number one threat: President Obama. Now folks, we all know how he greeted Saudi
King Abdullah. [on screen: reports of Obama bowing, 'something no other
President has done]. Exactly! The president cannot debase himself and our
country by bowing in front of the Saudi King. You hold his hand, kiss his cheek,

turn the Lincoln Memorial into a camel stall." --Stephen Colbert
