Obama seems to have no problem excercising maximum restraint.

Don’t they have any Golf Courses in saudi Arabia that the King can go to when he needs to excercise restraint?

I think we’re kidding ourselves if we think this son of a bitch wouldn’t react like Saudi Arabia is, if we had citizens rioting in the street, breaking store fronts and looting the goods inside.

If they were demanding Obama’s removal or else, what would this prick do? Show maximum restraint? LMAO Suuuuurrrreeee...

The only thing shocking here, is that Obama hasn’t already talked about the need for regime change, and urging the leaders of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia to step down.

Actually, looking at the total ME situation, I see no rhyme or reason in the ‘Hussein Obama Doctrine’.

Thanks Free ThinkerNY. It’ll be amusing when the Muzzie civil war gets going in earnest, because I’m pretty sure they’ll never forgive Zero for his apostasy and backstabbing.

This before he got on AF1 for Rio?

It makes sense though.

He HAS to say it, He NEEDS to say it.

Problem is, Michelle would kill him.
