Reply #8: He should, he bowed wrong. [View All]

This has been odd. It looked so unlike a bow in the first pic and video I saw (the bended leg is not bow form at all) that I wondered if he was reaching, it was no respectful bow... Surely he'd know how to bow!
Then a picture that showed his left hand visible, so not a reach, but a completely different angle. I went and looked for the video that was from and watched that one several times.

It is even more no respectful bow. It is a bow and not disrespectful...just not anything formal, not with bow style and with a big smile...like a goofing around bow, a friendly gesture. Like if you were on friendly terms and joshing a little.

The king was holding his hand way out to Obama as he was seeing him approach and they did talk as equals, friendly. Had I been there watching it would have just amused me I think. The not amusing part is how it was taken and of course that's no surprise.
