That way somebody more friendly will be there to pick him up
This is not the first time we’ve seen this sort of thing on Obama’s trips to all those countries that love him:
Saudis snub Obama on Riyadh arrival amid growing tensions
“When Obama touched down in Riyadh shortly after 1 p.m. local time, there were no kisses with the kingdom’s ruler as President George W. Bush once exchanged. The Saudi government dispatched the governor of Riyadh rather than a senior-level royal to shake Obama’s hand, a departure from the scene at the airport earlier in the day when King Salman was shown on state television greeting the leaders of other Gulf nations on the tarmac.
“Social media users quickly termed the reception, which was not carried live on state TV, a snub and a sign that a relationship long lubricated by barrels of oil is now facing deep questions on both sides.”
Don’t we all remember this when Obama visited his newest BFF:
“The White House says it’s taking no offense that Cuban President Raul Castro didn’t greet President Barack Obama upon arrival in Havana.
“Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser, says it was “never contemplated or discussed” that Castro would be at the airport.”
Veritaspac is starting to see a pattern here.
We’re predicting that Barack on his next visit to either a former ally or a new best friend socialist dictatorship may have to hail a cab or maybe Uber from the airport to meet with its Head of State. Of course, the “White House” will explain that it was “never contemplated” that anyone would greet our President at the airport on his arrival. And, besides, cabs are plentiful wherever Obama goes and he is a man of the people.
