Barack Obama assembles 27-strong delegation to pay respects to Saudi Arabia's new king
The Guardian ^ | 01/27/15 | Dan Roberts

Barack Obama is travelling with a 27-strong delegation to cement ties with the new king of Saudi Arabia on Tuesday as concerns over Yemen and the Islamic State take centre stage in the increasingly volatile region.

Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennan, Republican hawk senator John McCain and General Lloyd Austin, head of US Central Command forces in the region, are among the surprise additions to a hastily organised trip that has drawn critical comparisons with the US failure to send any senior figures to Paris following recent terrorist attacks.

Secretary of state John Kerry and leading House Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Joe Crowley, who have both been travelling with Obama in Delhi, will also accompany him on the unscheduled stop off at the king’s palace in Riyadh.

27 people is 27 more than he sent for the Charlie Hebdo funerals, but the difference is obvious. In this case the dead person was Muslim.

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
- Barack Hussein Obama

Today is the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp.

Obongobongo celebrates by paying his respects to people whose goal, like the Nazis, is the total elimination of the Jewish people from the face of the Earth.

He is cutting his visit to India short so he can attend the festivities in Saudi Arabia, but all he saw fit to do was send one of his cabinet members and a few other apparatchiks to Auschwitz.

FUBO.

Impeachment is too good for you.

Will they all bow, or just Obama?

Yesterday Obama was in India to discuss H1B visas and global climate change.

I wish he would stand with our allies and citizens instead of selling us out to foreign nations.

Remember that Obama couldn’t be bothered to attend M. Thatcher’s funeral.

Exactly who this man really is has always been there for anyone to see. Despite that, few seem to recognize it. That has led me to two conclusions: There are a lot of stupid people in this country and there are a lot of people who actually agree with what he does. Both are very troubling.

Thanks, I had forgotten that fact.
