So it turns out that <\/span>Egypt\u2019s official state run newspaper altered a photo of President Obama <\/span><\/a>to make it appear he was walking behind Egyptian President Hosni<\/span> Mubarak at the Middle East Peace Talks. Funny about how when right wingers fussed about how low President Obama bowed or in what way President Obama genuflected or groveled or begged or whatever, most in the MSM<\/span> sneered and said such criticisms were stupid since most countries in the world no longer care about such nitpicky<\/span> things. Nice to see commentators continually getting it wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
