Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will convene his senior ministers on Friday to discuss the demands made by US President Barack Obama and his overall trip to Washington – a trip that, because of negative atmospherics and amid a paucity of hard information, has been widely characterized as among the most difficult in recent memory.

And this coming from the same guy that said “it’s time that America stops imposing its will on other nations”. Makes me puke.
“For the first time in a long time, the President of the United States is not trusted by our allies or feared by our adversaries, and is respected by neither. “
“Let me be clear: I’m not normally in favour of boycotts, and I love the American people. I holiday in their country regularly, and hate the tedious snobby sneers against the United States. But the American people chose to elect an idiot who seems hell bent on insulting their allies, and something must be done to stop Obama’s reckless foreign policy, before he does the dirty on his allies on every issue.”
—London Daily Telegraph editor Alex Singleton, March 11.
One of the most poorly kept secrets in Washington is President Obama’s animosity toward Great Britain, presumably because of what he regards as its sins while ruling Kenya (1895-1963).
One of Barack Hussein Obama’s first acts as president was to return to Britain a bust of Winston Churchill that had graced the Oval Office since 9/11. He followed this up by denying Prime Minister Gordon Brown, on his first state visit, the usual joint press conference with flags.
The president was “too tired” to grant the leader of America’s closest ally a proper welcome, his aides told British journalists.
Mr. Obama followed this up with cheesy gifts for Mr. Brown and the Queen. Columnist Ian Martin described his behavior as “rudeness personified.”
There was more rudeness in store for Mr. Brown at the opening session of the United Nations in September.
“The prime minister was forced to dash through the kitchens of the UN in New York to secure five minutes of face time with President Obama after five requests for a sit down meeting were rejected by the White House,” said London Telegraph columnist David Hughes. Mr. Obama’s “churlishness is unforgivable,” Mr. Hughes said.
The administration went beyond snubs and slights last week (3/02) when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton endorsed the demand of Argentine President Cristina Kirchner, a Hugh Chavez ally, for mediation of Argentina’s specious claim to the Falkland Islands, a British dependency since 1833.
The people who live in the Falklands, who speak English, want nothing to do with Argentina. When, in 1982, an earlier Argentine dictatorship tried to seize the Falklands by force, the British — with strong support from President Ronald Reagan — expelled them.
“It is truly shocking that Barack Obama has decided to disregard our shared history,” wrote Telegraph columnist Toby Young. “Does Britain’s friendship really mean so little to him?”
One could ask, does the friendship of anyone in the entire world mean anything to him?
“I recently asked several senior administration officials, separately, to name a foreign leader with whom Barack Obama has forged a strong personal relationship during his first year in office,” wrote Jackson Diehl, deputy editorial page editor of the Washington Post, on Monday (3/08). “A lot of hemming and hawing ensued.”
One official named French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but his contempt for Mr. Obama is an open secret. Another named German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But, said Mr. Diehl, “Merkel too has been conspicuously cool toward Obama.”
Mr. Obama certainly doesn’t care about the Poles and Czechs, whom he has betrayed on missile defense. Honduras and Israel also can attest that he’s been an unreliable ally and an unfaithful friend. Ironically, our relations with both Israel and the Palestinian Authority have never been worse.
Russia has offered nothing in exchange for Mr. Obama’s abandonment of missile defense. Russia and China won’t support serious sanctions on Iran. Syria’s support for terrorism has not diminished despite efforts to normalize diplomatic relations. The reclusive military dictatorship that runs Burma has responded to our efforts at “engagement” by deepening its ties to North Korea.
And the Chinese make little effort to disguise their contempt for him.
For the first time in a long time, the President of the United States is not trusted by our allies or feared by our adversaries, and is respected by neither. Americans, understandably focused on the dismal economy and Mr. Obama’s efforts to nationalize health care, have yet to notice. They will.

Please, people of Israel, Bibi... please know we don’t support him. Not at all. Most Americans support Israel, God’s chosen people. He is a Kenyan usurper and I hope Mossad brings out the dirt on him a.s.a.p.
Okay, my husband and I went to dinner and we had some wine, so I spoke out of turn. But not at all about how I really feel. In vino, vertias. :)
What cheek! Does 0bama think he is King of the World and can dictate to everyone around the globe?
Ynet is reporting tonite an Israeli source said that an enraged Obama – whos’s response was so strong, Netanyahu “did not understand what Obama wanted from him”.
Like the Kenyan Klown!
What a low-class act coming from our pResident.
He shames us all.
What are we to do about it?
He gives horrible gifts to other leaders and then snubs this leader IN our WH?
Just who is in charge of protocol in this WH? Rev Wright?
This is really bad.
thanks...use as much as you like :)
I really wish Netanyahu would put this Jack Squat in his place. The time is now, Netanyahu.....now.
See my post just above yours! I think he just did! :-)
Ynet is reporting tonite that Bibi and his cabinet will only give their reply to obama AFTER Passover - which begins as sunset on Monday, and lasts 7 days
“I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12: 2-3)
lol
I want to apologize to Bibi for the way the president of the UNITED STATES is treating him and Israel.
If he’ll happily ruin OUR country, he’ll happily ruin Israel.
Ignore the stupid sonofabitch...real Americans LOVE Israel.
If Israel does not nuke Iran’s nukes before they go active, the Israel deserves to get nuked.
There are only so many “concessions for peace” with Muslims before the Muslims exterminate the conceders.
Ever get the feeligg bo is taking America through the gates of hell?
