Thanks to Gateway Pundit for the story and inspiration for the video. A little fun at Obama’s expense:
Interesting side-note: The other guy is President Abdullah Gül of Turkey. I met with him last year. Yeah, I’m cool.
You know, there are a million pointy sticks to be had here. I can’t find the link, but I saw one blog this morning sardonically inquire as to the implication of jumping at gunfire because he’s in a Muslim country. Would leftblogs cry racism? Ouch. Still, you have admit it has a lot of humor potential … as has this whole trip actually. From his awkwardness with Queen Elizabeth, to his awkwardness with Carla Bruni, to his bowing obsequiously (not to mention awkwardly) to King Abdullah, if Obama’s trip has done nothing for the American image abroad or to bolster foreign policy, at least we can say this: he’s produced material for a million youtube videos to come. So that’s something, right?
The first sound was no bass drum, and I can assume nobody warned him that they would fire a ceremonial volley. Not unusual for weenies and Harvard grads to be startled by loud bangs, or principled disagreement.
Not like they run into many of either in the circles they run in.
