“Let me underscore, the United States keeps our commitments,” Obama said at a news conference.

Thursday’s meeting at Obama’s retreat in the Maryland mountains was aimed at quelling the Gulf’s fears of U.S.-led nuclear talks with Iran. Gulf states worry that if Iran wins international sanctions relief, the influx of cash would embolden what they see as Tehran's aggression in the region. …

If any of those countries weren’t worried before, they’d better start now that President Bumpkin has assured them of US assistance. He’s the Bizzaro world King Midas; everything he touches turns to excrement.

obama left over Americans to die in Benghazi.
He punished those that tried to rescue them.

He supports the muslim brotherhood terrorists... any terrorist.

He gave weapons to drug cartels in Mexico, hoping for mass murder and he got it. Ask the survivors of around 400 people.

What kind of “summit” was it when the most significant nations refused to come? Did the clown Prince talk to him self? What a malignant loser this fool is.

EPIC FAIL! Those states are done if they believe Barry Obamination. Look at the Middle East diplomacy failures he’s already accomplished: Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Egypt, Libya for starters. The main is a fool and a liar with Valerie Jarrett as his puppet master.

Actually, if he would dump Isreal, would he dump them? They know he cannot be trusted.

Charles Krauthamer dissected a sentence word by word word. Thew result was the words strung together were meaningless.

The camera inadvertently caught Mora with her head down laughing at the destruction of the obamaspeak being wrought.

Obama is now a dead duck with no credibility
