OK so the official cutline for this AP photo of President Obama reads:
"President Barack Obama takes off a gift of a gold necklace called the King Abdul Aziz Order of Merit, the country's highest honor, for safekeeping after it was given to him by Saudi King Abdullah at the start of their bilateral meeting at the King's Farm in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Wednesday, June 3, 2009."
However look at this picture and tell me what do you think Presidet Obama was thinking. My thoughts are:
Ain't this some bull! I wasn't elected President of the Nation of Hip Hop.
Was he expecting Mr. T? I pity the fool....
Naw, you really shouldn't have.
Somebody call Timothy, find out how much gold is selling for today. We might be able to save a GM dealership in Motown.
Umm, never to early to plan for Christmas. Let's see I can give Michelle the sunflower looking thing, she loves those bigger than the sun flower thingys, broach for her mama with teh palm tree looking piece and matching necklace and braceletts. Wrap it up and stick it in one of those 50 closets, until Christmas Eve - I'm good. Reggie, handle that for me.
This is for all my hommie's....
