Just bow low and apologize, then all will be well.
President Obama begins Saudi Arabia trip with snub by King Salman, as activists unearth more evidence of Saudi links to 9/11
President Obama begins Saudi Arabia trip with snub by King Salman, as activists unearth more evidence of Saudi links to 9/11
. . . "The newly unearthed evidence, however, underscores renewed suspicions of Saudi involvement in the horrific terror attacks and growing criticism over Obama’s opposition to legislation that would give victims’ families the right to sue the Saudi government for any role it may have played in the terror attacks.
"That stance has long infuriated those families, who have also called on the commander-in-chief to declassify and release a 28-page portion of a congressional report on possible links between the Saudi government and the attack. The report was issued in 2002, but those pages were held back by the George W. Bush administration in the interest of national security."
NRO: Restore America’s Alliance with Saudi Arabia "Foreign leaders believe President Obama is an arrogant and unreliable ally. Conversely, President Obama believes he’s on an inexorable path toward history-book glory. But one striking facet of the president’s foreign policy is the reciprocal disdain now defining America’s relationships in the Middle East. Consider Saudi Arabia. Visiting the Sunni kingdom yesterday, President Obama received the diplomatic equivalent of a one-fingered salute. Breaking with Arab custom, King Salman failed to greet the American president at Riyadh airport. It was a deliberate and significant insult. And while pathetic, the slight epitomizes the crisis in U.S.–Saudi relations.
. . . "Put simply, President Obama’s strategy toward Iran reflects an utter repudiation of realism. That infuriates the Saudis."
Obama’s Saudi Problem Stems from His Tilt toward Iran . . . "His real Saudi problem is his unacknowledged alliance with Tehran to displace Saudi Arabia as the dominant power in the Middle East. It’s a policy he’s been pursuing since he took office, and it has led to his embarrassingly bad nuclear agreement with Iran. It’s also destabilizing the last stable regimes in the region and may force the Saudis, along with Egypt and possibly Jordan, to seek out nuclear weapons of their own now that they know the Obama administration has largely conceded the bomb to Tehran in the next decade."
For all this mess in the Middle East, let's give a shout-out to Obama's voters, many of whom many cannot find Iran on a globe if you showed them the right hemisphere. To those rock celebrities who had voter registration areas open as fans filed out of their concerts, TV shows that exalted the man as a majestic leader. In fact, to the entire media and their politically correct silliness: thank you for your contribution to this world. TD

NY Daily News had their perspective on the Saudis. I'm sure they meant it in a nice way:
