America's position in the world

The recent uproar over Obama's bow to the Saudi King by the right in America is a display of utter hypocrisy once again. Where was the outrage from these hypocrites when Bush and his father were holding hands with the king? What's worse is that they entirely miss the symbolism of the bow. Notice how the Chinese president didn't lower his head but Obama did. Two things can explain this, 1) Obama's personality--let's face it, the guy is a total suck up. He's the type to take a slap to his face and not do anything about it because he is a bitch. I doubt the guy has been in a fight all his life. He goes along to get along, even if corrupt and dishonest scumbags are along for the ride. Why is all this important? Because it matters if a so-called leader of a population of 300 million will stand up to the bullies and the moneyed men that hold sway over the kingdom's purse. You don't need a strongman or a dictator to put these special interests in check, but you do needa man or a woman who won't back down from a fight, whether that comes from the Republican opposition or the Bankers. And 2) the bow symbolizes America's standing in the world. Its the biggest debtor who won't call the shots for much longer. In other words, America better show respect, - or else.
