Last Thursday, President Obama hosted Emir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani of Qatar, otherwise known as the Boss of Al-Jazeera, for a meeting in the Oval Office.
Obama called him “Your Highness” and “His Highness,” even though the Emir dropped his robes of royalty for a business suit.
Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani financially sponsors Al-Jazeera and its most famous personality, anti-American and anti-Semitic cleric Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who has just returned to Egypt from Qatar to supervise the transformation of that one-time U.S. ally into an Islamic state.
The Emir gave an interview to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer the same day he met with Obama, and made the rather absurd comment that although he, and the government of Qatar, finances Al-Jazeera, “it is impossible for me to have influence to tell Al Jazeera what to do. Because they are journalists, and they will understand if the emir of Qatar is interfering in their job. They will not respect the job they are doing. Even internationally, Al Jazeera will not be respected.”

This clown Bows to everything.
HMM,
Musta took Karate Leeson and learn how to bow.
HMMMMM,
Maybe he watched too many King and Queen shows as a kid stuck in front of the TV. HA HA HA HA HA
Why even invite him to the whitehouse anyway?
Here's some more news....Al-Jezeera is NOT "internationally respected" anyway. And, would the President of the United States PLEASE stop bowing to anyone wearing a turban or a robe? Especially one that supports one of the most anti-American voices on the planet?! Is he THAT stupid and uninformed? Take a STAND on something other than hammering the rich?
Gotta start preping them for donations for the run in 2012.
And I'm sure that the Emir called him Mr. President. What's your point?
And his Highness replied "all is working out as planned my son"
I would like to hear that conversation, in English please.
Wow, some people will take anything and run with it!
Just because it's written here or somewhere else doesn't mean it's accurate or true but you guys just jump on it and go!
Gotta admit, you're so gullible it's fun to watch!
and people wonder why the United States is not the force they once were..... just keep bowing. Sad, sad,sad.
