Obama's Foreign Protocol Gaffes

Barack Hussien Obama is either very naive or very sly with regards to his personal conduct overseas last week. First of all he presents Queen Elizabeth of England a paltry I-Pod with a few broadway musical themes and a video of her 2007 visit to Virginia and D.C., sans George W. Bush, Then he bows to the Saudi King Abdullah last week during the G20 talks in London. What sticks in my mind though is why Obama only bowed to a Royal Head of State from an Islamic country, he didn't bow to the Queen of England, or any of the other royalty he met on the trip, just the Saudi King, hummm....very interesting! Obama passed off his error in judgement when questioned later while in Strasbourg, France, by saying, "We have to change our behavior in showing the Muslim world greater respect."
 
No American is required to bow to any countries royalty, and it is rejected in our U.S. Constitution. Article I Section 9 of the Constitution forbids titles of nobility and stipulates that no officeholder or government employee may "accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state" without the consent of Congress. But then what can we expect from this Character? Isn't he the same guy who gave England's Prime Minister 25 DVD's in February? All the while accepting gifts of a Desk Pen set made from the deck of an old English Warship and other gifts for the entire Obama family? This then is what will be representing us for the next four years? Please give me a break!!!
