3. Maybe he can talk them out of beheading any gay people while he's there.
Ouch. Well, the leftists really don't like Saudi Arabia much. They want us to attack them over 9/11 even though they all think Bush MIHOP anyway. BUT--- there is no real logic to their theories anyway, so bring on the Barry apologists!

4. It's called diplomacy. Geezus. That's what the head diplomat of a country does. The leader of a country will support what is in the best interest of that country. He must foster good relations even though Saudi Arabia sucks. It is especially important given what is going on in Yemen.
Yeah... not like Paris matters so **** you Barry Hatin' racist ****s!

8. Mistake, big one, especially after failing to go to Paris. They still keep their women locked up, I can't support showing them our favor.

14. I am not liking this....some questions need to be asked of Obama...I am not liking this at all, unless Obama plans to speak openly and candidly about the massive human rights abuses in Saudi. He won't. We'll have photos of him bowing to the new king before the week is out.
You know, "human rights", the thing the human rights loving American Congress removed from the name of a Congressional sub-committee because.....reasons, and which exceptional America is the "champion" of? Remember that thing?
The hypocrisy is nauseating.

Fred, you racist ****! How dare you question Barry the wonder kid!?

15. I'm thinking we pay John Kerry to do this kind of thing...or Joe Biden. They already said Slow Joe can't go to the funeral because he isn't muslim. Be interesting if they let Barry, who was a muslim and now says he is a Christian (a death crime in islam) go to the funeral...
I understand the reasoning for the President going to Saudi Arabia, but I think it sends the wrong message.
Maybe the WH thinks this will annoy Bibi? Sure- why not piss of another of our allies and side with the muslims who are sworn to destroy us?
Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that Barry has the best interests of islam in his heart and not those of this country?
