Hey Barack? Yes, Your Royal Majesty. Look, know what I said about coming to that thing at your place? Of course, oh Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Not going to make it--turns out I have to rearrange my stallion's sock drawer.

On today's Morning Joe, Andrea Mitchell acknowledged the undeniable: that the last-minute decision by Saudi King Salman not to attend the White House summit, after previously having informed John Kerry that he would be there, was such an "in your face" snub, so embarrassing to Kerry and the Obama White House, that "I don't see any way that they can spin it."

And here the media has been saying how Obama is a uniter, but in fact we have almost zero respect in the world and the prez and first lady are actually inciting racial violence, absolutely incredible.

The Saudis know they can’t deal with 0. When will Rubio figure it out?

Obama’s laugh is believable to his base, otherwise fake for public consumption.

Who knew the Sheiks were so good at being racists? Isn’t that the REAL excuse Andrea? Well isn’t it?

I'm surprised that any one in the LSM would even mention it, let alone calling it what it was.

Perhaps as cover for BHO to support anti Saudi Kingdom groups?

The Iranians are playing him - they don't like him either. The ME is known for flattery. It's one of the few products they know how to produce.

It’s about damned time a world leader, albeit SA, made an in-your-face-you-worthless-dangerous-fool statement.
