You might forgive Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for feeling a little dissed by The Greatest Diplomat In History. President Obama gave him a mere handshake instead of a bow and then walked out to attend a private dinner.
Really. Fox News reports, “For a head of government to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of. Yet that is how Benjamin Netanyahu was treated by President Obama on Tuesday night, according to Israeli reports on a trip viewed in Jerusalem as a humiliation.”
In fact, the Israeli press called the meeting “‘A hazing in stages’, poisoned by such mistrust that the Israeli delegation eventually left rather than risk being eavesdropped on a White House telephone line.”
Maybe the Greatest President In History was miffed that the Israeli PM was not willing to provide him with the chance to actually earn a Nobel Peace Prize by ditching their construction plans, but rumor has it that Obama was still “livid when such an announcement derailed the visit to Israel by Joe Biden, the Vice-President, this month and his anger towards Israel does not appear to have cooled.”
But does Netanyahu have any room to gripe? It’s not like he is a foreign dictator or anything. He represents a democratic ally and with Obama at the helm democratic allies are a dime a dozen, right?

obama keeps touting that 15 million americans are without healthcare. so he's going to screw over 285 million who DONT WANT HIS SOCIALIST FORM OF "HEALTHCARE" besides how many of those 15 million DONT WANT IT? how many are HERE ILLEGALLY!!!
He has shown the world he is nothing more than a "racist". Dissing Netanyahu because he happened to be born Jewish is just wrong. Shame on all of those Left Wing Supremacists.
Well Netanyahu deserves it... after all he disobeyed the "lord" and "savior" Obama and of course Israel is not a country that is necessarily pro Islam like the "lord" and "savior" Obama, who just loves Islam to the point of actually saying that the US is the fastest rising Islamic country in the world.
I am of course being facetious. I haven't become a useless progressive overnight.
You won't get a memo either. You, your opinion, and your vote isn't worth a hoot to his majesty Obama. He simply "appoints" new leaders whenever and wherever he can. Start counting his Czars. They are appointed, not elected. Obama doesn't care what you or your elected representative think. He simply bypasses congressional confirmation so our representatives "can't do their job" and verify the Czar is qualified for the position. Does the name Van Jones set off any alarms? All of the bells, whistles, sirens, horns, etc. should have been blaring away as a warning to us all what direction Obama wants to take our country.
Israel is a Democracy (like we are supposed to be). Obama hates our Democracy (and any leader of a Democratic Country). Obama replaces our Democracy with Socialistic ideals whenever and wherever he can. It will take years to undo the damage he has already done to our country. We have 3 more years left before we can rid ourselves of that bum. That time can't come fast enough for the sake of our children, and grandchildren, as well as our own.
Does Obama not want people to elect leaders? I never got the memo.
Obama is too green in politics. No wonder Putin mock him and Britain angry at him. Now it's time for Bibi to pay the price for the amateur behave and naivety of the American voter.
This post doesn't really say anything at all. It's a random unsupported comment pulled out of thin air.
I've noticed a lot of those kind of comments on this site.
Well this isn't the first time Obama's sniveling cowardice has gotten in the way of the progress of democracy...
Russia abandons plans for rocket battery as Putin praises Obama's 'brave' decision to scrap missile shield
Obama cares only about Obama, he does'nt give a damn about anything else.
If Obama only cared about Obama why would he want social healthcare? He can afford private coverage.
He wants power, & he wants a monument to himself. Besides, those who supported Obama-care come in 2 main camps...
1.Those who think they are getting something for free.
2. Those who think or know they can go outside of the system.
...good luck in the future when trying to find a doctor & not getting stuck on a waiting list for any major procedure like they do in other socialized systems. I can't wait for the real fallout when Americans figure out what a piece of crap Obama-care will be when there are 30-60million new participants, & after 1/4-2/5 of the doctors say it's not worth it & quit the system. People who can "Go Gault", will do so. They will & should cross their arms & say no. You better have a passport & cash, medical tourism & a medical blackmarket are on the way if Obama-care survives the courts. I can't wait to hear the National Socialist Progressive Demacrats(the DNC) bitch about it when it happens. Then & only then will they learn the fact that CAPITALISM IS BOSS, because you cannot change the laws of economics.
He thinks that the average American will love the healthcare bill and will vote “correctly” at 2012 ballot. Although, if one checks it deeply the deficit will be more than 1t$ and the debts of the Americans astonishing high.
Abe why do Republicans think there needs to be health reform?
I am a proud independent, not a political single party hack worshiping the false God Obama (or any other man on this earth for that matter). I don't care if it is D or an R leading this country as long as they don't destroy it, me and my family in the process. Oh yeah, I do work for a living and work dam* hard for what I earn. I am one of the few that pay all the taxes. I am too tired of supporting the lazy pukes out there and Obama wants me to give more of what I earn to the others. Share the wealth. How about this novel idea? Go get an education (at least finish high school) and work for a living?
