Ellen, perhaps if you knew as much as the group at NQ knows about how Obama was selected for the nomination a couple of years before the 2008 election season; how the DNC and Dem leadership making that decision because they were determined to win any way they could and Hillary was NOT their choice – they could not run things with Hillary; they can with 0bama, at least for a while. That’s the reason they turned their backs and a deaf ear to the caucus fraud, the fraudulent fundraising that broke all records and was done by a company chosen (selected) by Pelosi in her district. All the race baiting headed up by Jesse Jackson Jr; all the disloyal former Clinton WH people. And, oh, yes, the maniac media that disgraced journalism.

Oh, and Btw, if you stick around long enough you will see this group does not need lecturing by the likes of you. Now, go do your homework!

I was moderately moved by your blog “why the bow matters,” and emailed Professor Juan Cole to ask what he thought the effect of “the bow” would be, taking forgranted that Obama had bowed. This is what he said: “He was doing a double-handed handshake. That isn’t kow-towing, and wouldn’t be allowed with European royalty.” Now, Dr. Cole is open about his admiration for Barack Obama so his opinion may be questioned (“when we believe something, everything we see validates that belief”) but You disdain Obama, so the same quotation applies. I believe, in this case, I’ll accept Cole’s position. I’m back to my original place. It isn’t worth all the words you have put into it, Larry…and don’t turn your famous temper loose on ME. I can cuss just as well, probably better, than you can. That is MY perspective. You are, of course, intitled to your own. Besides, *I* am the guest here.
You are gonna be buying dinner, and just maybe with enthusiasm.

How often do you watch FOX? What is your very fav show? Go watch Olbermann for a while where you’ll find an open mind. Or Chris Tingle.

You watch FOX news a lot, do you Ellen? The real problem is you don’t see anything as an issue for Obama. His vote on FISA? Nothing! Expanding the power of the office? Nada! Not accepting public financing? Forget about it! Leaving 50,000 soldiers in Iraq? No problemo! Bowing to a decadent monarch? A distraction. Insulting the monarch of another country by not respecting their protocol? Don’t see anything wrong with that, do you?

I was offended that Michelle got a pass on getting too chummy with the Queen. Isn’t that a capital offense? Had anyone else done it, they’d be looking for a good barrister.

Or in another century, their head on a platter.

If you can believe it, Kirsten Powers was more of a Hillary supporter during the primaries than Obama. But I suppose if you want to continuing working in that capacity, you’ve got to change your stipes.

Kirsten is an example of being authoritarian and it working for you. She is counting on belittling those of us who saw this extreme deference by 0 toward the King, and we will finally be shamed into silence and her argument, the lean, wins. The only problem with that is my defiant nature won’t allow me to do that.

I saw this show and was disgusted that Kirsten was so flippantly defiant that no way was 0 bowing. Frankly, when I first saw the clip of the bow, I thought he went down on one knee he went so low.

Yes, Kirsten Powers is a regular on Fox who is a young, no-non-sense, rarely smiling type that has even belittled Carl Rove (in front of him). She was an outspoken Hillary supporter until after the primaries. Then, as a dem strategist, obviously jumped on the 0 train. I frankly have never seen her seem embarrassed about defending him. To her credit, she has defended Sarah Palin on a regular basis. But sometimes her holier-than-thou attitude is hard to take.

Shut up troll. Your chance to rail against sexism was a year ago and you were nowhere to be found.

And your master is a fraud, in case you weren’t aware.

Yes quite sexist all, the post and some comments but can you see the sexism NOW Ellen? And did you see the sexism during the last primary? Sure not.

No, it’s not sexist to call a moron a moron, whether they be a chick or a dude. And believe me, our mainstream media is full of them.

I’ve been over the bow for a while. It was a protocol gaffe, pure and simple. Two hundred years of American protocol says that an American president should bow to no one, but if Obama wants to bow and scrape before the corrupt King of Saudi Arabia, then so be it.

What keeps this story alive is the Obama team’s reaction to it. I mean, seriously: how disingenuous and arrogant is it to deny that the bow took place?

Moron chicks??? a bit sexist, no? only on fox news do you get this pathetic – because the station spins and turns everything to go against Obama. Its really quite simple – no history revision, just fox playing with the facts and presentation.

Are you being serious or facetious about Lanny Davis?

Actually, Powers was a Hillary supporter all the way – until Obama got the nomination. she is the only democrat, along with Bob Beckel, allowed on Fox and often substituted when Allen Colmes was off (prior to his leaving the Hannity show). But, as every single Democrat to ever grace the Fox News stage, she is bullied and shut down every time she opens her mouth. this video had more of her at one time than I have ever seen.

So Gibbs tried to get away with brushing off the bow, as did others. Could it be that he did bow, thinking it was not subservient? I lived in Asia for many years and bowing is as natural as shaking hands – i continue to nod my head when acknowledging someone, sort of a 1/4 bow(?!!)

I certainly did not think much of it when I saw the video of the bow. seeing Michelle with the Queen did not register much on my radar either. I guess that’s because I simply do not look for or dwell on these things – even if the MSM and Obama haters keep talking about them.

This is important how?? do you really feel embarrassed over what the President did? Come on, lets put this in perspective here – its only an issue because of your hatred for Obama – if this had been someone else you would not be giving it a second thought.
