>>My point is the WH cover up is foolish.<<

Jeff -

I agreed with that point already. But the stink being made about is is vastly overblown. This is a very minor mistake. It's not as if Obama took our nation to war with a country that posed virtually no threat to us, claiming that they had massive stockpiles of dangerous weapons, etc.

He just bowed when he shouldn't have, because protocol doesn't require him to bow to the Saudi King. Then the WH Press Office tried to save him from embarrassment by issuing a denial. I can understand why they would do that. It's not a big deal.

My point is the WH cover up is foolish.

I read this stuff about the bow and about the telepromter and I just can't believe anyone cares.

Lets see the Obama sins a teleprompter and a weird bow - the Bush sins two wars in their seventh year and a spiraling economy in tatters. Good gosh.........do you have any idea how silly it sounds complaining about a bow?

I agree.

Spin is repugnant from either side.

And basically honest people are really bad at it.
