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

The world is OVER zero.

Half his base is OVER him.

The planet all woke up at once! to the back-stabbing gypsy pick-pocket. Praise the Lord.

Well what do you know? I do have something in common with the late rag-head!

If you’re going to speak ill of someone, do it in private. If you’re going to go public with your statement then it’s always best to sound nice........That’s common sense that my grandmother taught me.......

the </sarc> is an indicator of ignorance

the King was one of the good guys, our ally who discerned what a loser Obama is

MAYBE someday when Israel really needs to put him in his place!

[onyx]

Amen!

I had a question and even Googled it but couldn’t get an answer.

Are there any foreign leaders who like Obama? Not like as in “I like that I can get away with anything”, but genuinely like his company? I honestly couldn’t find one.

[stephenjohnbanker]

That may be very soon.

Dean Wormer: “put Niedermeyer on it. He’s a sneaky little $*!+ just like. . .”

The quote just conjures up images of Obama in my head. I would wager that most of the world leaders think of Obama in that way.

Look for the IRS to come after him and audit his taxes for the last 10 years. That’s more like Obama’s pettiness.

The late King also gave Barry the 'Bibi' look

They supported Barry till they found out about Reggie. Islamic Jihadists don’t tolerate Homosexuals.

Look for him to be audited soon.

[mikrofon]

The ultimate irony is that Obowma couldn't stand before the King ....

Engel is the only MSM reporter I pay attention to. He has seen firsthand the terrible hash Obie has made of the middle east.

There is a long line of people who cannot stand our big-eared Marxist president.
