"Venezuela is a country whose defense budget is probably one six-hundredths of the United States'. They own Citgo. It's unlikely that as a consequence of me shaking hands or having a polite conversation with Mr. Chavez, we are endangering the strategic interest of the United States," Mr. Obama said

Nothing to do with class. Israel might do something about these terrorists, and the Europeans are being defensive and afraid. It's what they do best.

0 misses the point entirely. What an amateur.

I could give a rip about what the Euro-weenies do. The bigger question is how nObama’s representative reacted to Iran’s commentary.

[Dallas59]

The Euros walked out when Stinky started in on their history. I would imagine they’re only mad at Pajamadingdong because he’s making deals with Russia. IMO.

“Israel might do something about these terrorists, and the Europeans are being defensive and afraid. It’s what they do best.”

Yes this is true. I recall thinking as I read the article of Norway, and that proximity of the globe overwhelmed by a Muslim populace with intent to Islamize those European, Scandinavian lands.

How do I know? They said so.

It’s better when seen with your own eyes. I’ll be sure to post the photos of our president bowing, fist-bumping, or whatever with the Iranian prez when they meet...without pre-conditions...but with gifts.

“The bigger question is how nObama’s representative reacted to Iran’s commentary.”

The article stated that the U.S. was amoung those boycotting the conference in general.

Did I get that list right. Anyone have the latest?

[Lilpug15]

...and that's the point isn't it. Symbolism matters.

[americanophile]

Does this mean that Mexico is attending, but didn’t walk out to protest the comments?
