Saudi Arabia has threatened to prop up President Mubarak if the White House tries to force a swift change of regime in Egypt. In a testy personal telephone call on January 29, King Abdullah told President Obama not to humiliate Mr Mubarak and warned that he would step in to bankroll Egypt if the US withdrew its aid programme, worth $1.5 billion annually. America’s closest ally in the Gulf made clear that the Egyptian President must be allowed to stay on to oversee the transition towards peaceful democracy and then leave with dignity. “Mubarak and King Abdullah are not just allies, they are close friends, and the King is not about to see his friend cast aside and humiliated,” a senior source in the Saudi capital told The Times.

I don’t trust the Saudi’s one bit, but they are right on this one.
Did the King also forward a copy of his letter to Hillary “The Beast” Clinton?
“How embarrassing. The Saudi government has a better grip on reality than our White House and State Department.”
Not too surprising after Barry’s bow to the Saudi king. Barry knows who his master is (and so does Hillary).
Now we know why Beck has been going on about the Muslim Brotherhood, when previously he stayed away from Islam.
It is a pretty sad state of affairs when our President does not have the common sense to see without being told that the Egyptian President should be allowed to stay on to oversee the transition towards peaceful democracy and leave with dignity.
The sheer arrogance, stupidity, and ignorance of the current Administration is almost unbelievable! Seamless change takes time; you cannot manage the world using shallow, low brow, Chicago politics, IMO.
I love how this article came out the same day our “WTF” team hold a 50 minute phone conference to reassure the MSM the situation is not FUBAR
But Obama is backing the hood
But Obama is backing the hood
Let him. 1.5 bil saved is 1.5 bil earned. Ben Franklin said it and if you don't believe me, then you are a poopy head.
Obama is a DOG!!!

Good post potlatch
The Saudis and Jordan will put their F16s up and tell 0pansy to prepare for $200/barrel oil and the Suez Canal shut down run by the Muslim Brotherhood
How many F16s does the Brotherhood have right now
Does 0pansy relish putting troops in Kawait now and spending 20 plus more years in Iraq?
I’d say it is time for “brownouts” and food shortages in Egypt about now - a little water rationing might get through to the peaceful kiddies too
Let the alleged “peaceful freedom” seekers throwing rocks at the police go start their own “My Muslim Bakery” stores now
.
Obama said no more drilling, then I read that they miscalculated the amount of oil the Saudi’s have by almost 40%!!!
Wonder why all the Ambassadors were called back for a “meeting”?
.
They need to put up “SOCIAL JUSTICE” billboards and signs across America
Gas pump prices and no jobs will not get 0pansy re-elected:
Scenario:
Lay off or fire Whiteys
Affirmitive Action on all new hires
Redistibution Inc.
How are the sales of that spechul $41,000 Chevy VOLT hybrid going?
You can occassionally buy a sweet classic ‘60s Corvette are Barrett-Jackson auctions for under $30,000 and save $11,000 and watch the value skyrocket as you drive
