Obama’s ‘very usual’ welcome for Saudi Arabia’s King to White House causes a buzz
BIZ ^ | 9/5/2015 | Tom Tillison

When Saudi Arabia’s King Salman visited the White House on Friday, President Barack Obama did something that at least one news reporter characterized as “very unusual.”

No, he did not bow again. After all, there’d be nothing unusual in that for Obama. But CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller took to social media to say the president appeared at the West Wing portico to personally welcome Salman:

Obama’s behavior Friday was a far cry from how the Dali Lama was treated when visiting the White House in 2010, when the spiritual leader of Tibet was forced to exit through the back door and walk past bags of garbage.

It also differed from how he treated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that same year.

Not only did Obama not pose for a photograph with Netanyahu — a regular occurrence for visiting heads of state — he essentially walked out on his guest to have dinner in private, telling Netanyahu that he could hang out with White House advisers if he desired — an unprecedented snub.

It’s enough to wonder why the double standard … and provide some “right-wing blog clickbait,” as social media user Eric Geller suggested.

What would anyone with a functioning brain expect from this dangerous, imbecilic, Marxist-communist-Muslim?

Who is this creature and why hasn't he been impeached and removed from office?

What he does in private for the kink, we'll never know.

“What would anyone with a functioning brain expect from this dangerous, imbecilic, Marxist-communist-Muslim?”

Two out of three ain’t bad; he is not imbecilic. It is infuriating to see people on TV, such as Cheney just did, speak of Obama’s surrender over the Iranian deal. They refuse to connect the dots, at least publicly. Obama did not “surrender”; on the contrary, he was victorious with his agenda of chaos. Look what he has accomplished in the Middle East — total chaos, the strengthening of Iran, and the weakening of the United States and its allies.

Obama the maniac is very protected in the sense of being inaccessible to real psychiatric evaluation. It would be fascinating to really know what makes this Dali clock tick.

Let's consult William of Ockham's advice on this one.

Obama: “On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for him to give me space.”

Medvedev: “Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you ...”

Obama: “This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.”

Medvedev: “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.”

Worth watching to see if the pope gets the Saudi king treatment or the dali lama/Netanyahu treatment.

No. I believe it’s just another fat-assed leftist warthog.

He is a miserable POS and he’s surrounded himself with other lousy traitors and Muslims.

Um... just a guess... he turned around, pulled down his pants, handed across a tube of Vaseline, and bent over?

No. Never mind. That’s really quite usual for Obama.

I really don’t care how this communist pope is treated by anyone. He is counterfeit!

Obama will probably kiss his ass because he agrees with him on Gorebal Warming!

We’ll never know what he kissed in the privacy of the ‘oval orifice.’

The Saudis were likely responsible for OTrauma. They may have cultivated him, and aimed him at us like a human cruise missile.

The Saudi King is freaking out Russia is now doubling down, building a Forward Operation Base and bringing in fresh Russian troops into Syria. There goes the Saudi King's gas pipeline dream.

Which probably explains why ISIS is fleeing in the Migrants to Western Europe. They know they Russians will not put up with crap and will slaughter them.

So now ISIS blends in with the Migrants to start their new front in Europe. Probably will not start for a couple years and it will not be like Syria.

It will probably be mainly Germany and westward. Eastern Europe is like Russia. They will not put up with the crap that the WEAK leadership in Western Europe will require their people to tolerate.

I guess Western Europe will need the “ISIS” excuse for their failing economies when they collapse?

Merkel along with her Establishment/Globalist Cohorts need to be thrown out of office. They are nothing but Traitors and sell outs to their own country people.
