Simple Protocol - Who's Arrogant?

Imagine the uproar if President and Mrs. Bush had done the following:

1. Given the queen an iPod.
2. Mrs. Bush did not curtsy before the Queen.
3. Mrs. Bush had put her arm around the Queen's shoulder.
4. President Bush shook hands with the First lady in France and did not exchange the double cheek kiss.

Are any of these things truly meaningful, absolutely!

The Bushes would have been accused exhibiting the arrogance of America and ignoring the customs of the Europeans. Again, I agree with the Europeans on this one. You know, agreeing with the Europeans is a bit troubling for me since this attitude signifies disagreeing with our own government. Not good.

Someone in The White House has the job of communicating protocol to the President. It is probably the only job they have. Guess what? They ain't doin' it.

Again, the Lefties have given a pass to His Majesty, The President.
