White House denies the bow to Saudi king by Obama
Wednesday, April 8, 2009So you probably have seen the latest video of Obama bowing to the Saudi king Abdullah, if you have not seen the video, I have included the video in this post. Clearly we can see Obama bowing to the Saudi king, when greeting him. Obama has showed a lot of weaknesses in the G20 summit. He has apologized on the behalf of USA, referring us as "arrogant". This weakens Obama and the US in front of all the G20 countries. Now after those comments, the G20 nations can freely say and blame the global economic crises on USA, just like after WWI, the allies teamed up and blamed Germany.
Some people argue that Obama's bowing is just a show of respect to the Saudi king. They also argue we must respect the Saudi king because we depend on their oil.
BOTTOM LINE:
The bottom line is Obama bowed to the Saudi king and it weakened Obama and the USA in front of Saudi Arabia. Now we are strongly dependant on Saudi oil, that means they are strongly dependant on our consumption of their oil. Even if Obama slapped king Abdullah on his face, we would still receive oil from them. Like the words from the movie Godfather "It's not personal, it's strictly business".
