OMG OMG OBAMA BOWED TO THE SAUDI KING OMG OMG!!!!

Bush, of course, used to hold the Saudi king's hand. And Cheney bent his neck deferentially as the Saudi king gave him a medal in 2008.

None of that upset the right -- but Obama's bow does.

I'll remind my right-wing friends that, bow or no bow, Obama's the only guy we've had in the executive branch in more than a generation who sincerely wants to break the Saudis' onerous service contract, which covers our entire economy.

Too bad the politicians most admired by the right are doing their level best to prevent him from achieving that goal.
