Conservatives in the United States have been creating fuss on whether Obama bowed to Saudi King Abdullah. They are not letting any opportunity pass by their hands to humiliate President Obama. Probably many Americans were still not ready for a black President. Why then would they try to malign him in such derogatory ways. Look at Fox News, for instance, they have tried their level best to link Obama to terrorists, put doubts in people's minds about his religious background and tried to make him look like a liar time and again. Is this the way you treat you President who has hardly spent 100 days in office?
Why does it matter in the first place whether Obama bowed to the Saudi King? Don't the international dignitaries bow in front of the Japanese just to show them that they respect their culture. Don't heads of states bow and kiss the hand of the British Queen as a mark of respect? Why then is it so strange to these "self-respecting" Americans if Obama bowed to the Saudi king? The reason seems to be racial motivation on three counts. First its an attack on the first black President on United States as everyone has not accepted him. Second its superiority complex connected to the President of a "super power" bowing to the king of a "lesser" state. Third, its the bias against the Muslims and specifically Arabs that is being vent out indirectly specially by the right wing American media.
One should not forget that the same arrogance is the reason why the United States is finding itself in a declining position in the world today. The globe will not remain a unipolar world for long. President Obama has done the right thing by accepting past American mistakes. And as far as bowing is concerned, why does anyone not talk about the American government's bowing down to the Israeli government for the past 50 years? Why does the American government put the interests of Israel over those of the American people themselves. Who controls America and when would the American people get out of the slavery imposed on them by Israeli lobbyists and bankers for so long?
