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

I would bet our narcissist POTUS would not want to share the stage with her anyway...but...old Barry knows how Muslims feel about women, especially a loudmouth, bossy one.

To show you how much of an impact she made on me, I didn’t even realize she returned to the United States before he did.

LOL

Maybe he’s going to Mecca and she can’t go, since non-muslims aren’t allowed there.

That is exactly right. She is not muslim and you will NEVER see her with is head scarf on! In other words, she CAN NOT go to saudi arabia.

Women in Saudi Arabia have about the same standing as livestock.

Then it follows that the SAs would admire such a fine specimen as Michelle.

When I worked in Saudi and was preparing to go there... if you put Jewish on your visa application it would never be approved. Further if your passport had a stamp from Israel in it, you were instructed to 'lose it' and apply for another. My company had previously done a rather large job for the IDF and many of the guys had to do just that. Oh, and that's guys only too - no women sent over to work.

They pointed out that this is the reason he bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia – it was a signal to the Muslim world. It was more than a simple bow to a King, but to the leader of the Muslim homeland.”

Let’s see if he has balance in his protocol. Then When he meets with Pope Benidict he would be expected to kiss the Pope’s ring.

Well, I’m glad you found it! It’s certainly an interesting account. As you say, it’s second-hand anecdotal stuff, but I’m sure it would be possible to check. It does ring a bell with me - I think I’ve heard that before about mixed Muslim-non Muslim marriages.

Now to really depress you....

If Sarah was President it wouldn't matter.

She wouldn't go to see these vile potentates to kiss their @$$es because we would be drilling and mining every energy source like it was a rented mule.

The AFL-CIO construction guys would be happier than a pig in mud because of the overtime building nuke plants.

Hey I can dream can't I?

Then it’s off to Euro-Disney with the kids and first m-i-l for that “family date” he promised them during the election?

Bureau of Consular Affairs, U.S. Department of State:

Saudi Arabia
Country Specific Information:

. . .

STANDARDS OF CONDUCT AND RELIGIOUS POLICE: Islam is the official religion of the country and pervades all aspects of life in Saudi Arabia. Public display of non-Islamic religious articles such as crosses and Bibles is not permitted. Travel to Makkah (Mecca) and Medina, the cities where the two holiest mosques of Islam are located, is forbidden to non-Muslims.

The norms for public behavior in Saudi Arabia are extremely conservative, and religious police, known as Mutawwa, are charged with enforcing these standards. Mutawwa are required to carry special identification and usually are accompanied by uniformed police; however, in some cases they have detained persons even without police presence. To ensure that conservative standards of conduct are observed, the Saudi religious police have accosted or arrested foreigners, including U.S. citizens, for improper dress or other alleged infractions, such as consumption of alcohol or association by a female with a male to whom she is not related. While most incidents have resulted only in inconvenience or embarrassment, the potential exists for an individual to be physically harmed or deported. U.S. citizens who are involved in an incident with the Mutawwa should report the incident to the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh or the U.S. Consulates General in Jeddah or Dhahran.

The Saudi Embassy in Washington advises women traveling to Saudi Arabia to dress in a conservative fashion in public, wearing ankle-length dresses with long sleeves and not pants. In many areas of Saudi Arabia, particularly Riyadh and the central part of the Kingdom, Mutawwa pressure women to wear a full-length black covering known as an Abaya, and to cover their heads. Most women in these areas therefore wear an Abaya and carry a headscarf to avoid being accosted. Women who appear to be of Arab or Asian origin, especially those presumed to be Muslims, face a greater risk of being confronted.

Some Mutawwa try to enforce the rule that men and women who are beyond childhood years may not mingle in public unless they are family or close relatives. Mutawwa may ask to see proof that a couple is married or related. Women who are arrested for socializing with a man who is not a relative may be charged with prostitution. Some restaurants, particularly fast-food outlets, have refused to serve women who are not accompanied by a close male relative. In addition, many restaurants no longer have a “family section” in which women are permitted to eat. These restrictions are not always posted, and in some cases women violating this policy have been arrested. This is more common in Riyadh and the more conservative central Nejd region. . . .

Let’s get into this “woman” thing a bit more. IMHO, Obama treats Michelle as “barefoot and pregnant” and 10 steps behind me.

They couldn’t find a bur’qa to fit a Wookie. Besides, have you ever seen a bur’qa with a belt? Looks like BHO brought Rahm along as his “wife.”

He needs Rahm to program his teleprompter.

When ever he speaks, he looks like a set of windshield wipers, routinely turning from right to left and back again but never looking straight ahead, as there is no teleprompter straight ahead.

He might loose his place in Rahm's speech for him.

Rahm’s with him. He’s ‘filling in’ as 1st Lay(D).

Sure he’s a Muslim. George Stepinoffonus tried to cover for him in that famous interview. And why do you think he got confused with the 57 states comment, other than there being 57 Islamic states in the world. He’s as Muslim as Barney Frank is gay.

A little off topic - Have any of you thought about how much he is stretching the capability of the Secret Service to keep him safe during all of theses trips near and far? Seeing stories about what its like to protect a President day by day, I can only imagine the strain those guys must be facing.
