Can anyone give us a understanding of exactly why they are not coming, country by country?

I can’t see past my own snub of the One.

The last time the White House denied that something was a snub was when Obama refused to join the leaders of the free world for a solidarity march in Paris after the Charlie Hebdo murders.

But even though Obama himself didn’t consider his snub an actual snub, many others did, and he was criticized for his absence to the point that John Kerry thought it was necessary to apologize to the French president by turning up with James Taylor in tow to embarrass the U.S. with a rendition of ‘’You’ve Got a Friend.’’

It’s very doubtful that the King of Saudi Arabia cares enough about the sensibilities of our current president to bother apologizing for blowing off his Arab summit meeting here. In fact, the King is busy trying to restore the legitimate leader of Yemen to power after Obama failed in his efforts to keep that country from being overrun by ISIS.

How long will it be before John Kerry realizes he needs to ingratiate himself with the Saudis before they lower the price of oil to the point where U.S. oil companies are flooding the bankruptcy courts?
