The Arab world is all giddy as preparations are underway for President Obama’s third World Apology Tour. First stop on the five day four country tour will be Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to meet with King Abdullah, no doubt to kiss his boots and try and get more oil for his oil buddies in the states. That is what all Presidents do when they go to Saudi Arabia. It will be a private meeting so we won’t know if Obama will bow before the king.
President Barack Obama
The big event will take place in Cairo where Barack Hussein Obama will focus on how the U S must improve its relationship with the Muslims by blaming America. He is expected to discuss his Hope for peace in the Middle East. Most of which appears to be the Bush “Road Map to Peace.” Obama and Secretary of State Clinton both told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during last weeks visit at the White House to stop building settlements in the West Bank. Bush asked for three years for an end to the settlements.
A Palestinian Official was demanding that President Obama follow up his tough talk to Netanyahu with action. Has this official been paying attention for the last 130 days or so? What they are really saying is that unless they stop the settlements, peace will fail like it has the last 2000 years. Even if Israel stopped and gave the West Bank to them, that would not be enough for peace. The Palestinians want all the land that is now Israel without any of the Jews there. They want what Hitler and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants and that is extinction of Israel.
Since Obama has been President he has given an interview to the Arabic satellite Al Arabiya, done a video for the Iranians and in Turkey recently told them that the U. S would never be at war with them. I was not aware that were ever at war with them or thinking about being. Oh well.
His first order as President was to order the closing of Guantanamo and promise not to torture any Muslims. Even though he has yet given any details of what he plans to do with our guest there. (I guess we are to call them that since we can’t call them terrorist.)
After kissing and hugging the Muslims, Obama will travel to Buchenwald, Germany to visit a former Nazi Concentration camp that he errorously claimed his uncle helped liberate during WWII last year during the election campaign. He will not have to apologize to the Germans, because they love him. Then he goes to Normandy, France for the 65th anniversary of the June 6, 1944 allied invasion. No doubt there will be a photo showing Obama walking along the beach with sadness on his face as he remembers that day. And then that will be followed by a photo of him walking on water.
It is safe to say that Obama will promise anything to anyone willing to believe him. 53% of America did and we are just so much better off now.

I respect the family of Aal-Saud because of the many good and charitable things they have done for the Muslims and their preserving and mainting of the two sanctified mosques and their application of sharee’ah law, and I recognize that neither I nor they are infallible but they have done much good. As a non-Saudi Muslim I’m appreciative and I ask God to grant them guidance in all affairs, just as I ask God to give all the Muslims and their leaders guidance to do what is in accordance with Islam.
But Mr. Obama should not accidentally bow to any human like that again. I say this not out of disrespect to the King but because in Islam their is a bowing action in the ritual prayers where the back is to be flat with the hands on the knees, the worshipper does this bow and says some glorification to God while doing it. The bow that Mr. Obama gave was of course not exactly how I desrcibed the very specific prayer bow and maybe he meant to lean forward and it came off as a bow, and I’m sure he didn’t mean to pray to the king, but it didn’t look good. And as a Muslim, I can tell you I am sure the king didnt ask to have Obama make rukoo’ (the prayer bow) to him!!! Mr. Obama may have just been thinking that this man is royalty, and in other nations often the standard for royalty is to bow or curtsy. In conclusion Mr. Obama please don’t bow, a hand shake will do. And a real hand shake please. This time with sincerity behind it. With good intentions.
Dont come to shake these mens’ hands and then go back and insinuate, just as your republican opponents do, that Saudi Arabia funds this and that and the third thing. This is not true. They face terrorism there themselves all the time. They have no interest in supporting it from a religous standpoint, since they know that it is against the sharee’ah, nor do they have any sound practical or economic benefit from it. Stop this hateful rhetoric against the Saudis. They suffered terrorism from renegades both before and after september 11th. Stop the B.S.
When people here in the liberal and conservative Jewish infiltrated media bring up stories about things that happened in Saudi Arabia, they don’t do it to just insult Saudia Arabia or Aal-Saud they do it to insult the religion of Islam. They are trying to scare people away from Islam. But it doesn’t work. Because God keeps guiding people to Islam. The truth will always reign supreme over the lies.

“Senator Richard Lugar praised President Barack Obama’s Cairo address to the Muslim world as a “signal achievement” and dismissed Republican criticism that the speech was too apologetic.
The speech was important and necessary, said Lugar, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, noting a “lack of sympathy for our country” in many Muslim nations”
But I guess you are just regurgitating Limbaugh now? Did you whine when Bush was kissing the king in Saudi Arabia?

Senator Lugar is entitled to think what he wants. He does not speak for me or most Republicans. It is remarks like that that cost us two elections. He needs to either be a conservative, or switch parties.
Bush never bowed to the Saudia king. Bush never went overseas and put America down like Obama has.

How is it that [President] Obama elicits blame on the past administration’s ‘mistakes’ in terms of Middle Eastern, or general foreign, policy on their absolute resolve to ensure national security, and yet his current stance on [North] Korea is, in essence, mimicing the exact same; national security. In regard to former president George W Bush’s policies, isn’t it the sworn duty of our nation’s Commander In Chief to offer, rather, ensure its citizens security above all else? And, isn’t it more than apropos to foster a faculty of thought to uphold the same value that EVERY human upon this earth is entitled to; that being the ability to exercise freedom? And, isn’t a complete smack in the face to America, its citizens, and its founding fathers (and mothers) to in any fashion, and on any level, apologize for any actions that enforce the determination of America to ensure the freedom of its citizens and offer assistance to any nation(s) that are deserving of freedom from tourture and suppression and arrest of their human rights by uprooting any tyrant that threatens freedom? Doesn’t it also make America appear weak in the eyes of the international community to have its president, the most influencial and powerful man in the world, apologize for its [suggested] ineptitude in handeling domestic and foreign affairs? How dare Obama belittle the citizens (and leaders) of this great and glorious nation of freedoms and opportunities by apologizing for enforcing the rights of EVERY human being that breaths the air God gives us! I would rather have the foul, noisome, freedom loathing nations of this world call my President a ‘tyrant’ for his behaviors dedicated to upholding our God-given rights as Americans, as Humans, than these same nations viewing America, and [President] Obama, as weak and fickle, opening this nation up to attack and collapse. Here is my stance on this subject. I only pray that in the next four years America is able to recognize vacillation of the Dems and re-elect another Republican in the interest of this nation and its continued recognition as the best nation on the earth harboring not tyrany, rather opportunity, freedom, and appreciation of human rights.
