King Barry "treated like king"

So sayeth the AP with this headline: "WHITE HOUSE NOTEBOOK: Obama treated like king". Apparently, it is a big deal with the king of Saudi Arabia welcomes Obama. "His first visit to Saudi Arabia as president was filled with, well, pomp and pageantry fit for a king." Well, the media has been treating him like a king for quite a while now, so I don't see why King Abdullah should be any different.
