Obama Unbowed

We saw President Obama shake hands with a lot of short people in Mexico and at the Summit of the Americas. Not once did we see the bow-like, waist-high bend of the patented Obama short-person handshake.

Short Shakes
by Asher Embry
 

We saw Obama bow before the King with our own eyes.
The White House gave a lame excuse which clearly no one buys.
The essence, after several tries; their laughable retort:
Obama had to do it ‘cause Abdullah was so short.

And so we watched quite carefully Barack in Mexico.
We studied with precision just how low his head would go. 
Felipe Calderon is really brave but hardly tall.
Obama met el Presidente with no bow at all.

In Trinidad all weekend long the same result held true.
With scads of compact leaders, not a bow appeared in view.
(By that we mean the bow itself, specifically that act;
Of course, verbal prostrations, Barack’s speeches never lacked.)

He’s caught up in this silly lie, he now must disavow.
The lesson learned from Nixon: it’s the cover-up, not the bow.

The Queen of England is 5' 2"--didn't see any Obama bowing there, either. He saved it special for the Saudi King.

"America, he's keen to blame,
Yet Europe still behaves the same.
It’s clear those really are his views,
As learned in Jeremiah’s pews."

I like that. Can I add?

Not only keen to blame,
But seeking to make lame.
No exception, are we here
To ever worry, to ever fear.

We will not recall,
How Europe fell,
How we answered the bloody call,
Knell by knell.

We will remain chaste,
And presidentially chastized.
We’ll just count our dead,
With pride of place,
Swallowing offended taste,
Post haste.

So you guys have just become sort of pathetic now, is that it?

Angel| 4.19.09 @ 11:08PM

Nope.

Thin-skinned liberal. Redundant term.

Great job, Mr. Embry. No one in America but an Obamamaniac (or a mainstream media reporter, but that's redundant) could have possibly bought into that lame excuse -- and now, as you've so brilliantly illustrated -- it was a lie all along.

LRS| 4.20.09 @ 8:09AM

Just Perfect (and very funny)!! The non-bow seen 'round the world . . . I love it!

Tim| 4.20.09 @ 9:33AM

The bow was pathetic, perhaps an unconscious gesture reflecting his need for a father figure? Of course this is no worse than President Bush sword dancing with them. That sword symbolizes us all getting beheaded or forcibly converted, btw.
Saudi Arabia is a dark and dangerous tyranny that funds jihad all over the world and they have bought into our government, big time. It's not right or left, Republican or Democrat-OPEN YOUR EYES!
