What a nice picture!!!! Preident Obama made it all the way. He is so smart and fluent. He is one of the great a leader who who is adored by the world. But wait this is not a Saudi's King, He is tthe Saudi foreign minister.
May God bless America and President.

I find this very amusing. Obama is a joke.

No gail alabama what is a joke is our Sen Shelby .Not only a joke but a ,let's say southerner ,you know what I am saying, gail alabama.

I'm sure those 600,000 + Americans that lost their jobs last month feel equally uplifted and jovial.

Let them eat cake!

Obama committed the US to pay for the bulk of the $1.1 TRILLION to the IMF. He's giving up on missile defense to kiss Russia's butt. He is bowing subserviently to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. He is apologizing for America being free and strong.

In return, he got ABSOLUTELY no additional help from the Europeans in Afghanistan. Russia continues to sell more weapons and nuke technology to Iran. China blocked ANY statement of disapproval from the UN over North Korea's missile launch--which violated their agreements.

Good job selling us out, Slick Barry!

Obama says, in America there is a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world. When there was genocide on Europe’s doorstep, in the Balkans, it didn’t lift a finger until America led. When Saddam invaded Kuwait, Europe didn’t lift a finger until America led. It’s because with America spending over half a trillion a year, keeping open the sea lanes in defending the world, Europe is spending pennies on defense. It’s hard to appreciate an entity’s leading role in the world, when it’s been sucking on your teat for sixty years as Europe has! And then Obama calls America arrogant, dismissive and derisive, in order to gain the adoration of the crowds. Obama denigrated America in a way that is disgraceful.

As President Barack Obama launches a military effort that promises to dwarf the Bush administration’s Iraqi adventure in scope and intensity, the “progressive” community is rallying around their commander in chief as obediently and reflexively as the neocon-dominated GOP did when we invaded Iraq.

“We will convey,” said Barack Obama to the Turkish Parliament Monday, “our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country.”

Undeniably the Islamic faith has done a great deal to shape the world – a statement that makes no value judgment about exactly how it has shaped the world. It has formed the dominant culture in what is known as the Islamic world for centuries. But what on earth could Obama mean when he says that Islam has also “done so much” to shape his own country?

Obama’s statement was extraordinarily strange. After all, how has the Islamic faith shaped the United States? Were there Muslims along Paul Revere’s ride, or standing next to Patrick Henry when he proclaimed, “Give me liberty or give me death”? Were there Muslims among the framers or signers of the Declaration of Independence, which states that all men – not just Muslims, as Islamic law would have it – are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Were there Muslims among those who drafted the Constitution and vigorously debated its provisions, or among those who enumerated the Bill of Rights, which guarantees – again in contradiction to the tenets of Islamic law – that there should be no established national religion, and that the freedom of speech should not be infringed?

You go "9/11" , remind the sheeple who
elected BO to office, just what kind of a moronic posture this administration has taken in the world. The results will make the World Towers look like a walk in Central Park.

Our president came bearing a basketful of mea culpas. With varying degrees of directness or obliqueness, Obama indicted his own people for arrogance, for dismissiveness and derisiveness, for genocide, for torture, for Hiroshima, for Guantanamo and for insufficient respect for the Muslim world.
And what did he get for this obsessive denigration of his own country? He wanted more NATO combat troops in Afghanistan to match the surge of 17,000 Americans. He was rudely rebuffed.
He wanted more stimulus spending from Europe. He got nothing.
From Russia, he got no help on Iran. From China, he got the blocking of any action on North Korea.
And what did he get for Guantanamo? France, pop. 64 million, will take one prisoner. One! (Sadly, he’ll have to leave his swim buddy behind.) The Austrians said they would take none.

What an interesting article and picture.

Was this taken before or after the French Prez called Obama Weak and Meek?

Nobody's has seen Omar Al-Bashir on the extreme right? Spoof!

Thanks for this article - it highlighted some of the link building aspects I thought were important. In as much as quality link is relevant, content is still king.

Anon...you never saw the pictures of George W. Bush HOLDING HANDS with the Saudi King??? Perhaps you forgot that Bush's personal lawyer was the first ambassador to Saudi Arabia, which meant that any communications between Bush and Saudi Arabia were covered not only by Diplomatic Immunity, but by lawyer-client privilege.

Which worries you more, a simple bow ( same as he would do to the President of Japan) or holding hands and having his personal lawyer be the contact?
