Time for Obama to take out that Nobel Peace Prize, dust it off and start making good on the reason he won it.
Rather difficult to do when the opposition is focused solely on making him a one-term president, as opposed to working on America's problems in a
bi-partisan manner.
I am happy Obama is quiet on Saudi Arabia. I hope he also stays quiet on Libya, since he has nothing interesting, clever or practical to say. No Libyans or Saudis care for what he thinks. For once let Italy (Libya's closest European neighbor), Arab and African countries deal with their next door neighbors.

I am not republican, but did democrats work with Bush in his 2ed term in a bi-partisan manner?
Very true, big oil Bush and the rest of the radical right absolutly LOVE islam and the saudis. Even the #2 owner of fox news is a saudi muslim.
Bush is so happy he is dancing in the streets with them.
You would be correct in your assessment. But you forgot one thing. The Democrats are also in bed with Big Oil, hence why Obama is hush-hush on Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia Now Under Pressure: 10k troops sent to stop planned protests | Ron Paul 2012 | Sound Money, Peace and Liberty (http://www.dailypaul.com/158856/saudi-arabia-now-under-pressure-10k-troops-sent-to-stop-planned-protests - broken link)
Desperate to avoid mass uprisings against the House of Saud, security forces have deployed in huge numbers across the region.
King Abdullah is also reported to have told neighbouring Bahrain that if they do not put down their own ongoing Shia revolt, his own forces will.
In response to the massive mobilisation, protesters are planning to place women on the front ranks to discourage Saudi forces from firing on them. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/saudiar...

Nah...there is nothing more peaceful than keeping ones mouth shut when it's not your business. And it's not his business IMO. Enough with the interfering in other nations affairs already.
High oil prices can derail the world economy and any president - D or R - knows that. Saudi is the only country in the world wth a huge spare capacity to produce additional oil. This capacity and their role will be vital in avoiding a run up of oil prices in case the situation in middle east gets worse. Any US president would have kept quiet abuot Saudi. Besides, notice that Libya is still exporting oil and there are no calls to boycott it - we need oil, and will swallow our pride and our chest-thumping about liberty - it is the pragmatic approach.
See that? Didn't really happen. WHY IS OBAMA SLIENT???!!!!
because saudi arabia is an ally, just think if this was the sTart of LIBYAN rebellion the US would be on close watch do you even think the US would tell the saudi dictators to step down? NO we pick and choose..
Europe pays $7-$10 per gallon. The US will be fine..
Will it?
