RIYADH, May 16 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush arrived in Saudi Arabia on Friday to renew his appeal to help tame record oil prices and shore up Arab support for his efforts to contain Iran's growing influence. Since Bush's last visit in January, oil prices have jumped nearly $30 to around $126 a barrel, adding to U.S. recession fears and boosting political pressure on the White House in a year when voters will pick Bush's successor. For his part, King Abdullah will be looking for reassurances on Bush's commitment to push a $1.4 billion U.S. arms sale through an opposition-led U.S. Congress.
Hello? Does George 2nd think he will get a different answer this time? The Saudi King has told him several times, "NO! I will not boost production. I will not do anything to reduce the price of oil!" And at 11:33AM Friday, 05/16/1008... the report out of Riyadh confirms my prediction: King Abdallah just rejected the appeal to ease our energy crisis. He is NO friend of the United States or its people. If we can't count on friends of George 2nd, Bush is pretty worthless. So, why are we paying his travel expenses?
Do we need a better reason to NOT delay moving Barack and Michelle into the White House until January? The snickering clown using OUR ticket money to zip around the world aboard Air Force One should be ordered to come home right now... and go sit in the corner, with his mouth shut for the next eight months. He's over in Saudi Arabia now, rubbing cheeks and holding hands with a fellow tyrant, as each swears their undying allegiance to their unholy "friendship."
The robe wearing dictator, every bit as ruthless as the late Saddam Hussein hiding behind those jewel encrusted Foster Grants holds every American hostage who owns a car, truck, plane, boat, or lawn mower.. with impunity granted by his royal loyal kissy face buddy, George 2nd. The Saudi King may appear to be Bush's friend, but that scoundrel is an ememy of our (national) State and all the energy starved people in it. While refusing to give us a break at the gas pump, he is at this moment, demanding we send him another Billion-dollar plus arms shipment.
What's the Problem Here?
No problem at all if Senator Obama (as President) was the one camping out in that desert tent tonight. Just imagine how quickly many problems would fade... visualize Barack, after a cordial handshake without any of that disgusting smoochie stuff... staring into the eyes of this Saudi King who behaves more like a shop-keeper in an ancient Arab market - intent on robbing potential customers.
Without blinking an eye, our next President shows no hint of emotion as he simply reveals the terms that will best serve America: "You WILL get your OPEC pals to ship oil to U.S. refiners at a fair price... bypassing the commodity speculators who act like the money changers Christ chased out of the temple... and you will do this from now until your wells run dry... or else!"
"Or else... what?" the arrogant tyrant asks.
Again, without batting an eye... Mr. Obama counts off his points... each with a tap of his right index finger to his left palm:
