3. I have high hopes for this relationship; I like them both a lot. And the King

cut short his vacation in Colo. to return for Obama's visit.

Obama's first trip aboard the new plane was to be en route from Jordan to Israel on Tuesday night.

But before that, aides let it be known that the brief stop in Jordan would include a meeting with King Abdullah. That the king had cut short a trip to Aspen, Colo., especially to fly back to the palace. And that it was the Jordanians who had requested a one-on-one meeting between the king and Obama before they are joined for dinner by Reed, Hagel and others.

In its way, it was as impressive a welcome as the one al-Maliki accorded Obama in Iraq.

4. Very cool - I also like what I know of King Abdullah

I think it could be a productive conversation for a change.
