I disagree.

We respect each other’s customs.

If they walk on all fours in one country, and others walk on two feet. Both can accommodate each other.

And those Saudi’s that shook hands with her used their left hands.

There's a loaded cultural message right there.

That's the butt wiping hand.

She was also criticized by Saudis and the Muslim world at large on Twitter for not covering her hair.

For once, she does something that I approve of.

Curious, though, as to what message this was meant to send.

Great photo. Can't help but notice the huge difference between Laura and Michelle -- here, Laura is actually interested and engaging in conversation with the two Saudis, and they appear to be interested in her. I'd bet they couldn't care less that she isn't wearing a scarf.

Difference between class and ass, I guess.

That is quite the delegation!!! ....especially considering the Obama Adm's "delegation" to Maggie Thatcher's funeral.

On any of the the India/Saudi Arabia threads, has anyone mention that Obama isn't wearing his wedding ring in some of the photos of his two trips?

I don't think I can post any photos, but in the Saudi Arabia photos, I haven't seen any photos of his ring [See 6th photo down]:

In India there are some photos of Obama wearing his ring and some photos of him without his ring.

I mentioned the absense of ring a few times. The optics of this trip are baffling.

Ah...I missed this post:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3250427/posts?page=18#18

OTOH, I am nearly certain there are other photos of him in India WITH the ring.

“baffling” -— certainly agree.

“President Obama and the First Lady will arrive in Riyadh on Tuesday afternoon to attend delegation introductions, a bilateral meeting, and dinner at Erga Palace, before flying back to Washington overnight.

According to the White House press schedule, the Obamas will arrive at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh [Tues] at 3:25 p.m. and depart at 7:30 p.m.”

This article also has a tally of hotel bills, etc for the Saudi trip.

I don’t know why everyone here is dissing her Highness.

She did wear her Funeral Wig and a new Tablecloth Jacket..

Thanks, Thouworm. Do you recall his ring was 'repaired' in 2008?

Sorry 'bout that...

He is skinny as a rope. It probably slips off with all the coke he is on.

Hell - he’s been so stoned on TV giving interviews that you’d think they were talking to Ozzie.
