Rob Lowe can't believe that Obama won't meet with Netanyahu, but will meet with YouTube star.
How is it that a woman famous for eating cereal in a bathtub can get an audience with US President Barack Obama, when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to do so? asked Rob Lowe on Twitter.
Among the Hollywood actor’s famous roles, is that of Deputy White House Communications Director in the television show The West Wing.
On Friday Lowe entered a real-life diplomatic drama, when he weighed in on one of the most serious crises in the often infamous series of political battles that have raged between Obama and Netanyahu in the last six years.
Lowe mocked Obama, for a live streamed meeting he held Thursday with three YouTube stars on Thursday, GloZell Green, Hank Green and Bethany Mota.
In a publicly move that targeted younger Americans, the three YouTube stars interviewed Obama.
A GloZell's video that garnered 9.7 million hits on YouTube, showed her eating fruit loops in a milk filled bathtub for what she called the cereal challenge.
Her interview with Obama occurred the same day that the White House announced that the US President would not meet with Netanyahu in early March, when he visits Washington.
It's the first time Netanyahu will visit Washington without meeting Obama.
On Friday Lowe sent out the following tweet to his 1.02 million followers.

Hold up. Is it true that a woman who eats cereal out of a
bathtub gets to meet with the President and the Prime
Minister of Isreal does not?

For those who aren't up to speed, here is the woman who had an
official meeting with POTUS yesterday.

“Hold up. Is it true that a woman who eats cereal out of a bathtub gets to meet with the President and the Prime Minister of Israel does not?”
To underscore his point, he sent a second tweet with a photo of GloZell face-down in the tub.
“For those who aren't up to speed, here is the woman who had an official meeting with POTUS yesterday,” Lowe wrote.
The White House blamed the lack of an Obama Netanyahu meeting on Israel's March 17 elections. It’s administration policy not to meet with political candidates so close to an election to avoid the appearance of interfering in the domestic affairs of another country, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said.
But political pundits believed that Obama snubbed Netanyahu as diplomatic pay-back for the prime minister’s acceptance of an invitation by US House Speaker, Republican John Boehner, to address a joint Congressional session on March 3 on the need to increase sanctions against Iran.
Netanyahu’s stance on Iran runs counter to Obama’s, who prefers to halt Iran’s nuclear program with a negotiated agreement with Iran rather then increased sanctions.
In a breach of protocol, Netanyahu also informed the White House of his pending trip only after he accepted the invitation.
US Secretary of State John Kerry also declined to meet with Netanyahu on the trip.
Given some of the things GloZell has said in her videos I’m not sure that she did vote for him.
It is, however, those who curse Israel are in for some God spankings. Israel, is the apple of God’s eye - and He said he will bless those who bless her and curse those who curse her. Woe to the elites who believe they are gods. They have a rude awakening one of these days.
It’s about keeping the foreign aid flowing.
Thank you, AnnaZ. I remember when she was a hero here on FR for her ‘08 parody videos. ;-)
Welcome to reality Rob Lowe.
She might be an idiot but I like what I see, not guilty!
Rob Lowe is maturing along that path described by Churchill: If not a lib by 20, you have no heart; if not a conservative by 40, you have no brain.
However, based on his O’Reilly Factor appearance last year, Lowe seems to be straddling the fence between libertarian and conservative.
It’s good to see more people in your industry — especially the witty ones — speaking out against the inane liberalism of Hollywood.
It would be a hoot if Rob Lowe continues to mature and then runs for President in 2020 as a conservative, just like Reagan did.
If Obama could shut it off, he would have by now.
“I will stand with the Muslims . . .” Barack Hussein Obama said it and he meant it.
I’d like to make Josh Earnest eat cereal out of a bathtub.... just sayin’
Rob Lowe must be satisfied with those DIRECTV commercials as a career end
Maybe Lord Eastwood can use him next outing
He’s headed down the Julia Phillips avenue
