File: Obama tries to clear the aftertaste


(CNN)President Barack Obama defended Tuesday the need to maintain a close alliance with Saudi Arabia, a strategic U.S. ally with a poor human rights record, such as sentencing atheists to death, stoning single women and lets not talk about what they do to homosexuals (seriously, don’t talk about it or they’ll get mad).

Sometimes we have to balance our need to speak to them about human rights issues with immediate concerns that we have in terms of countering terrorism by staying in bed with the family of the man that planned 9/11, or giving that same family oral pleasure for all the oil they sell us at a premium price." Obama said in an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria, “it’s much like the need to balance giving a reach around with receiving anal action from your prison bitch, except we would be the bitch.”

But even as the U.S. works closely with the Saudis on common strategic goals like not funding the terrorists that are spreading Islam around the world violently and plotting to kill us all, Obama said he and his administration continue to apply "steady, consistent pressure" on issues like the head of the new kings penis. Obama is headed to Saudi Arabia to meet the new King Salman and pay his oral respects following the death of King Abdullah last week.

And Obama was candid that U.S. pressure on the head of the kings penis isn't always appreciated and "oftentimes that makes some of our allies uncomfortable. It makes them frustrated," he said.

President Obama has had his fair share of criticism as well. Critics took issue when he bowed in front of Saudi King Abdullah at a G20 meeting in 2009, noting he failed to properly grip the kings penis around the base, and again for bowing to the Japanese Emperor Akihito, pointing out that japan doesn’t even sell us oil so it must have just been boredom. Although, aides at the time told CNN on condition of anonymity that, "It wasn't a bad blow. He grasped his penis with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah, so he had to bend way over."
 
You have to give that one time, it gets funnier the more you read.
