- His apology tour around the world at the beginning of his administration, telling everyone "just how sorry" America is for our "misbehavior." I might add that this included bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia. The President of the United States has never bowed to anyone before this.
- He has pushed for the creation of a Palestinian state. Clearly, this is the most anti-Israeli move any President has ever made.
- From the bottom his heart:
He gave some fantastic "gifts" to the Queen of England (an iPod) and her prime minister (a stack of 25 DVDs that only work in Zone 1, which is the United States and Canada), when the Queen and Gordon Brown each took time to present something meaningful, the queen giving an autographed photo of her and the Duke of Edinburgh, and in the prime minister's case, quite historic, when he presented the President with a pen madefrom the anti-slave ship HMS Gannet.
I fail to understand this, because the United Kingdom has long been our best friend and closest ally; in all of our difficulties and foreign problems they have been at our side, backing us and defending us, even if it strained their relations with other countries. And this is how he said, "Thanks England. You're the best."
We all saw the real message here: "England, we're going to rely on the middle eastern countries and pansy-a** places like France for our friends now. You can take your democracy and our friendship and shove it."
Okay, I love the ipod one. I thought that was ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteHowever, other presidents have bowed before he ever did.
