Did President Obama really bow the king of Saudi Arabia? It seems it was, and sure was a gaffe.  I don’t think that is included in President’s foreign trips’ protocol. Barack Obama is humble but bowing the King of Saudi Arabia does not show a right sense of judgment, and more importantly, does not reflect the values that this nation is built on. I understand that the President is young and want to show a different picture of the United States and his predecessor, but there are better ways to do so. There is nothing special about Saudi Arabia to praise, except the subsidized oil the Kingdom provides for the United States. Honestly, it’s very hard to explain such an action!
