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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
