It's official. It wasn't a bow. Really? You sure?

In a complete refutation against reality, the White House has issued, in Obi Wan Kenobi like fashion that The President of the United States or POTUS did not bow to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, but actually bent over because the King of the House of Saud is shorter than our illustrious leader.

To wit, from the Politico, an anonymous Obama insider is quoted as saying:

"It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah."

Here. You be the judge. The money shot is at 0:53.

Really? Are you sure? I mean, did this anonymous insider look at the body posture of the POTUS when he made his non-bow? You don't stick your leg out behind you when you just want to bend over and talk to a shorter dictator, do you? Look, you an clearly see that it's a bow. His body posture is clear. His thrust out right leg is very clear. Whether he intended to do it or not as a sign of courtesy or not, the message to the rest of the world is clear. Muslims are going to use this throughout their media outlets as a sign of American supplication and prostration to Islam. The fringe kooks are going to make the claim that Mr. Barely is a stealth muslim. This was a stupid thing to do. Actually, it was an incompetent thing to do.

This type of excuse just reminds me of Obi Wan Kenobi's Jedi Mind Trick in Star Wars. In all seriousness. Who do these people think they are? It's a bow, ok? Just admit it and move on. But oh no, you can't do that anonymous source person. You've just fanned the flames of Mr. Barely bowing to a King and a viscious dictator of a malformed Islamic state into the oncoming news cycles instead of letting die.

Whoever you are, anonymous source, you should be fired for your stupidity and apparent incompetence. But is that asking to much? Afterall, it seems that incompetence runs rampant in this administration. Fumbling, stumbling, prostrating, apologizing, and bowing. All in less than 100 days. And the caravan rolls on. Dear God.
