Tomorrow we get the list of gifts the Obama regime received from foreign leaders. I think it’s quite telling what the Saudis gave Hillary. While her jewels will be transferred to the GSA now that she’s no longer SecState, I’m sure she enjoyed them while on the job. Who knows, maybe she would have preferred a case of Corona. As I mention on Tammy Radio, our politicians are more enamored with the gifts and money Middle Eastern tyrants toss their way than they are with our great nation’s well-being, it’s that simple.
World leaders lavished President Obama and top administration officials with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewels, artwork and other extravagant gifts last year, the State Department disclosed Thursday.
Most of the gifts are turned over to the National Archives and Records Administration or the General Services Administration (GSA), though recipients are allowed to retain many for official use or buy them for their personal collections.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appears to have received the most expensive gift, described as “white gold jewelry with teardrop rubies and diamonds containing a necklace, a bracelet, earrings, and a ring.”
Bestowed upon Clinton by King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, the jewelry is valued at half a million dollars. It is pending transfer to the GSA, according to the State Department.
The complete list of 2012 gifts, to be published in Friday’s Federal Register, includes dozens of gifts to the president. They range from the relatively modest – a 41-inch saber from the president of Mongolia, valued at $440 – to elaborate presentations, such as a collection of art, photographs and other items from Italy, valued at $124,000.
Bottles of liquor were among the gifts from then-Mexican President Felipe Calderon; the vice president of the People’s Republic of China autographed a red, white and blue basketball for the renowned hoops fan; and British Prime Minister David Cameron gave him a custom table tennis set with U.S. and U.K. decals and paddles.
Descriptions of each of the gifts to White House, agency and military officials was accompanied by the blanket justification that, “Non-acceptance would cause embarrassment to donor and U.S. Government.”
Ugh. Am about to throw up.

Gender Apartheid

“The ruling is based on Islamic laws that a father cannot be executed for murdering his children, nor can husbands be executed for murdering their wives, activists said….” <–applies to so much over there, including torturing children and women to death."
religious atrocities – Saudi Arabia: Islamist cleric rapes, tortures, kills 5-year-old daughter…
“Gift” – the german word for poison.
“Hillary” – the American word for traitor-to-women.
Whee! Time for another GSA conference.
“Lipstick on a pig”, My apologies to pigs….
She could make a belt buckle out of it to hold her pants suit up.
All I have to say is “What was she thinking when she put that thing on?” Really. Huma should have lost her job over that crime. It ought to be a crime to dress that way and represent the US. Was this thing a gift too? Cuz that’s the embarrassment.
No wonder Bill runs around. Would you kiss that cow? That just says “I don’t care”.
I think it is very “creative” to wear 500K worth of jewelry together with a shower-curtain-dress. It’s such an “eclectic” look 🙂
I dunno, her shower curtain is so versatile. Appears to encompass multiple food groups, several color chords…. should go with darn near anything. You said she got this outfit at Walmart?
The jewelry is a belated “thank you” gift for helping Muslims infiltrate Russian and other European territories during the Clinton intervention in Kosovo/Serbia. Just wonder if Susan Rice and Madeline Albright received similar “gifts”? 😉
When I first saw that picture of her, I really didn’t think it was her. My goodness what a mess. With people like her, and Obama representing our country, it’s no wonder we’re sinking in the quicksand.
