White House: If Saudis Were Sending a Snub, ‘That Message Was Not Received’
PJ Media ^ | 5/11/15 | Bridget Johnson

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said today that if King Salman changing his mind against coming to Washington this week was supposed to send a message to the administration, “that message was not received.” Earnest insisted that “all the feedback that we’ve received from the Saudis has been positive.” The Saudi king, who was supposed to meet one-on-one with President Obama at the White House on Wednesday before a broader meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, initially RSVP’d “yes.” On Friday, he changed that to a “no.” Of the GCC states invited — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar,

I really wonder what is actually being thought in the White House. I can imagine two scenarios:

First scenario:

"They ... they aren't coming?"
"I'm sorry, Sir. They aren't."
"This is bad. This is very bad."
"It is."
"Okay. Listen: we can't let people know how bad this is -- put the word out that this is nothing, it's not a snub, and we're aren't concerned."
"Sir, do you think--"
"JUST DO IT!!"

Second scenario:

"They ... they aren't coming?"
"I'm sorry, Sir. They aren't."
"Oh, well. What time do I tee off?"

Our government is being run by 8 year old children.

Literally.

It was a 3AM message. No wonder everybody at the White House missed it.

Obama’s entire world is a pretense.

Saying you didn’t receive a message doesn’t change the fact that the message was sent, nor does it change the meaning of the message.

It just means you weren’t paying attention, or are stupid. Or both.

He had to wash his hair. That’s always a good excuse.

Look for Uranium to be shipped to Tehran beginning soon long with the Supercomputers that are about to be removed from Sandia.

“The king indicated that he had long been planning to have his toenails waxed, and the only time his manicurist was available was during this meeting.”

“Dumber than a box of rocks”.

Odumbo helping Iran may have something to do with this. Watch the price of oil going up now.

Earnest has no clue about middle eastern culture, does he...

obama and Hillary neither one could answer the 3:00am call, Benghazi proved that for both, this is just more of the same old crap. As another FR posted the 8 yr. olds are in charge now. Now no one likes us and no one is afraid of us...

Obama is now in an awkward position. Does HE still attend? To do so would be to grovel meekly and accept the snub. Not to attend would risk that the two remaining heads of state also have a reason to no show... leaving him and our country looking like idiots. Best course is to postpone the whole thing.
