Newspaper reports recounted how Mr Netanyahu looked “excessively concerned and upset” as he pulled out a flow chart to show Mr Obama how Jerusalem planning permission worked and how he could not have known of the announcement that hundreds more homes were to be built just as Mr Biden arrived in Jerusalem.

Mr Obama then suggested that Mr Netanyahu and his staff stay on at the White House to consider his proposals, so that if he changed his mind he could inform the President right away. “I’m still around,” the Yediot Ahronot daily quoted Mr Obama saying. “Let me know if there is anything new.”

With the atmosphere so soured by the end of the evening, the Israelis decided that they could not trust the phone line they had been lent. Mr Netanyahu retired with his defence minister, Ehud Barak, to the Israeli Embassy to ensure the Americans were not listening in.

The meeting came barely a day after Mr Obama’s landmark health reform victory. Israel had calculated that he would be too tied up with domestic issues ahead of the mid-term elections to focus seriously on the Middle East.

Is dumping Netanyahu what passes for diplomacy these days?

President withdraws to have dinner in private

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it a violation of Sharia for a Muslim to eat with a Jew?

What a guy, Obama. Dissing perhaps our most valuable ally and friend...and at the same time being soft on our enemy, Iran. He just loves tyrants.

[GoCards]

This is just beyond the pale, it just gets worse and worse.

[AppyPappy]

Obama wanted to get his drink on to celebrate

[Guenevere]

Obama is an arrogant, conceited thug.

[HerrBlucher]

What did Bibi expect, respect? If he did then he is not a smart as I thought he was. Obama is the most disgraceful President we have ever had, after we restore the republic Obama must go down in history with the likes of Benedict Arnold, Jane Fonda, and John Kerry.

With friends like Zero who needs enemies.

Well...we know which one who was at the White House has “class”....and which one doesn’t....and I think the world might be on to him...

Another said that the Prime Minister had received “the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea”.

Nah. He would have welcomed that guy, whoever the hell it is, with open arms...

Alright, right or wrong, count me in as one of those who thinks Hussein is really the anit-Christ.

Hitler pulled this type of stunt during the negotiations for Austria and Czechoslovakia. Just sayin’.

[Hans]

Watch the men together. Our President certainly does not like the Prime Minister. Are we allowed to suspect that his
18 or 20 years in the pew listening to one America's foremost gasbag anti-semites might cause suspicion.

No Muslim will be seen with a Jew.

Obama is a Muslim.

[proud American in Canada]

Wow. Just when I think it couldn’t get any worse.

Real class 0B0Z0! You are a class act!

[Voter62vb]

But I thought Obama was all “sit down and communicate” with world leaders??!!!

I guess even talking gets so tough sometimes that it upsets that ittle tum-tum in our wee-weed Sock Puppet??!!

Let’s see, 0bamao has stated that he is willing to sit down with known terrorists and cutthroats but it appears that he is unwilling to sit down with America’s [former] friends and allies.
