishes the use of the right and left hands for a number of applications.
The left hand is primarily used for cleaning yourself, especially for cleaning the private parts after using the toilet.
The right hand is used for just about everything else – shaking hands, eating and picking up the Qur’an should only be done with the right hand – be sure to remember this!

If someone offers to shake your hand while it is dirty, don’t offer to shake with your left. Simply tell them that your hand is dirty, and offer your right forearm for him / her to shake instead. NOTE: Only offer to shake hand with someone of the same gender as you.
With regards to writing, drawing, or any other activities, there is no preference between your left and right hands.

It was years ago one of our past Presidents ( could have been Clinton or Carter ) was visiting another country and patted some little boy on the head with his left hand. There was a big outcry about that…because the head is suppose to be their direct contact with Allah…and patting someone on the head disrupts that contact…but patting them on the head with the sh*t hand ( left hand ) is really an insult. So much for trying to impress someone…lol

OK, haven’t found the original for that pic – but look at the wiper blades on the vehicle behind them – where Bush’s left arm could or should be. There is a definite line where a clumsy photoshop happened.

Good sense of humor going on, though.

Its seems the old saying in now wrong “pictures never lie” use to ring true, but in todays world! I don’t know about the kiss or the hand-holding, its does seem odd to me. I doubt Bush would kiss a man on the lips, as for the ass-wiping hand thats news to me, but sounds right. Yup, I right handed, but a lefty when it comes to that. My secret is out!!!
