Good for President Obama. He has combined the worst of the blunders regarding the Muslim world made by Jimmy Carter with those of George W. Bush and Harry S. Truman. In short, he has sown the seeds for many more 9/11s. I suggest we all move to Canada until this new shitstorm blows over.
Heneage actually flew out of the Riyadh airport a few hours before Obama left. It was kind of cool - there were alternating Saudi and US flags flying every 50 yards for 5 miles leading up to the airport. Made me feel special, but then again anything Obama does is like a warm blanket on a cold night.
Same bling as awarded to GWB (assuming it's the highest of that honor's six grades). BHO removed it after a few minutes, when it seems to me that protocol would require him to wear it for at least the duration of his meeting with the king. (Of course, it was a wise PR move to take it off--for "safekeeping," as he said.)
I think they need to redesign that pendant. They need to have a diamond-encrusted pendant in the shape of the moon crescent and star from islam that spins around and makes a whizzing noise.

The Obamas won't let their children get their hands anywhere near Kimora Lee.
They have standards.
