So, Brian Williams appears to have bowed to Barack Obama. Or was it a head nod? Maybe he was looking at Obama's package? Whatever it was, Republicans are up in arms about it because they see it as another sign of the press's infatuation with Obama. Even the typically mild-mannered Meghan McCain twoot about the offending bow.Read the offended tweets and see the video after the jump.
McCainBloggette: interpret it as a bow or head nod, I just can't imagine a journalist doing that to a republican president maybe I'm wrong...
Maybe you are wrong, Meghan, but more likely, you're worried about something super-insignificant. Brian Williams probably does love Barack Obama. He probably has Obama pajamas. But no one ever assumed Brian Williams was going to break huge scandalous stories on Obama. His job is to hang out with the guy, joke around with him, call him Bromander and Chief.
Which isn't to say the press shouldn't be harder on Obama. But Williams' head nod (because that's all it was) isn't even close to the most offensive example of the Obama press love. What do you think of the alleged "bow"?

..no more than when they turned a blind eye to the Bush administration's abuse of power back in 2002.

I think that Williams was hoping to truly suck it up to the President and do a Lewinsky.

It's about time that people really look at the country's safety and analyze if they're safer with the currert Secretary of Defense, Vice President, President vs. their predecessors. Gates, Biden, Obama can't even compare to Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush in their focus of protecting the American people. What's wrong with you Democrats/Liberals/Socialists? Do you want the revolution to come from outside the U.S.?

It looked like a mutual head nod to me ... maybe some people are just looking for something to complain about

While I, too, have found plenty of legitimate reasons to critize Obama and the main-stream Media ever since the beginning of his Presidential Campaign and on up until the present time, . . This is one time I have to say, . . " G E T . A . L I F E " . .
My God, . . This was just two men saying a mutually respectful GOOD NIGHT !!! . . .
It's one thing to pick over real problems, . . And there are plenty of them, . . But this is PICKY BULL CRAP !!! . .
PLEASE, . . TRY TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT !!!
Your Country is being Taken Over by a TYRANT / DICTATOR and You're worried about a damned "HEAD NOD" . . SHEEESH !!!! . . .
NO WONDER AMERICA IS FALLING APART !!! . . . WE'VE TURNED INTO A NATION OF IGNORANT CHILDREN !!! . . .

Notice that after he bowed his head at the President, the PRESIDENT also bowed his head in a return respect.... WHATS THE BIG DEAL??? Stop hating on Obama. He deserves respect, he's a respectable man.
