Rulers of most Gulf nations to miss Camp David summit hosted by Obama

Four rulers of a six-member alliance of Persian Gulf states will likely be absent from a summit hosted by President Obama this week at Camp David.

In a statement Sunday, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said Thursday's summit coincides with a humanitarian cease-fire in Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition is fighting Shiite rebels known as Houthis. He said Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, who is also interior minister, would lead the Saudi delegation and the king's son, Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is defense minister, will also attend.

Obama had planned to meet Salman one-on-one a day before the gathering of leaders at the presidential retreat but the White House did not take his decision to skip the summit as a sign of any substantial disagreement with the U.S.

"We first learned of the King's possible change of plans from Saudis on Friday night," a senior U.S. administration official told Fox News. "This was confirmed by the Saudis on Saturday. We coordinated closely with our Saudi partners on the alternate arrangement and timing of the announcement and look forward to welcoming Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef and Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. This is not in response to any substantive issue."

Just as well, all those Kings would have meant a lot of bowing for the President. I'm sure he'll fill the empty cabins with someone.

Yes, my invite arrived yesterday, but I checked my schedule and it appears that I will be on the tractor turning over the compost pile. Darn.

So, our ruler apparently doesn’t rule the other rulers as he does in his fantasies?

You betcha they are skipping. Why would anyone want to meet this lying sack of crap? It’s too bad that almost every country realizes that Hussein is not to be trusted, but the slaves on his plantation keep cheering for him.

In Obama’s situation the emperor has no clothes, nor even an empire. He is a eunuch on the world's stage.

Nobody is showing up because he is working to give a nuke to their enemies. Would you show up at that party? There’d be only one reason for me...

Does the Clown Prince not have advisers? Who advises him? Good advice could have prevented this humiliation. Someone is not serving him well, or else he thinks he is so much smarter than everyone.

Most of them have already seen Obama's minstrel show several times.
