Investigating Obama ^ | 1/14/2009 | rxsid
“Obama, Biden to Visit Supreme Court,’ Today, says CBS News” http://investigatingobama.blogspot.com In part: “At the invitation of Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden will pay a protocol visit to the Supreme Court of the United States tomorrow afternoon.” “The visit is a private event. There will be no photo or press availabilities.” A ‘protocol’ visit? It’s happened twice before...and that’s protocol? Perhaps some (Constitutional) discussions will be had. hmmmmm

And there it is, priority.

Indeed. His first official phone call as president was to Palestinian President Abbas.

Now his first official television interview as president is with Dubai's Al-Arabiya television.

Outside of FR and a few of our conservative talk radio pundits, no one seems to notice or care what this portends.

I’m betting his first call as President was to Michelle. “Hey, Michelle, this is the President.....I demand that you....click....hello, hello?”

LMAO!!!!! I wouldn’t imagine she’s into the whole ‘role play’ thing. He’s donning TOO many masks for anyone’s taste.

I can’t wait to see what kind of questions he was asked in that interview. I wonder if they popped him a few hard ones or will he give more simpleton and mindless word drool answers.

The big question here is

"How much in American dollars did Al Arabiya pay Obama for the interview?"

I was faced with that very same choice about an hour ago and ended up just throwing the two together. I do not know what the desired result was but this sure isn’t it. lol

Dubai's Al-Arabiya television

Even worse. Saudi Arabia's.

The Saudis own Al-Arabiyyah, but it's based in Dubai.

Now he’s running for President of Saudi Arabia. The problem with Obama is that he believes his own hype. In fact, he demands it.

“....His first executive order concerned closing Gitmo, and “modifying” any future interrogations of terroist/detainees.....”

Don’t forget that his Attorney General, Eric Holder’s law firm represents 17 Gitmo detainees too.

WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA!!
