Michelle Obama Is Not Amused While Meeting New King of Saudi Arabia: Photos
US Weekly - Yahoo ^ | 1/28 | US Weekly via Yahoo

Talk about a fierce frown from FLOTUS! Michelle Obama's disapproving expression while meeting the new leader of Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, Jan. 27, said it all -- and it's gone viral.

The First Lady, 51, was snapped alongside her husband Barack Obama in Riyadh, paying respects to King Salman bin Abdulaziz, the successor of the late King Abdullah, during what was a quick stop in the country for the funeral. As King Salman shook hands with the President, the First Lady was photographed frowning at the royal.

At times, she looked rather uncomfortable and annoyed, even, as she and her husband met with Saudi officials.

You make an excellent point regarding the appropriateness of the colors she chose to wear. For a funeral, something a good bit less colorful would have been much better.

I was just happy to see her refusing to wear some lame head covering in order to appease the muslim lunatics. By no means did I intend to imply that I might be supporting her in some leftist “statement in support of women”. I would hope that ANY American woman would act as she did regarding head coverings, veils, etc.

As for her angry expression? It appears that is her normal look.

Agree.
regardless of their backward laws she is the first lady and should respect their traditions and culture, and not to go and act like a brat to them.

This is the first time I’ve ever approved of anything she’s done. She also looks like she didn’t comb her hair for the occasion.

You are right Queen Elizabeth is real Royal but my point was these two Obamas think everyone is beneath them and are still under the impression they are as popular as they first were before the people found out what trashy crooks they are.This woman is such a embarrassment to Washington... she needs to be kept away from the leaders of other countries.

Look what her idiot husband has done to our only friends and their leader ignored him when he first came to the white house and shows he hates BiBi and only because he is Jewish..but will bow to the murdering fools..He has never fooled me he is there to destroy this country and that sick wife of his is helping..Now Obama says he will get even with BiBi for excepting the REPUBLICAN CONGRESS invitation to speak..

THE DAY WILL COME THOSE TWO WILL BE GONE I JUST HOPE IT WON’T BE TO LATE FOR US..

Regardless of how we feel about them the fact is that she is the first lady going to another country and should show respect for their culture just as we want people to come here and show respect.

It was another classless moment by her and the media will defend her again

There is ALWAYS a need to stick a thumb in Saudi Arabia’s eye.

Not that I care but what is the appropriate color for mourning in Saudi Land? In India, it’s pink, I’ve heard. (Pink is their navy blue!)

Yes she has wore a head scarf before but she did not here and it shows me she is a brat and classless for doing this.

The world does not evolve around her.

First thing the Wook has done in the last 6 years (at least) that I actually agree with.

(Even an Obama can be right -- once every 6 years????)

(Tho if I were dragged there, I would have thought that vomiting on 'em, à la George Bush, would have conveyed more of my sentiments.)

Agreed.

I really have no problem with her saying ‘ Yeah..I don’t think so ‘ with the covered head nonsense.

I don’t know...I just have a hard time with the idea of me giving a curtsy to anyone. I would not expect anyone to curtsy me. If we curtsied each other, that would be ok.

Funny. On another subject. I worked in prison one time in past and an inmate refused to shake my hand because I was female. He was Muslim and the man that was with me got so mad because of that. All this occurred before 911, before I knew any thing about Islam.

I have a different theory. I think Moochell wanted to wear the scarf. She/he wants to be accepted as a Muslim wife. But the Saudis probably know that s/he is not... err... qualified to wear the female head gear.

Disagree. I remember my rage whenever that fat former first lady would don her veils to kiss Arafat’s “wife.” No veils for American women.

If you want to talk about her bad behavior with Queen Elizabeth, that’s another story.

I do not like the Obamas one bit, but on this subject, Mrs. Obama's critics can go fornicate themselves.

I agree completely. If I was there, the evil Saudi rulers could expect more than a frown.

If you don’t respect your hosts customs, don’t get b*tchy when they ignore you.

She wanted attention and she got it. Just wasn’t the attention she was looking for.

American women have had problems with the curtsy. Barbra Streisand asked Queen Elizabeth why it was expected. Liz was puzzled and said “Well, I guess because it’s always done!”

I hate how the Saudi’s live but she is representing this country and should show respect regardless of how we feel.
It is diplomacy and they chose to live it and now they should go along with it.

One, she is angry because they are not falling all over themselves bowing down to the queen bee.

Two, they have no respect for a wookie that wears a blue tarp covered with the drapes from a brothel to a state meet and funeral.
