Barack Obama bowed to the Indian Parliament yesterday after his speech.
Maybe it was written on his TelePrompter?

good grief GP, i think you’re obsessed..
sorry, but of all things to go on about, that was, imho, not a bow, if anything it was a thank you nod.. of which i might add, was apparently in reciprocation for the “bows” /s/ he received from the parliament..

Whatever he’s doing…I need me a set of those walking-around kleenex dispensers.

He seems to be using a common greeting in India, called Namaste.

Not as bad as the Saudi bow.

Why shouldn’t a community organizer not bow to his betters?
Corn Pone Junior commented:
Oh-bow-mao was born to be a groveler ashamed of us. When and where he was born is still in question. OH-BOW-MAO!!!
Auntie Em commented:
What in the heck is that on those people’s heads?
I want to know who came up with that ‘great’ idea and what in the heck are they trying to prove?

Yeah, without even watching the video, I’m willing to give him a pass on this one, as it seems he is just going by local customs and being polite.
Now, had he bowed when he first met the leader of India, that would be different.
That said, if people want to criticize him for this, I don’t blame them. Obama opened himself up for this criticism with all his ridiculous bowing and apologizing since he took office.
Retro commented:
the sob has no shame
Joe Redfield commented:
He was just channeling Johnny Carson. The real bowing won’t come until he meets the Chinese.
patman commented:
Not on this one boys…
Still despise the jerk…
gumble commented:
This post is unfair. There wasn’t really a bow and he was just giving a respectful Indian gesture to an Indian audience. Come on GP, don’t make us defend Obama with unfair attacks. There are so many more legitimate things to point out Obama. Stick with those. Thanks.

What a tough crowd!
Here we have a group of people who oppose BO’s policies, and who also are unwilling to condemn his actions unless they can actually see for themselves that he has done something wrong.
It’s a good day.

Wasn’t that the DHS Sebelius’ acceptable cough cover?
jimbo commented:
I can’t stand the man, but I don’t see this as being anywhere near as big a suck-up bow as he made to the Saudis. I actually think it was a nice gesture to his Indian hosts.
Chippy commented:
He seems to be gaining back his messiah like adulation overseas. My god! This is like your little daughter getting spoiled at her rich grandparents house for two weeks. He will have to come back down to reality.
Ron commented:
even if its not true, lets post a video and claim it is. Get real people

Jorgen #10…
Well, I do know what a turban is. That does not look like a turban. That looks like what sticks out of a Kleenex box.
I find it absurd and totally disrespectful of a turban.
lethargic commented:
Well, the kleenex-heads appear to be some sort of honor guard … really, it’s no worse than the fruity uniforms of the Swiss Guard … which I love, btw, just sayin’
Margaret commented:
That is not a bow. Let’s not sweat this small stuff. I do this every day in my yoga class.
Chris M-G commented:
Again. This was more evident as a cultural greeting vs. a careless slave-master greeting that he is more known for. You’re usually on the ball but this is picking at straws.

think they may be a version of a few
of these “taller” “pointier” models..
Headgear from Indian Continent
they also resemble the [Khan Sahib Shahal Khan Khoso wearing Pagri of Muslim landed aristrocray of South Asia] in jorgen #10 link (ooh, thought Khan was a no no..
)..

Auntie Em #21, it is a Muslim turban – a good example of one out the many excelent things Muslims according to Obama have invented. It is racism not to like this turban.
John Pinion commented:
Reporting his acknowledgment to India’ parliment is not a bow. By calling this action a bow it greatly takes away from the justified critizisim of his real bows. Let keep your critizisms focused and credible.
