No, you see, the story from the White House goes, he is such a towering giant that he had to bend down to shake hands with the King of Saudi Arabia. Which is fine, except that tall people just put their hands down and the shorty they're shaking hands with can reach up a little. Also the President and the King were close enough together and close enough to the same height to make this excuse preposterous on its face.
Oh yeah, and if you look close, you will notice something about the two-handed handshake line:
Hmm?
As the first line of Laura Ingraham's "Power to the People" says: "They think you're stupid."

I mentioned this unpleasant (to everyone but the French President, from the look on his face in the first photo) business to one of the guys at work, and he said the official response should be "oh, he was just looking for his contact lens."
I came up with a better one. "The President saw a reflection, in the King's shoe, of his TelePrompTer, and he was trying to get a closer look to see what he should say to the King."
********
Come on people, this isn't Chicago and problems don't just go away if you FRIKKEN LIE TO THE PEOPLE about them! There were VIDEO CAMERAS THERE! Duh? How hard would it be to come right out and say "The President got a little excited about meeting the King and forgot that America is a badass country and he shouldn't be bowing to anybody."
But then that would make the One out to have done something wrong, which of course is unpossible.
