Can we get a pic of Obama bowing to the King? I guess hillary has taught him how to get on his knees.

President Obama is so lucky. As a muslim, he is showered with expensive gifts now and probably be given a mansion or castle upon retirement in the foreign lands of Allah. His life will be blessed. His name will be on every set of lips in Saudi Arabia. Other lands will honor him for destroying America. Are you going to wake up and rally to the cause or just be passive? Sit home and watch ballgames, movies and television. Don't worry about anything outside of your house or beyond your pleasurable agenda. Your life as you know it will soon be over. When it happens, think of the old days. Pleasant memories.
