The Obama Administration states “anonymously” that, regarding our president bowing before King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia:
An Obama aide speaking anonymously denied that the president was bowing.
“It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah,” the aide was quoted as saying by Politco.com Wednesday.
The Saudi press appreciated the move, and wrote:
Obama wished to demonstrate his respect and appreciation of the personality of King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz, who has made one of the most important calls in the modern era, namely the call for inter-faith and inter-cultural dialogue to defuse the hatred, conflict and wars.”
Here is the appropriate link to Politco.
You can see the photo above.
And therein lies the problem — the huge problem, the vast gap between myself and the Obama Administration. And it doesn’t have much to do with Mr Obama bowing to a “king” (with the caveat that he appeared to treat Abdullah with more deference than he did the Queen of England) — it has to do with another issue entirely.
It involves the truth.
Because the Obama Administration lied.
It didn’t prevaricate; it didn’t make a mistake; it didn’t misunderestimate; it didn’t state a half-truth. It simply LIED.
Let me spell it out: L – I – E – D.
And here is what you Demorats and Leftists and Socialists and Religious Left refuse to do, which is why I’ll not now and never be in your camp: you won’t OWN IT.
Mr Obama bowed to a Saudi King. OWN IT.
You’re not “progressives,” you’re, at minimum, Liberals. OWN IT.
This administration wants to completely remake this country with Social Re-Engineering by taking American private interests and the American public hostage, so that it can control every aspect of American life:
- Where we live;
- How we live;
- What we eat;
- What we drink;
- How we are transported;
- And so much more. You know the rest.
This administration will do this, is doing this, by utilizing staggering amounts of money in order to acquire more power over every occupant of this country.
Why do you lie? Because you don’t have the ethics to state your true intentions. You lack courage. And you wish to cloak your real intentions: the truth behind your actions.
You won’t OWN IT.

Excellent post BZ!!
Exactly! Lies! And if their agenda is so great and so good for our future…why not tell it like it is? Tell us the idea, the plans…because they know it isn’t good.
Thank you for posting this!! You are right on!!
YES!
THINKING people have to ask: why is it that your agenda is NOT clear as crystal??
BZ
Obama lied and America died.
Or so the left hopes.
What is scary is how many people are believing and spreading the lie. Of course, that is why I have this bible verse at the top of my blog Three Ball Dead:
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie (2 Thessalonians 2:11)
Well, good thing he didn’t KISS him, hold his hand and have him out to the ranch for dinner.
Can you imagine the outrage?
Any President that Bows, kisses, holds hand and has this Anti-American prick over for dinner is a Traitor to the USA, IMO.
Can you name the Presidents that have done so?
Ranando:
1. Kiss his hand? Bush.
2. Traitor? That’s not the point.
Who LIED about it WHOLESALE and then OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED the lie?
I don’t much care about the bow;
Like the issue with CLINTON:
OWN IT.
DON’T LIE about it.
Don’t spend days and days of the media’s time. MY time. YOUR time.
YOU’RE the MESSIAH.
FUCKING
– OWN
– IT.
BZ
I know where Ranando is going with that post, and he is 100% correct, Bush hugged him, kissed his cheeks, on his face then held his hand like a long lost brother as he escorted him into the house in Crawford…
That pissed me off, and Ranando too, we discussed it at length…
I can’t believe they think they’d actually be fooling anyone with this lie. It’s so obvious!
Liberals don’t deal in truth – period!
VW
Yes we did Fred and thanks for bringing this up.
Where were you people when Bush did this, kind of like the Muslims NOT standing up to Muslims for attacking the USA.
Fred and I for over two years have been Saudi Arabia is our biggest enemy and where were you and your commenters?
Not a Fucking word was said about Bush Bowing to the Saudis, give me a fucking break.
Now you bring it up?
I won’t and don’t stand with anyone who praises Saudi Arabia. Fuck them now and Fuck them then.
Which President as a teenager when visting Saudi Arabia with his family stayed at the bin Laden family compound?
Which President and his family were infact in business with the bin Ladens?
BZ, give me a break.
Looked more like a Monica Lewinski than a bow to me. Either way it was disgusting, and Bush was just as disgusting! The Saudis are one of our BIGGEST enemies, always have been and always will be.
Has the story of the BHO been given much coverage in the mainstream media? If so, I haven’t seen such coverage.
Anyway, BHO CLEALY AND OBVIOUSLY bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia. Yet, we have this lie: “It wasn’t a bow….”
The bow was bad enough, but now we have this lie!
Why didn’t the BHO-administration source simply say something about “reaching out and respecting Muslims.” Because BHO didn’t show the same manifestation of respect to any other monarch or prime minister at the G-20 Summit. Therein lies the heart of the problem, IMO. BHO is INTENTIONALLY giving a Wahhabist Moslem preferential treatment. There are only so many reasons as to why BHO would do such a thing, none of them acceptable.
BTW, the Abdulaziz’s words inter-faith and inter-cultural dialogue are doublespeak for “Submit to the will of Allah and the supremacism of Islam.”
Ranando: I think you believe we’re not on the same page, but we are. Apparently my point wasn’t sufficiently clear. I wrote about the “bow” not in terms of the bow only — the main point was having the White House LIE about what happened. It IS what it is. Millions of people saw it. Then you LIE about something THAT obvious? The logical extension: if you’ll lie about something so seemingly small, then you can’t be counted on to tell the truth on much anything else!
BZ
Exactly as Leslie said, Excellent post, BZ!
Hardly know what else to add except: LIE-BER-ALS.
You hit the nail on the head!
Leslie, Exactly, why won’t they come out with it?
Why do they have to call in their crony media henchmen to soften us to the idea of socialism by their implicit articles.
Articles stating statistics on people without health insurance and how horrible that is and how the govt. is going to try to fix it without calling it socialism.
Why do they enact their henchmen to report on polls on how many Americans think socialism is good?
They are creating an underhanded argument for socialism via the media. Kind of getting the soil nice and ready for the full blown take over.
After all, they want to make sure that ‘civil unrest’ doesn’t get too out of hand.
I agree with Larry Durham by the way. We can’t take God out of the picture here. He is sovereign and there is a purpose in regard to how unbelievable it is that the left are literally following B.O. over the cliff.
BZ, Point taken.
If he did lie and it sure looks that way then Obama has joined the ranks of every other Politician before him.
He is now a true member of Government.
IMO, the bow is far worse than any lie. They all lie and that’s a fact.
Now since Rivka had brought God into the picture I would like to ask.
Why aren’t you and every other Born-Again rejoicing that Obama is our President. I would think that if this guy is bringing us closer to the end that you would be praising the Lord, thanking the Lord and dancing in the streets.
If you believe, really believe then you know that the World is going to fall apart in the end.
Wasn’t it Jesus who said, “My Kingdom is NOT of this World”?
Politics and what these World Leaders do should be of NO value to the true believer other then to let you know that it’s time to pack your bags.
Anonymous is me, I don’t know how that happen, sorry
BZ – in order to “OWN IT” they would have to understand two very difficult and complex ideas: accountability and responsibility. You know, what conservatives live and breathe every day.
Ranando: Just because we know who wins doesn’t mean we want to see the final curtain.
Ranando: Just because we know who wins doesn’t mean we want to see the final curtain.
Cary,
With all due respect this is where I get confused.
If you belive that Good wins over Evil, that this all is part of Gods plan then why would you not want to see the Final Curtain?
If true, then I say bring it on, the sooner the better IMO.
Personally for me this just proves what many have always suspected….
America has been lied to by this propped up puppet from the beginning…….why should we expect any different now?
Personally, Ranando?
A wife who loves me, an adorable two year old who is the joy of my life, and living in the Greatest Country in the World. I still have a desire to keep that country Free. In fact, since there was no expiration date on the Oath I took, I have a bound DUTY to keep this country free.
This does not mean that I am not looking forward to the time when I am in the Joy and Glory of the Lord forever, but I really want to enjoy this time of joy and happiness that I am experiencing now, mostly because my first marriage was not as joyful as this one, but also because I am a human being with faults and one of those faults is loving living.
Hope this helps you to understand where I am coming from.
Ranando, You asked for it! ;0)

Wasn’t it Jesus who said, “My Kingdom is NOT of this World”?
Politics and what these World Leaders do should be of NO value to the true believer other then to let you know that it’s time to pack your bags.
First of all, I didn’t say I think he is bringing us closer to the end. He could be, but EVERYTHING in history has been bringing us to that end.
By your logic, then we should just kill ourselves, we would be with Jesus face to face a lot faster. And since we are not of this world, then we need to not live in this world at all, not be involved in politics or even work at a job, which is furthest from what Jesus taught and would render his death, buriel and resurrection meaningless.
He said to be in this world, but not of it. That doesn’t mean to check out of politics or any other type of interest as long as it doesn’t become our god.
We are anxiously awaiting the return of Christ, but in the mean time we are told to persevere in the faith. Part of persevering is standing for what is right regardless of what field it is in. Politics, our families, our jobs, etc. We live in this nation too. This is our country as well and we want to see a leader with a solid moral core elected.
God made David a King- a politician.. A man after God’s heart. As a Christian you are an integral part of your society. We are in the world but not OF the world. We can bring a lot of good to this world as we have for so many years.
We know biblical principles work, we have seen them work and that is why we are the greatest nation on Earth. If the founding fathers who were Christians just separated themselves from politics as you suggested we should do, America would NOT be the great, free country we are now, since our foundation was based on biblical principles.
God wants us to enjoy this life here on Earth and part of that blessing is living in a free country.
Christians are concerned about Obama because we will eventually be living under a fascist government and the freedoms we have while we are here to raise our children and even share our faith are at stake. That is why we are concerned. The end times has nothing to do with it.
We aren’t pleased about having to live through what pain Obama will bring us during his rule. That doesn’t mean we aren’t looking forward to end times. Put it this way, I am not afraid of death, but afraid of the painful process of dying.
On the other side, we see Obama as an opportunity to be there for those who will be hurt by his government, both Christians and non-Christians.
God has been using every event in history toward the end times. This is just another piece in the puzzle. Even if McCain won, it would be another piece in the puzzle.
Rivka, I respectfully disagree with everything you wrote.
Great discussion, folks! THIS is what blogging is about!
BZ
Ranando,
I knew you would. That is o.k. we can agree to disagree. No problem. We do have one thing in common. We both love BZ’s blog! ;0)
Wow Rivka! Excellently said!
Rivka – well said.
Ranando – I respect your disagreement, but pray that you will one day accept that Jesus died on the cross for you, as well – we Christians don’t “hog” Jesus, it’s just that a lot of people don’t want us to share Him with them.
Cary,
Thanks so much for your concern but you don’t need to pray for me.
I’m just fine and have a great personal relationship with God, one of which I enjoy each and everyday.
Thanks for thinking of me.
