“The United States supports a set of universal rights, including the right to peaceful assembly and to freedom of expression,” said the State Department. “Those rights must be respected everywhere, including Saudi Arabia.” (http://arabnews.com/opinion/editorial/article310337.ece)
Note the use of the word “must.” President Barack Obama thinks he can lay down the law to Saudi Arabia.
Washington’s behavior is insulting and can only exacerbate the already strong anti-American sentiments in the Kingdom. We are not talking about anti-American views among officials. On the contrary, they are trying their hardest to keep Saudi-US relations on an even keel. We are talking about the anti-Americanism of the mass of the Saudi population which sees the US as a champion not of justice but of injustice. How else can it be when the US constantly funds Israel’s oppression of Palestinians and protects it from international criticism?
In yesterday’s speech from Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal, the US has had its answer. Do not tell us how to run our country. We are not going to be ordered around by you or anyone. Public protests are banned in Saudi Arabia; that is the law.

There is a quote around somewhere with Duh Wun opining on how America must not force our values on other countries.

I long for the end of our long national nightmare for so many reasons.

This is what it looks like when a two bit Marxist street preacher and all-around rabble rouser somehow makes his way into the White House.
So, to everyone who marveled at the national debut and scene-stealing performance of this patent medicine salesman at the 2004 Democratic National Convention and thought to themselves, approvingly, "Oh wow! I wonder what it would be like for him to be President?", well:
THERE IT IS. Good job America.

Bitch slapping our president by anyone would normally upset me,but in this case it's well deserved. The man is an embarrassment of historic proportion.
Were better off when he's golfing.

Just wondering out loud what "peaceful assembly" and "freedom of expression" means to a muslim loving marxist.

Indeed. Just send him to the golf course and Michelle on vacation for the next two years and maybe--maybe--we'll survive this.
