United States President Barack Obama will travel to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to meet with new King Salman to pay respects after the death of King Abdullah, the White House said on Saturday.
The White House had originally planned that US Vice President Joe Biden would lead a delegation to Saudi Arabia, but now that Obama will travel to Riyadh, Biden will remain in Washington.
The President is very much looking forward to this visit. It is a genuine honour to be invited as the guest for Republic Day and Obama is looking forward to see the festivities associated with Republic Day firsthand, his press secretary Josh Earnest said on Friday.

The new Saudi King is 79 and suffers from dementia. This ought to be interesting.
What about the security concerns?
Obama cuts short India visit to meet new Saudi King.
Of course he did. One muslim must pay his respects to another muslim. I doubt it will stop with one bow — mosque, prayer rug, bowing toward Mecca.....I think I will throw up now.
I knew he’d find his way to Saudi Arabia as soon as I heard he was going overseas. I just couldn’t figure out if it would be for the funeral or after.
No representative for Margret Thacher no representative for the Paris march ...
No time to meet with Bibi, and between India whose alliance should be our future and Saudi Arabia whose alliance should be our past, BHO chooses the past. Only 727 more days...

Wouldn’t surprize me any if there were attempts at some serious mischief. In some quarters in that country Abdullah’s death was awaited the signal for takeover.
Yep. the PINO (president in name only) is going to put his bow-wow on for his new master.
Oh! Called back to the head shed. The Master must have called.
Well, after all, what’s really important? Going to a march in Paris to protest a bunch of towelheads murdering humans, or going to meet and kiss the feet of a sand king?
I don’t accept the concept of monarchy, and I don’t have any respect for towelhead bearded kings.
India visit = excuse for media to not mention SA!
You think he would rush to Israel if Netanyahu passed? This guy is so obviously a Muslim it’s comical.
I don’t see how any honest person could dispute it. Obola himself has given the most brazen obvious dogwhistles to make it clear. the “Christian” church where he sat was not a Biblical, Christian church, it was a political “liberation theology” meeting place, therefore did no insult to his Muslim religion. The magazine of this “church”, called “The Trumpet”, put Louis Faraakhan on one its covers, and gave him its “Trumpeter” award.
New master — slave Gotta get updated instructions
What will Michelle wear at the funeral?
Yeh its not like the new Saudi King is going to know what day it is anyway. But you can bet BO will be bowing and kissing.
Pathetic. Bow to your Saudi masters, President Zero while ignoring Margaret Thatcher’s death.
Less than two years left until this national disgrace is out of office.
