"Those are only given to the very few friends of the king, and you are certainly one of those," Abdullah said as he presented the thick chain and large medallion to Obama.
Obama replied: "I consider the king's friendship a great blessing, and I am very appreciative that he would bestow this honor on me during this visit."
Then, as an aide approached him with the necklace, Obama exclaimed: "Goodness gracious. That's something there."
As for that necklace, Obama took it off after a few minutes – and a few photographs – for "safekeeping." -- Telegraph
