I just saw the video of Obama getting off plane in Saudi Arabia. He appears to be alone?

AHORE: The grand mufti of Egypt has invited US President Barack Obama to address Muslims around the globe from Egypt’s Al Azhar mosque – one of the most important mosques in the Muslim world. Al Masri Al Yawm, an Egyptian state-run newspaper, said Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa and other clerics from Al Azhar University invited Obama to use the mosque as the venue for the president’s upcoming visit, “explaining it would promote a culture of dialogue between Islam and the West”. It is highly unusual for a non-Muslim to speak at the mosque, according to World Net Daily news website, and an Egyptian official it contacted could not think of any non-Muslim world leader who had previously received an invitation. daily times monitor
The “O” will have home court advantage.
“AHORE”
How appropriate......
he’s a liberal, not a republican so let’s change that R...
if she does go, I wonder if she’ll wear a sleeveless dress...
Ba-dum-bah.....
Interesting. I didn't notice it at the time, but indeed, you are correct: Mrs. Obama did skip Turkey last month when the Obamas were on their European tour.
Disappointment as Michelle Obama skips trip to Turkey
Suna Erdem in Istanbul
Michelle Obama may have been the star of the US President’s European show, but Turks were deprived of the chance to see her when she chose to return to her children instead of accompanying her husband to Ankara and Istanbul.
The US president began his visit yesterday by laying a wreath at the tomb of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkish state, before travelling to the presidential palace for talks with President Abdullah Gul.
Michelle Obama, however, returned to the US on Sunday.

Hillary and Chelsea went all burqa’d up so I guess Michelle will have to also.
The OFraud fairly gushes with blaringly evident Islamic values and pro-Muslim dialog; to the Muslim world the piece of illegitimate filth is an ‘honorary Muslim’, if not the real McCoy. Myself, I think the Obamination has always been a Muslim and at some point—after he feels that he’s broken our nation’s spirit sufficiently and destroyed the Faith on which it was founded, he will announce that he is in fact a Muslim, and that there’s ‘nothing to be afraid of because true Muslims are peaceful’. Yeah, tell me another “Fractured Fairy Tale” (The Rocky/Bullwinkle Show).
This is wrong. He should be addressing them from one of their government buildings.
What he is doing is to essentially tell them that a US President has caved to Islam by addressing them in this way.
I was at Blockbusters on Saturday renting videos, and I was going along the wall and there was a video called “Obama”. I told the men next to me that I wouldn't waste my time. We started talking about Obama.
These guys were Arabs, and I asked them why they thought Michele Obama headed home following her visit in France instead of traveling on to Saudi Arabia and Turkey with her husband.
They said she couldn't go to Saudi Arabia, Turkey or Iraq. I said “Laura Bush went to Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Dubai.”
They answered, “Obama is a Muslim, and by Muslim law, he would not be allowed to bring his wife into the countries that accept Sharia Law.”
Just thought it was interesting that the Arabs at Blockbuster's accept the idea that we're being led by a Muslim who follows the Islamic creed. They also said that's the reason he bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia . It was a signal to the Muslim world.”
So, when did Muslim’s start allowing ‘Christians’ to enter and give speeches in their mosques?
They didn't. That's why he is being allowed to speak.
