It means double-dealing, cunning and deceptive, hypocritical.
Sure on the surface they appear to support us. We are probably their biggest customer.
But behind the scenes, the Saudi government supported radical Islam.
That should be fairly obvious. Saudi Arabia is home to Wahhabism, probably the most radical and intolerant strain of Islam in the world. And Saudi Arabia exported it for years.
Saudi Arabia has been extremely duplicitous in their handling of Al Quaida. I guess you forgot that most all of the September 11 bombers came from Saudi Arabia. In addition, the government, for years turned a blind eye towards madrassas that taught and supported, financially and otherwise, radical Islam. That is until the fanatics targeted the House of Saud, Then that corrupt government began going after the Wahabbis and other Jihadist Muslims with a vengance. How about that.
OBAMA SHOULD NEVER HAVE BOWED TO A KING OF SAUDI ARABIA, ESPECIALLY IF YOU KNEW THE HISTORY OF SAUDI ARABIA AND ISLAMIC TERRORISM.
They smile at you and stick a knife in your back when you turn.
I am not too lazy to look up the number of people in the United States that identify themselves as Christian, it is 76.5%.
You confuse the government and the people. The government is not Christian like for instance, the government of Spain is officially Catholic, but the people of the United States are by far Christian. And I know all about the separation of Church and state, which is not in the constitution or Bill of Rights. It basically is covered in the 1st amendment, freedom of religion. And the vast majority of Americans enjoy their freedom of religion as Christians. Therefore, in that regard, we are Christian country.
Yeah, I guess we are a white country actually. Probably won't be in the future, but we are now. And we are a Christian country, and Obama is a either lier, a fool, or a spin artist (same as a lier really). NONE of which I respect in my President. And he is a socialist, and an arrogant one, characteristics I also don't want in my President
The bowing to a King of Saudi Arabia? How do you Obama supporters account for that. This is only an issue because the right wingers made it one. The Saudi Arabian people appreciated him showing respect to the king, the white house claims it was not a bow...I don't see the big deal and neither does anyone else. The same thing with Michelle touching the Queen...lighten up people..jeeeez!!
THE WHITE HOUSE CLAIMS IT WAS NOT A BOW. MORE LIES FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T SEE THAT IT WAS A BIG DEAL, DOES NOT MEAN IT ISN'T A BIG DEAL.
The statement that the United States is not a Christian country?
As much as you may hate to hear it, the United States is not a christian country...it is becoming more and more secular everyday. Yes, our founding fathers were christian, but they also protected the freedom of religion!
THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS (70%) CLAIM TO BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY. YOU CAN SAY WE ARE SECULAR ALL YOU WANT, IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACTS. HELLO!?
Why has there not been any investigation into Barney Frank's sterwardship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Flagrant corruption and self dealing, but it is OK under this Democrat Administration?
I'm not even going to pretend to know what I'm talking about here....but I WILL get back to you and how do you know there is not an investigation going on?
SO, THE INVESTIGATION IS GOING ON IN SECRET?? WHY WOULD THAT BE ??? MAKES SENSE THAT IT WOULD GO ON IN SECRET HUH. SO THE CORRUPTION CAN CONTINUE OF COURSE!
Apologizing for the United States? For what?Ummmm and unjust war that has effected the entire world, it's economy and global security...for starters....
UNJUST WAR?? DO YOU NO KNOW SADDAM IGNORED UN SANCTIONS AND DEFIED THE UN FOR OVER TEN YEARS FOLLOWING HIS INVASION OF KUWAIT. JUST BECAUSE THE UN IS GUTLESS DOES NOT MEAN THE UNITED STATES HAS TO BE.
IN ADDITION, YOUR DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE VOTED FOR THE IRAQ WAR. HELLO ?!?
YOU WAY OVERSTATE AND OVERREACH ON THIS: THE ENTIRE WORLD ECONOMY AND GLOBAL SECURITY AFFECTED BY THE WAR IN IRAQ? GET REAL.
MASSIVE Federal spending like the elected are royalty? You mean like the Iraq war??
THE IRAQ WAR SPENDING WAS A DROP IN THE BUCKET COMPARED TO THE WAY THIS ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS ARE SPENDING!
IT IS BEYOND COMPARE. DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BILLION AND A TRILLION !? When the spending was completely unnecessary in the first place!!! The spending now has to be done.....many economist will tell you that!! He has put many wonderful programs in place with that money
YEAH RIGHT. WONDERFUL PROGRAMS. YOU ARE UNREAL.
and you never mention the positive things. We are earning 7% on the money we lent for the bail out (we will likely see a profit) He put a cap on salaries, the cash for clunkers eliminated emissions by 10% and boosted the car industry as well as helped private citizens and there is much more.. However, it is to early to pass judgment!!
I think the Obama supporters are blinded by the MESSIAH, I only hope they wake up real soon.
The Obama supporters are encouraged by his vision and his ability to make each crisis into an opportunity!! He is not perfect by any means...but he is a 100% better than what we had!!! I support our Prez 100%
Your putting words in my mouth and misconstruing my statement
I did not say one word about harming any other country. I simply said it is not important that they like us.
Do you not realize that about 80%+ of the world's countries are extremely corrupt? Dictatorships and self-appointed presidents for life?
Frankly, these countrys will never like the US, and it is just as well. It really only matters that countries that follow rule of law, which are our allies, respect us.
Of course it is not purely Christian. That is obvious.
But it is far more Christian than anything else, and THAT is obvious too.
Solved a puzzle??? WTF?
Obama is acting like Jimmy Carter.... and the world will treat him like Jimmy Carter. They will HUMILIATE him. I guess you liberal Democrats always have to learn the HARD way. Problem is, you drag everyone else down with you and the foolish emotional path you like to cling to.
The only thing the world understands is power. And apologizing for the previous administration is revealing weakness. The world does have to like the US; in fact, most leaders in the world never will. We all COMPETE. All nations pursue their own self interest. Do you not know this??
Sounds like your referring to Obama here Ivaski. I agree. How did an idiot like Obama get so far in politics. I guess corruption did it for him. That would make sense.
The scammers that have emailed me have always tipped me off that they were scammers in several ways. I don't want to tell them and tip them off on a forum here, but I would be happy to let you know in an email if you are interested.
Your conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequate representative of the United States of America collectively or of me personally. You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States of America . You are responsible to the citizens of the United States . You are not responsible to the peoples of any other country on earth. I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about their status in the world. Sir, what do you think the First World War and the Second World War were all about if not the consideration of the peoples of Europe Are you brain dead? What do you think the Marshall Plan was all about? Do you not understand or know the history of the 20th century? Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States does not consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the Declaration of Independence or th e Constitution of the United State? This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country, at least until you came along, come directly from this heritage. Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans. Our President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia . You didn't show Great Britain , our best and one of our oldest allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia . How dare you, sir! You can’t find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation because you don’t want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a mosque in Turkey . You offended our dead and every veteran when you give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German people from themselves. What’s the matter with you? I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have the historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle. You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves in this situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about them? Anything? I seriously doubt it. What about the U..S.. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to their staff members on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay raises that lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17% bonus. I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer. You haven’t said anything about that. Who authorized that? Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210 million in bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that's $45 million more than the AIG bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded $51 million not a bad take. Who authorized that and why haven’t you expressed your outrage at this group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have right now?
I think this is very well stated, and I would like to see all the Liberal Obama supporters respond to the statements of fact contained in this letter:
The bowing to a King of Saudi Arabia? How do you Obama supporters account for that.
The statement that the United States is not a Christian country?
Why has there not been any investigation into Barney Frank's sterwardship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Flagrant corruption and self dealing, but it is OK under this Democrat Administration?
Apologizing for the United States? For what.
MASSIVE Federal spending like the elected are royalty?
I think the Obama supporters are blinded by the MESSIAH, I only hope they wake up real soon.
