NBC’s Brokaw: Saudis ‘So Unhappy' With Obama They Sent Emissaries to China, Russia Seeking Enhanced Ties Wednesday, April 06, 2011 By Susan Jones

(CNSNews.com) – Reporting from Baghdad, Iraq yesterday, NBC’s Tom Brokaw said the Saudi Arabian monarchy is “so unhappy with the Obama administration for the way it pushed out President Mubarak of Egypt” that it has sent senior officials to the Peoples' Republic of China and Russia to seek expanded business opportunities with those countries.

After remarking on the difficulty of establishing democracy in the Middle East, Brokaw said that Defense Secretary Robert Gates “will face some tough questions in this region about the American intentions going on now with all this new turmoil, especially in an area where the United States has such big stakes politically and economically.”

“And a lot of those questions presumably will come from King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia,” reported Brokaw on the Nightly News. “I was told on the way in here that the Saudis are so unhappy with the Obama administration for the way it pushed out President Mubarak of Egypt that it sent high level emissaries to China and Russia to tell those two countries that Saudi Arabia now is prepared to do more business with them.”

Nice going, O.

He must have been a crackerjack community organizer.

I think he’s got rocks in his head.

Obama seems to be in the with the Shia far more than Sunni, like the house of Saud.

But, it could be that the Saudis are simply businessmen.

Obama’s alliance with al quada (Sunni) in Libya certainly has to have mad them nervous -— he always aligns himself with the most radical muslims, be it Sunni or Shia.

There are only two answers to this.

1. He’s completely stupid, ignorant and naive.

2. He’s a Manchurian Candidate with evil intentions to destroy this country.

People all over the world are sharing the love that “Dear Leader” has for them. He is correcting for all the hate and damage that Bush spread. He is just so awesome.

Yeah, China will buy much of the oil from the Saudis. And oil investors here will get richer.

Barry “the Socialist Muslim” Sotero is driving longtime allies to the Communists. His world plan is working.

Don't believe Brokaw for a second.

Remember, O'Bama bowed to the Saudis. Literally.

Obama thinks all change is good, even if it causes chaos.

He definitely bowed to the Saudis, the people who probably paid for his time at Harvard law school. However, he does have this little habit of throwing people under the bus, including the Rev. Wright, Quaddafi, his white grandmother, who almost definintely forged his Certificate of Live
Birth, and many others. He does this all in the service of his own evil, anti-American Islamofascist/Marxist ideology. Early this year he and his handlers deciceed it was time to set fire to the Mideast, destroying every regime that was even partly pro-Ameican to replace each with a virulently anti-American Islamofascist/Marxist regime. The Saudis saw this and hit back. More power to them.

Obama is so clueless, he needs to be impeached and tried for treason.
