Mecca, 25 Nov. (AKI) – The grandmother of US president Barack Obama has arrived in Saudi Arabia for the ‘Hajj’ or Islamic pilgrimage to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, a Saudi daily said on Wednesday. Sarah Obama, 87, is being accompanied by a nephew and Obama’s cousin, Omran.
Obama, the mother of the American president’s father, lives in a village in Kenya and is one of the many guests of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud.
About two million Muslims converge on Mecca each year for the Hajj pilgrimage but Saudi officials were expecting fewer pilgrims this year due to the threat of the H1N1 virus known as swine flu.
Obama kan nu dele Nobel’s Fredpris med Yassir Arafat og Jimmy Carter. Pinligt, og decideret malplaceret i en grad, så det ligner brown-nosing. Klimaforandringer min bare – Politisk Korrekthed med Stort PK er nok snarere årsagen til, at Barack Hussein Obama fik denne til ukendelighed degenererede og devaluerede pris.
Den amerikanske præsident Barack Obama har netop modtaget Nobels fredspris.
Nobelpriskomiteen tildeler præsidenten prisen for hans ekstraordinære bestræbelser på at styrke diplomati og samarbejde mellem verdens folk.
Komiteen skriver i sin begrundelse:
– Takket være Obamas initiativ spiller USA nu en mere konstruktiv rolle, når det gælder de store klimaforandringer, som verden står over for.
