Anybody but me notice that since Obama was elected he has tried his hardest to make America look like the weakest country on earth that deserves none of it's greatness? Whether it's sending love letters or please don't hate me videos to Iran, or ANNOUNCING ahead of time that there is NOTHING we will do about North Korea launching a missile, or apologizing to all of the G20 for, well, everything, it's been disgusting. The worst though might have been him BOWING to the Saudi King. I'm reminded of an incident at the opening ceremony for the 1908 Olympics, at which a man named Martin Sheridan was to be the American flag bearer. Martin Sheridan was a Patrolman with the New York City Police Dept at the time. It was felt that with his strong Irish feelings, Patrolman Sheridan would not show proper respect to the King of England during the “Parade of Nations.”Protocol of the day was to dip a country’s flag as it passed the royal review stand. Irish American Ralph Rose was selected as his replacement. It is said that another Irish American named Matthew McGrath then told Ralph Rose “dip that flag and you’ll be in a hospital tonight.” Needless to say, the flag was not dipped which caused an international incident. During a news conference Martin Sheridan spoke for the entire Olympic team and said “this flag dips for no earthly king” as he pointed at the Stars and Stripes. This is still done today. Unless you are Barack Obama, then you just dip yourself.
PATHETIC
WHICH AMERICA DO YOU WANT? THAT GREAT AMERICA OF IRISH IMMIGRANT MARTIN SHERIDAN OR THAT OF OBAMA? I OPT FOR THE FORMER.
UPDATE FROM "THE MESSIAH SAYS IT IS SO" DEPARTMENT: The White House is denying that the president bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London, a scene that drew criticism on the right and praise from some Arab outlets.
"It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah," said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
