Obama Visits Saudi King After Curbing Oil Expansion
Investor's Business Dailt ^ | January 27, 2015 | IBD EDITORIALS

Posted on 01/27/2015 9:59:25 AM PST by raptor22

Energy: While taking credit for increased oil and gas production on private and state lands, the president moves to put 12 million acres of the oil-rich Arctic National Wildlife Refuge off limits. OPEC and the Saudis are smiling.

Whoever's in charge of presidential optics these days fits the classic definition of the blind leading the blind.

It's bad enough that President Obama doesn't have time to get to Paris for a global protest against terrorism after the Charlie Hebdo attack but can meet and greet the San Antonio Spurs.

But then he privately slams an invitation by Congress to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, our only true ally in a terror-stricken Middle East, with whom he has no time to speak, while he travels to Saudi Arabia to meet with new Saudi King Salman and extend our condolences on the death of King Abdullah.

All youtube clips I'VE found are 'reported' with an electronic voice ... NO ONE wants to be identified with 'reporting' this event

Holder was right ... we ARE a nation of cowards

They kill the free and the brave

No. They just don't care what we think, especially during the next two years. If we don't like something they do, tough. They know we can't do anything about it and have no representation in congress to halt them.

Bead and circuses keep the masses from arising. The “brave and the free” are too comfortable watching TV on their couch to do anything to protect their liberties. We are a nation in serious decline.

Obama goes to Saudi Arabia to “report for duty”.

” while he travels to Saudi Arabia to meet with new Saudi King Salman and extend our condolences on the death of King Abdullah.”

Saudi King to Obama: “ Why are you here? He despised you, and so do I ! “

Obama: “ No problem, the American media will make me out a great statesman”

Thank you raptor22!

My Initial Reaction was "Idiot!"

But then I realized, it's all "Part of the Plan"

The Saudi's would love ANWR and The North Dakota Shale off line.

They are a Threat to America

Our anti-American resident had to go pay homage to the phony “King”. Abdullah, the Muslim father who has had four of his daughters put under house arrest for years because they dared to want more freedom, such as driving a car. He honors a tyrant like Abdullah, while accusing Republicans of having a “war on women”. He is a disgrace.

You, the Saudis use OPEC to raise the price of oil so that fracking and oil shale become profitable then they dump cheap oil on the market to kill off the industries AFTER the money was spent on all the infrastructure here in the states...

Diabolical!

Obama’s going to try to shut down fracking and horizontal drilling with EPA regs.

Actually, I am say that the Alaskan and North Dakota Oil and Gas ARN'T "part of the plan".

So they need to be neutered and quickly, otherwise America will become dangerously close to being Energy Independent (Again) and won't be beholden to the powers at be anymore.
