I don’t know either...you’ve seen what I’ve seen. All I can say is that it wouldn’t surprise me.

That’s not a great outfit, and I don’t know what to say/think about covering her hair. I sort of admire her for not doing it, but then again, diplomacy is important.

She should have worn a better outfit with a lovely hat.

But, they still might have blurred her.

They are completely offensive to me, the Saudis, may they end up blurred out of history.

Because .. the First Lady appears to be sleeveless .. and that is unseemly in the Saudi culture. Clueless. Besides, Michelle is still trying to prove she’s still 14.

All this proves once again that this couple have no clue what other cultures believe. Thus, they go blindly on their way, sure everybody will bow and scrape at their presence.

Unfortunately, the WH staff appears to be as clueless as far as common courtesy to other nations is concerned.

While both of them seem to be willing to embarrass America; America is likewise embarrassed by their rudeness to other countries and their leaders.

They were upset because she didn’t wear a head scarf, maybe the blurring is a symbolic beheading.

Sounds like there’s some uproar in Saudi because they didn’t blur her. As well there should be here.

Clitenis? Petoris? It's still more than Boner and McTurtle can boast.
