| Obama snubbed Netanyahu for dinner with Michelle and the girls, Israelis claim |
| 2010-03-26 |
| Benjamin Netanyahu was left to stew in a White House meeting room for over an hour after President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of tense talks to have supper with his family, it emerged on Thursday. Good thing we have a President who's so adept at foreign policy ... Over the previous two days, he had been feted by senior Republicans and greeted warmly by members of Congress. He had also received a standing ovation from the American Israel Public Affairs Affairs Committee, one of the most influential lobby groups in the United States. But Mr Obama was less inclined to be so conciliatory. He immediately presented Mr Netanyahu with a list of 13 demands designed both to the end the feud with his administration and to build Palestinian confidence ahead of the resumption of peace talks. Key among those demands was a previously-made call to halt all new settlement construction in east Jerusalem. |

| #6 This isn't about the friends of the US, it's about Barry's friends and who he relates to. Barry could give a rats about the rest of us. |

| #5 Netanyahu can't really retaliate, as they are a receiver of foreign aid. If I were them I'd approach Putin. Point out the 100% UN voting support Israel gives the US, and the fact they aren't pumping heroin into Russia. Putin wants to be relevant in the middle east, here is an excellent opportunity to get a steadfast ally. |

| #3 "Bibi received in the White House the treatment reserved for the president of Equatorial Guinea." This is incorrect. President Obiang of EQ would have receieved a much warmer reception than Netanyahu. He has after all, much more in common with our President Soetoro. |

| #2 Barry is an embarrassment. Even children on a playground have a better grasp of the difference between friends and enemies than this vain and foolish little man does. |
