Middle East rulers and politicians gave some $1.25m worth of gifts to the White House last year, led by $988,000 of presents from Saudi Arabia.

Some $785,000 of the gifts were handed to President Barak Obama, the most expensive of which was a haul of $522,972 given to him by Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in September 2015 – that included a bronze sculpture of two horses made with gold-plated sterling silver, diamonds, tsavorites, yellow sapphires, rubies, and obsidian, along with a chronometer and a set of golf clubs and a golf bag.

Saudi Arabia was by far the freest spending of the Middle East countries, accounting for nine of the 12 most expensive gifts over the course of the year. These included a Thomas Mercer clock worth $160,000 given to Vice President Joe Biden by King Salman. Also high up the list was a 36” sword decorated with gold, silver, rubies and mother-of-pearl, worth $87,900, which Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif gave to Obama.

Why aren’t those gifts being redistributed in the name of fairness and equality? D.C. hypocrites.

Somebody better be checking Granny Robinson’s luggage for Government property when the Chiraqi Freeloader and mother to Chewbacca moves out in January.

Illary only had to return around 300K worth of property when she left with bent Willy.
