E-mails obtained by Politico show senior aides to Hillary Clinton, as well as White House officials, questioning the wisdom of former president's participation in two events.
WASHINGTON – Two of former president Bill Clinton’s scheduled Israel-related events were vetoed by the Obama administration while his wife, Hillary Clinton, was secretary of state, Politico reported on Tuesday.
The two events – a meeting in New York between the 42nd US president and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as a speech commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Camp David peace talks – were scheduled for 2010. The events were a potential cause of “heartburn” for administration officials, who were in the midst of a push for direct talks between Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Emails obtained by Politico show senior aides to Hillary Clinton, as well as White House officials, questioning the wisdom of the two events. At the time, the State Department would not confirm US government interference in Bill Clinton’s event schedule.
The former president is scheduled to speak at a Yitzhak Rabin memorial rally at Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square on Saturday night.

Doubt it would have made a difference but Obama would have done better using Bill as an intermediary than barring him from the country.
Bill probably set this up so the Obama and beast could make a good
showing for the Muslims by showing total disrespect to one of our
allies. And for his efforts , the beast let him have his Energizer.
Actually Netanyahu was better off since he didnn’t have to worry about
his pet cat and dog getting raped.
As she claimed while running against ø for 2008, does she still have a picture of michelle, the girls and him hanging in her office?

He didn’t sound like a burnt-out rummy with asthma or a horse’s arse, so he made Hill and Lurch look bad.
