So President Obama bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at the G20 summit.
SO?
Right-wing conservatives are freaking out over this one.
"Disgraceful. President Obama should be impeached on charges of TREASON! For bowing to a foreign leader. The Bastard.
Of course, when your middle name is Hussein and you will not release your original birth certificate, what else can one expect? Maybe he was paying homage to his REAL ethnic heritage?"

Or perhaps our President, a man is greatly respected by foreign countries, foreign leaders, and the people who elected him, thought he ought to show some respect by following the traditions of another country. After all, the US is actually not the center of the universe, despite what some conservatives may think.

This is exactly why I tune out a lot of the sniping after Obama makes any sort of gesture to the rest of the world. Although, I'm not all that surprised Political Byline, of which I've never heard before, took such a vile shot. Not surprised at all. Shame.
