Obama is scheduled to arrive in New Delhi on Sunday where he will meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and attend the Republic Day parade.
He will cut short his trip, missing a planned tour of the Taj Mahal, to travel to Saudi Arabia, the White House said.
The White House had originally planned that U.S. Vice President Joe Biden would lead a delegation to Saudi Arabia, but now that Obama will travel to Riyadh, Biden will remain in Washington.
Oh the hypocracy! Much relief around the world that all of the Eineklach and nephews will jump right into their rightful positions and the oil will continue to flow.
Obama has time to travel to his Muslim brothers the Saudis but to Paris march against terror he was buzy playing golf…
He will need a little time to practice his bowing down to the new king.
I guess the Oil is more important then some walking in Paris…
Yup, to Saudi Arabia he runs, to mourn his brethren, but to Paris when Jews and others are killed by those same brethren? A no show. What a no-good transparent lowlife,
Are any members of the George Bush familyy going for the shiva? I remember them as having close ties to the royal Saudi family.
Oil is thicker than water
Wait a minute, doesn’t it take days, weeks to arrange for security?????
