This picture is worth a thousand words.
So let me see if I understand American protocol in the age of Obama: The First Lady hugs Queen Elizabeth as if she’s some granny at a seniors’ center photo-op, but the President of this republic prostrates himself before King Abdullah as if he’s a subject of the Saudi pseudo-Crown.
This is a very weird presidency. But something tells me Abdullah won’t be getting the discount DVD pack of Psycho and Lawrence Of Arabia.
