President Barack Obama receives a gift from Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah during a meeting at the king's farm outside Riyadh June 3, 2009.


I suppose picture 3 = Bow-gate part II? :-)


Hmm, look familiar?



No holdy-hands this time, though:



Or snogs:

"What is that?"

14. He is probably thinking that it is a cool gift
from a culture where people would not automatically think of Mister T when they see a black man wearing that much gold around his neck.

8. Well, that should get the freepers going ... freeps who refuse to acknowledge Bush-Saudi love affair
We'll have "obama bowing to saudi king" all over again (while never hearing about how the Bush family/Carlyle connection had Poppy and Junior practically having sex with the Saudi Royal family). All the Freepers need is Obama in a photo with someone who practices the Muslim religion to get them all hot and bothered.

That said ... I wish the Saudi Royal family would rot in hell. The way they treat women in that country is disgusting.

10. It looks like....the order of the PALM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


From the play/film "Mr. Roberts:" http://www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/m/mister-roberts-script-transcript-lemmon.html

What is it?



Open it.



What is it, Doug?



lt's a palm tree, see.



lt was Dowdy's idea.



Mannion made it.
He cut it out of sheet brass.



Mannion drew the words on it, too.



Stefanowski thought up the words.



Booksie gets credit for the ribbon, from
a box of candy he got from his mother.



Read the words, Mr. Roberts.



''Order of....''



''Order of the Palm.



''To Lieutenant J.G. Douglas Roberts.



''For action against the enemy,
above and beyond the call of duty.''



lt's very nice,
but l think you've got the wrong guy.



We know, sir.
But we'd like you to have it anyway.



Okay, l'll keep it.

11. Obama looks like he's positive Michelle won't like it
And she won't let him wear it. Ever. Not even as a belt or belt buckle.

Talk about excess. In the background all that glitters on those walls really is gold.

17. Bush got a gold necklace

24. I wonder what Obama gave him.
...probably a Zune or something lame like that! I like him, but we really do need to work on his gift-giving skills.

29. He looks like he's about to eat a rotten fish. Talk about taking one for the team.
Obama's thinking, "Geez. I brought him a really nice pen and a pair of joggers..."

38. Compare necklaces
I think Obama's necklace has more gold in it that Bush' or Putin's. na na na nana
I'd like to know the symbolism behind it. All that glitters is not gold but in this case, I think it is.

I agee with the poster above, it needs to be melted and applied to our national debt.
