NBC’s chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel said on Friday that President Barack Obama‘s statement on the passing of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud was ironic and just an attempt at being polite because in reality, the late king “could not stand” President Obama. According to Engel, Saudi Arabia was against the “democratization” that the U.S. encouraged with its support for the Arab Spring and its opposition to former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. “One of the big ironies here is that President Obama, in his statement, said how close he was to King Abdullah — King Abdullah did

Just maybe Abdullah wasn't such a bad guy.</sarc>

[Veto!]

Was Abdullah the king Obama bowed to?

“One of the big ironies here is that President Obama, in his statement, said how close he was to King Abdullah...

To be fair, though, Obama was only a foot or so away when he bowed to Abdullah - and that's pretty close.

Was it it Abdullah that Dear Leader bowed to? If that’s the case, then Abdullah was likely just disgusted at what a bootlicker he was.

The King is (was) in good company.

Makes perfect sense now that you mention it... wonder if Abdullah or any of his buds ever wanted a refund into all the money they put into grooming 0 for the job, (or so many of us have heard...) after he turned out to be such a f’n idiot in their view?

I’ll wager the majority of leaders can’t stand the Marxist.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Saudi leaders despise weakness of character.

Obama is all weakness, and devoid of any character.

[colorado tanker]

Is it news that Obama lies?

[PROCON]

Most of America can’t stand Obama either.

[stephenjohnbanker]

WEN ALL OBAMA DOES IS LIE, IT GETS HARD TO COVER FOR THEM ALL.

[TheOldLady]

“They’re all laughing at him.”

That was my first thought when I saw that disgusting photo.

He truly is one of the most risible “world leaders” we can even imagine.

[Obadiah]

In other words, Obama lied...

[SoFloFreeper]

LOL. Where was Engel’s reporting *BEFORE* the old man died?

[onyx]

Wouldn't we love to see Mosaad’s file on Obama?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

This is the third time Engel criticized Obama in fairly blunt terms. Look for him to move to Fox soon.
