While many on the right are attacking Barack Obama for bowing down to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, one conservative blog, Little Green Footballs, has placed this in perspective with the above picture of George Bush also bowing. LGF concludes:
This deference to a very bad country has been going on for decades; it didn’t start with Barack Obama, or with George W. Bush, or with John F. Kennedy for that matter.
Instead of impeaching Barack Obama, America needs to impeach its gas tanks.
Update: I posted this primarily because I was amused when I received a link to Little Green Footballs defending Obama. It was sort of a “man bites dog” story, but (like all the recent stories along these lines) not of terribly much signficance. There is argument over in the comments at LGF as to whether Bush was only bending to accept a medal or whether he was also bowing down to Abdulla. I don’t think this is important enough to get involved in. Those who care to argue the issue can join the argument at LGF.
