Hey, who says President Bush isn' t trying to lower gasoline prices?
Here he's seen with Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia leading him by the hand down the Rose Garden path.
I guess he's about to take one for the team, possibly in the famous den of iniquity, The Oval Office.
Things must have worked out OK since it was announced that efforts would be made by the Saudis to lower the cost of crude oil. The Prince and his aides look quite contented as they relax afterwards at a Crawford Texas restaurant.
Check out the look of contentment on their faces in the photo on "The Hindu."
I really enjoy reading your weblog everyday…I do feel the need to post a comment on this entry, though.
In our western eyes, it looks a little funny to see the pres walking hand-in-hand with the prince (and I agree that they do look pretty darn content), but in Arab countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, men show their friendship by holding hands as they walk around. It is a very common practice, and I’m sure the pres was instructed to show Abdullah (and the Arab world) his friendship.
Hi Gretchen: You’re right of course, but I just couldn’t let that photo go by without having a bit of fun with it.
Thanks for your kind comments and support! Jim
