Obama’s Wahhabi bling-bling

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 4, 2009 11:43 AM

Isn’t it special?

President Obama was awarded Saudi Arabia’s highest honor yesterday — an elaborate gold necklace and medallion fit for a king or a rap mogul.

“Goodness gracious, that’s something there,” an awestruck Obama said when a royal aide approached him with the massive chain.

A beaming King Abdullah — who hosted Obama in an ornate meeting room decked out with opulent chandeliers, marble columns and engraved mirrors — presented the gift to the president…

…”Those are only given to the very few friends of the king, and you are certainly one of those,” Abdullah said.

Make no mistake. Barack Obama is no Rudy Giuliani.

    On June 4th, 2009 at 4:00 pm, nail49 said: This reminds me of the nut-cake black studies professor who vociferously claimed that the Egyptians were actually Africans (i.e., black-skinned) and that they had engaged in powered flight around the pyramids as they were being built, but that the white-man (i.e., the Jews) stole it from them!

    I guess we missed the heiroglyphics showing the blueprints of those early airplanes and that this technology was locked up in a temple in Jerusalem until they were shipped to America in the hold of the USS Lollypop — a slave ship — Oh, the irony!

    This reminds me of claims by so-called “historians” who said that over two hundred MILLION African slaves were involved in the slave trade from its inception to its end. They also claimed that the vast majority of them died en route(obviously, because less than 5 million people of African decent were alive by the end of the Civil War, or about 2.5% of that number), and their bodies subsequently became shark food. They went on to say that sharks STILL swim along the slave route, looking for more scraps of human jettison to feast upon.

    The ridiculousness of these claims notwithstanding, there are LOTS of folks out who were taught this revisionist nonsense who actually believed it. I do not doubt that there are “African studies” departments in our major universities who still peddle this tripe.

    It’s a palm tree with crossed swords, but the item dangling below might make a good sundial. It’s also a retread–Bush received it in 2008.

    MM, I demand equal time. You need to make a post slamming Bush in a racially charged way (maybe a picture of eminem or milli vanilli in full bling) for accepting such a gift. Other how will I know that you are fair and balanced?

    lgm, I demand that you acknowledge that your lord and savior is merely doing the same thing that Bush has done throughout HIS administration. The only “change” is that he’s injected Bush’s policies and actions with steroids.

    It’s ironic. Gold is the only thing that’s going to be worth anything in Obama’s economy. The king is just lookin’ out for his homeboy.

    PS – ever notice how much Osama and Obama resemble each other? The eyes, the mouths – they could be bruthas.

    lgm: We know you are neither fair, nor balanced, so why are you demanding it of others?

    I guess I just answered my own question… You don’t know fair and balanced in the first place.

    Is 20 troy pound of gold considered a “Monetary Gift”?

    That thing has to be 1/4 $mil. Unless the King is cheap and it is hollow!
