The real reason Obama supports What SA is doing in Yemen is that they're doing it with OUR stuff! Saudi Arabia is the #1 buyer of US weapons! The business of America is business. SA's purchases of our current generation of hardware finances our NEXT generation.

Saudi Arabia I believe, is one of the largest buyers of our military equipment. So I would guess the main hold that Saudi Arabia has on the United States is the military-industrial complex putting pressure on the Congress and the executive branch to not mess around with Saudi Arabia.

The MIC is like the NRA and Wall street, too powerful to confront.
