No. That’s why he’s reaching.

And there we have it.

J.G.Thayer’s clear admission of defeat on all points. He’s just here to attack Obama with some veiled gay slur.

Tacky and inappropriate in Bush’s case, but NOT subservient.

I swear, if Obama had bowed just a degree or two lower, the King coulda teabagged him…

J.

So what is the full-on mouth kiss and strolling through the p[ark hand-in-hand?

Genuinely curious.

Crusty Dem: “I’ve said it before, JT, humor is not your forte. Stick with your strength, relentless changing the topic to avoid the obvious holes in your argument. It’s the best you’ve got.”

Don’t forget running away like a coward when his talking points fall apart. I have a funny feeling that’s going to happen here.

Thank you for admitting defeat on all points I brought up.

1.) You whining about Obama is pure partisan bullshit, as you did not do the same with Bush.

2.) You are concentrating on the superficial to avoid the substantive points. Whining about Obama bowing while ignoring policy change.

3.) Your claims that you attacked Bush for his policies towars Saudi Arabia are without foundation.

4.) You attacking me over my accusations of racism has nothing to so with me seeing racism everywhere, but with you defending real racism within the GOP.

Thank you for those clear admissions.

I’ve said it before, JT, humor is not your forte. Stick with your strength, relentless changing the topic to avoid the obvious holes in your argument. It’s the best you’ve got.

But please, continue and try to distract us from the fact that Republican congressmen worship Limbaugh.

I really hope you don’t think you were being witty here.

“1) The greetings you cited are those usually exchanged between equals. The bowing is the act of a supplicant, or at least an inferior acknowledging superiority.”

It’s a sign of respect to the title. Nothing more.

“B) I have long been unhappy with the way our government…”

Unhappy? Did it make you unhappy enough to do something?

And this still doesn’t address the main issue. You are hung up on greeting and are not interested in the substance of Obama’s policy.

“III) If the words ‘fuck’ and ‘racist’ were ever to vanish, you’d find yourself with almost nothing to say. And that would be a tremendous improvement.”

Style over substance with regards to fuck.
As for ‘racist’… If you don’t want me to call you racist, don’t be fucking racist.

When they guy had the picture of watermelons on the White House lawn, you complained when I mentioned the Southern Strategy, even though you admitted the picture was racist. So this isn’t about racism, it’s about you defending racism within the GOP.

1) The greetings you cited are those usually exchanged between equals. The bowing is the act of a supplicant, or at least an inferior acknowledging superiority.

B) I have long been unhappy with the way our government — regardless of administration — has treated the Saudi oil ticks. Their way of dealing with internal turmoil — telling the troublemakers “here’s some money, go bother someone else” has had the net result of simply exporting terrorism. In essence, they have treated the rest of the world as their open sewer pipe, and routinely flush it with cash. And because they sit on top of so much oil, we take their crap — in several sense of the word. It’s one of the many reasons I supported the very limited opening up of offshore drilling, ANWR, and research into shale.

III) If the words “fuck” and “racist” were ever to vanish, you’d find yourself with almost nothing to say. And that would be a tremendous improvement.

Parthenon: “I find it hard to believe you did in the first place. That’s just crazy.”

I liked Bush Sr.

I find it hard to believe you did in the first place. That’s just crazy.

J.G.Thayer: “Oliver, I guess you missed the deep, almost reverent bow President Obama gave to King Abdullah. Here’s a video clip…”

And did you complain when Bush kissed the Saudi King and held his hand?

If not, go fuck yourself.

Fucking hypocrite.

Hell, Bush not only kissed the King’s cheek literally, he kissed his ass figuratively. I’ll judge Obama’s performance not by what he does as part of standard cultural greeting, but how tough he gets behind closed doors.

Then again, I judge people based on the goals they set and their ability to get them done. Not whether or not they have an R or a D after their name. That’s why I stopped supporting the Republicans in the first place.

“Who gives a shit what he says? He’s a loser.”

“reverent” Oh, please. I know it’s Obama and therefore EVERYthing he does is further demonstration of his sheer incompetence. I mean, the guy gave the Queen of England a gift she specifically asked for, right? What a tool!

Sheesh! Next thing you know he’ll be walking hand-in-hand with the guy.
