"Washington delivered its rebuke to Netanyahu through a number of channels. There was the extended censure by telephone from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a phone call from Biden, the summoning of Israel's ambassador to Washington to the office of Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg, the condemnation from the Quartet and, perhaps most important, a media briefing Clinton delivered during a CNN interview which escalated private rebukes into a full-blown public reprimand.
The reproofs were reminiscent of the "low chair diplomacy" the Turkish ambassador to Jerusalem was subjected to by the Israeli Foreign Ministry at the beginning of the year. The media was informed that the conversation between Clinton and Netanyahu lasted 43 minutes, "rather than 10 minutes as usual," and that the prime minister barely uttered a word.
Obama himself reportedly worded the message to be delivered to Netanyahu during his weekly Thursday meeting with Clinton, lest the argument be made that it was merely the secretary of state scolding the Israeli leader, and not the U.S. president himself.
A State Department spokesman described the conversation using phrases which bring to mind a teacher castigating a student, not a working discussion with the leader of a friendly country and ally."
Get f’d barry.
This is unreal .. how come none of these stinking liberals ever ask HEZBOLLAH or HAMAS, “Show us you’re serious about peace” ..??
This president was touted as the person who couldl make all the world love us .. and all he’s succeeded in doing is making enemies of all our allies .. or instulting our allies with the most juvenile and stupid “gifts”, and then topping that off with bowing to those whom we consider as not so friendly of us.
God save us from this horrible president!
“Show us you are serious” is the type of rhetoric Ronald Reagan threw at the Soviet Union.
OMG, this Obozo is a never ending nightmare. Pretty soon Obozo will even have the Brits wanting to nuke us.
Benji should tell Dear Leader to go screw himself.
....”using phrases which bring to mind a teacher castigating a student, not a working discussion with the leader of a friendly country and ally.”....
I am enraged! You don’t talk to the leader of a country..any country..as if they are a child..but especially not Neanyahu! Who do they think they are! What absolute foolish and dangerous moves they are making. Do they think they are dealing just with a nation about it’s borders?...That is Gods land and he gives it to who He chooses...Everyone knows he gave it to Israel...we will pay a price for this Bo, Biden, and Hillary are doing...
“..It’s a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God”
There will be peace.
When the Arab nations are all turned into parking lots.
Bibi is not going to take lip off a muzzie like Hussein
When Obama addressed the United Nations several months ago, I noticed that he was addressing Israel as "the occupiers."
Obama was using language at the damn UN that only Arafat and other terrorists have been using for years.
Obama has more in common with Black September than he does with the Israeli or American people.
Please leave office Obama. You are not needed nor wanted.
The Obama regime is pole vaulting over mouse turds.
They get their panties in a wad about a few apartment buildings, while Iran is working as hard as they can to get the caliphate up and running again. Which, of course, includes the annihilation of Israel.
The peace process means nothing more to Obama than another feather he’s trying to put in his so-far featherless hat.
Besides all that, buffoon Biden is such an embarrassment, he deserves to be embarrassed.
Perfect time to drop a low yield nuke on the west bank and then sit back and say, “There, now we have peace...”

This is in the news? What a two bit Chicago street punk. He has the upper hand on this issue for a while, and all he can think about is headlines? If it's what you want, keep it quiet, tell Bibi he HAS to cancel the construction plans or there will serious consequences. You'll be able to chalk one up for the palestinians if you apply pressure firmly, and quietly.
Grovel is not a peaceful demand.
My heart aches over this!
Anyone who would like to Pray about this issue, I invite you to “Pray For the Peace Of Jerusalem”.

Right now, we are studying Exodus, and even the Pharaoh’s advisers are urging him to “Let the people GO!”
FReepmail me if you want on or off the Ping List.
Netanyahu should order a three year supply of all necessary military equipment immediately. After receiving the equipment they should tell Obama where to go since Obama will be gone in less than 3 years. After that Netanyahu can re-establish better relations with the U.S. with the new conservative administration.
Netanyahu to Jack Squat: Do you read sign language? =.=
