In case you have not heard, Obama’s justice department is siding with the Saudi Royal family against the family of the 9/11 victims who are trying to sue the Saudi Royal family over 9/11.
The Obama administration is supporting efforts by the Saudi royal family to defeat a long-running lawsuit seeking to hold it liable for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The Justice Department, in a brief filed Friday before the Supreme Court, said it did not believe the Saudis could be sued in American court over accusations brought by families of the Sept. 11 victims that the royal family had helped finance Al Qaeda. The department said it saw no need for the court to review lower court rulings that found in the Saudis’ favor in throwing out the lawsuit.
The government’s position comes less than a week before President Obama is scheduled to meet in Saudi Arabia with King Abdullah as part of a trip to the Middle East and Europe intended to reach out to the Muslim world.
Lawyers for the Saudi family said that they were heartened by the department’s brief and that it served to strengthen their hand before the court, which has not decided whether to hear the case.
I'm sure King Abdullah can find some wonderful way to show Osama Obama his appreciation.
Oh Yeah! Dear Leader Obama was just awarded Saudi Arabia’s highest honor yesterday — an elaborate gold necklace and medallion fit for a king or a rap mogul.
“Goodness gracious, that’s something there,” an awestruck Obama said when a royal aide approached him with the massive chain.
A beaming King Abdullah — who hosted Obama in an ornate meeting room decked out with opulent chandeliers, marble columns and engraved mirrors — presented the gift to the president…
…”Those are only given to the very few friends of the king, and you are certainly one of those,” Abdullah said.
I'm sure. Allah Akbar!

"In closing, I would like to leave you with a quote from the book “Das Kapital” by Karl Marx: “Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take on more and more expensive debt, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to the bankruptcy of all banks, which will have to be nationalised, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism.”

The Obama administration cast the decision as a recognition of reality: Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said sealing the border would be extremely costly and pointless since the virus was already in the United States. Obama likened the idea to "closing the barn door after the horses are out."
