That is an arab custom of friendship. Not one I would want to engage in, but a custom. They do the kiss on both cheeks thing too.

He didn't bow down to the Saudi king. The king droopped a 100 dollar bill and Bobo Christ, Super Star was just going after it.

What the hell is he bending over and picking up a C-Note for? The Obamessiah can make $9.3 trillion appear out of thin air.

um, if the symbolism is about friendship, then the bow doesn't mean what you claim.

Since, the basis on which the United States of America has conducted it relationship with her Britannic Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, is that the United States is a Government of the People by the People, since US President Barack Obama has now voided that arrangement by placing the United States of America under the rule of a foreign despot, do the lands and territories of His Majesty King George III in the American colonies not revert back to the British Crown?
