Obama Got Snubbed

Ms. Underestimated has a video up of Obama being snubbed. She recorded it at a slow speed to show the extent of the snub. Obama is in the receiving line with the other Saudi dignitaries and he keeps extending his hand to shake and people ignore him and shake the King’s hand instead. The last person does shake Obama’s hand.

I thought he was the guy to bring the world together. I thought he would have this open dialog and the Muslim world would just love him to pieces.

Considering the newest tape reported to be from Osama bin Laden it would appear as if Obama is not such a big hit after all. The speaker on the tape (analysts are trying to determine authenticity) says that Obama is just like George Bush:

In his latest audio message, bin Laden warns Americans to prepare for war as the policies of Obama are no different from those of former President George W. Bush in the eyes of al Qaeda. ABC

That certainly is not very friendly of OBL. How dare he pick on such a transformational figure as Obama. Especially after Obama has finally openly embraced his Muslim roots, the ones he kept denying during the campaign. He did everything he could to squash any hint that he had Muslim roots. He said his father was agnostic but now he was a Muslim. Helps with the Muslims if your Muslim creds are in order.

Then again, if that were the case they should have taken the time to shake his hand.

Prediction for tomorrow’s speech. Obama will tell the Israelis that they need to accept a Palestinian state and that Jerusalem should be part of Palestine. He will say that the Israelis should give up Jerusalem. Just my prediction so we will see.
