What is Obama going to do about this?
France was concerned by the sentence and remained committed to "freedom of opinion and of expression", the foreign ministry said in a statement. Officials from the Saudi National Society for Human Rights could not be reached for comment. |

Jump To Comment: 1Obama will do sweet fuck all about this,the guy passes himself off as a liberal yet wants snowden captured and sentenced to death in the u.s.a on his home turf for telling the world the truth about the cia bugging european offices etc.
Obama has done much worse than president nixon ever did,nixon was impeached for his misdoings yet people still love obama(and no impeachment there) cos he is seen as a liberal blackman which is the exact opposite of what he is and what he represents.
Saudi arabia has a long way to go with regards to rights and freedoms,i dont see how 600 lashes and 7 years in prison and possibly rape by prison guards is going to make him think better of his country,it will have quite the opposite effect.
What this guy done was courageous he knew the possible consequences and stood up for what he believed in.
Not many people would do that or sacrifice their lives for what they are passionate about.
