Hollywood actor Rob Lowe: Obama prefers fruit loops over Netanyahu
The Jerusalem Post ^ | January 25, 2015 | Tovah Lazaroff, Deputy Managing Editor

Posted on 01/24/2015 6:12:47 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

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?

Israel.

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

1:16 PM - 23 Jan 2015

“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.

I don’t know the politics of Israel, but it seems to me that Obamas refusal to meet would be a good thing for Netanyahu.

Bibi doesn't need Barky’s endorsement.
Hell, it might set his reelection back a step or two...

GloZell certainly isn't the one who made a joke out of the presidency.

Thank heaven we never heard of this woman, her bath tub, or her fruit loops. Between her and bHusseinO, it’s no wonder the world thinks we’re degenerate.

Have no idea why the Prime Minister of the FreeWorld would even want to meet with the President of the Fruit Loops World.
