The dot, not feather.

Too bad he can't practice what he preaches.

In his defense, he just can't think and chew gum at the same time...

I'm smelling what you're stepping in.
Welcome to Amateur Hour Foreign Policy when the those really earnest kids from college named Poindexter, Jonathon, Tiffany, and Buffy finally get to go try to make the world a better place because by-golly America is bad, we know it, and are very sorry about it.

Are you saying he should have worn a patch instead and looked like he was scratching fleas/bedbugs?
(Stick the patch on his butt and let everybody think he's got hemorrhoids. >:D )
stay safe.

Again, I don't think he's a Muslim (as much as some internet conspiracy theorists want him to be), but he does favor Muslims since he was raised in Indonesia and in that culture.
He's still more of an anti-colonial socialist, then anything else.

No kidding. He's not exactly a unifying force in this country, on race, religion, politics, or anything else.

Shouldn't he sympathize with the Indians then, considering they were also colonized by the Brits? Or could it be that he dislikes them because they aren't friendly with Pakistan?

And then Mrs. Obama disses the Saudis by not following their dess code.

Navigates? Hell, more like barrels over the rapids towards the falls without any regard.
She is high up enough in the international diplomatic food chain that they would not actually lay hands on her. But there will be reprisals.
stay safe.

A lot of outrage already on the interwebz about Mrs Obama not covering up.
Some of the same people who believe (rightly) that we shouldn't capitulate to their absurd cultural demands.

Yeah....far as I'm concerned, that was one of the very few things she's done right.

This.

and this.
Also, it isn't required that foreigners cover up in SA, only the prisoners female citizens.

Much as I hate to say it, Michell Obama gets a "Thumbs Up" for dressing like a normal adult female in this instance, rather than wearing a burkha, chador, or whatever else those warped despots impose on women.
-
The Western Women not having to cover up is actually a newer concept to SA. Back when US forces were there for Shield and Storm they wanted Service Women to cover up and not drive. We basically said if you don't want Sadam coming across your border you aren't going to stop us.

It's OK. We'll send Ravi Shankar over there to serenade them and that will make it all better.

Good job. God bless the First Lady.
Better this a thousand times than bowing to them.
The Saudis are evil slaveowning child-abusing thugs. Every insult heaped on them is totalyl justified.

If Modi doesn't want to be criticized for violating freedom of religion, he is free to stop doing it any time.

I remember reading a report that one of our US servicewomen drove a Humvee into some little Saudi town, and when she got out of the driver's seat, one of the mutaween - Saudi religious police - began screeching at her and approached with a stick to whip her into submission.
She pulled her sidearm and stuck it in the mutaween's face, which sent him scurrying for cover, much to the delight of other Saudi onlookers. (Seems the mutaween aren't very popular over there.)
In another instance, a mutaween somehow made it onto an airbase, and decided to discipline one of the servicewomen guarding our aircraft. He bravely ignored the rifle in her hands and approached her in a threatening manner - and received a burst of 5.56 in the chest.
US forces had her on a plane departing Saudi Arabia in a few hours, and both governments decided not to pursue the matter.

I've often wondered what things would be like if there were an AK behind every burkha.

hilarious, considering the obama administration's war on Christianity in America.

Yeah. Heard a few of those stories. One I remember best was a Saudi prince (there's about a thousand of 'em) noticed a female was well endowed, and decided to squeeze said assets. She decked him, his body guards drew weapons, some Marines racked their M16's. Prince waved off the guards and asked the ranking person there how much it would cost to buy said female. He apparently liked her spunk and wanted buy her. Ah, not for pleasant reasons, apparently.
She was guarded by a small fire team until she could get stuffed on the first flight out.

I always hear this. When I ask for examples, I usually get an example of them not getting preferential treatment or not being able to implement a religious view into law. Often said desired preferential treatment or legalistic view is not uniform across the multitude of Christian groups.
-
Obama is only anti Christianity in the sense that he is a true post modernist who despises the success of the western world and all its institutions; including institutional Christianity.
He wants to take and fundamentally change the one country that is protecting and potentially holding the western world together.
Once they destroy what is left of our institutions we will have the vitality of the typical European matriarchal welfare state.

Small? Or was that just the close team?
I've heard of people stuffed on flights so quick that the shirt and supervisor had to pack their stuff up and mail it to them. If they're lucky they get a day bag.
Literally there was a flight scheduled to leave 5 minutes ago and they paused it long enough to toss the person on it.

I'm with you here. Obama's treatment of Christianity seems to be inline with all the other presidents - IE mostly a supreme indifference/hands off approach towards ALL religions and sects therein.

American Christians are some of the whiniest people around.

Yep, during DS/DS, if a US servicemember was in essence PNG'd, they throw them on the first thing smokin' head out of theater. Your crap will catch up with you once we get you back to your permanent duty station.

My grandmother used to tell us, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Is that SOOOOO difficult for our "leaders" to understand?

Yes, Americans in general largely don't realize how good they got it and tend to whine about conditions that most of the rest of the world would kill to live in.
