How does everyone on here feel about it? I know the White House claims that he didn't bow but watching the video I just can't see any other explanation for it.

The bow itself doesn't offend me nearly as much as the White House blatantly lying about it and saying that he was bending down to shake the hand of someone shorter. Either he was shaking the left hand of a midget who is invisible in the video while simultaneously shaking the right hand of the Saudi King or we were all lied to.
I simply don't understand why the White House has lied about this and two days ago angrily dismissed a reporter's question about it. Bowing to a foreign dignitary violates State Department protocol but I don't think that's serious enough to lie about.
