Is Ludicrous. You do not have to bend over at all to shake the hand of someone that is one foot shorter than you. I just think Obama was being polite and respectful to the King and to his Muslim past. However no American president should bow to any mortal. “Obama is about a foot taller than Abdullah, and so had to kind of contort himself to get into any sort of position to shake the sheikh’s hand.” Is Ludicrous.
