Updated: Obama Didn't Walk Out on Netanyahu to Go Eat With His Family 3/26/10 at 09:35 AM Comment 163Comment 163Comments Photo: Olivier Fitoussi-pool/Getty Images
It was an ominous signal when the White House didn't provide photos or briefings after the much-anticipated meeting between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week. After Joe Biden was blindsided by a surprise Israeli announcement of a new East Jerusalem housing project a couple of weeks earlier, the Obama administration was clearly sending a message of extreme displeasure. Now we know just how frosty that meeting really was:
[Obama] immediately presented Mr. Netanyahu with a list of 13 demands designed both to the end the feud with his administration and to build Palestinian confidence ahead of the resumption of peace talks. Key among those demands was a previously-made call to halt all new settlement construction in east Jerusalem.
When the Israeli prime minister stalled, Mr Obama rose from his seat declaring: "I'm going to the residential wing to have dinner with Michelle and the girls."
As he left, Mr Netanyahu was told to consider the error of his ways. "I'm still around," Mr Obama is quoted by Israel's Yediot Ahronot newspaper as having said. "Let me know if there is anything new."
Obama didn't even offer a half-assed, insincere invitation for Netanyahu to join him you know, "I'm going to go eat dinner with my family. You don't want to join, do you? It's probably not your type of food. If you want to just relax in here that's totally fine. You look comfortable." That's when you know relations have really become strained.
Obama snubbed Netanyahu for dinner with Michelle and the girls, Israelis claim [Telegraph UK]
Update: Despite reports that Obama left his meeting with Netanyahu to eat dinner with his family, and others that claim Obama left the meeting to put his daughters to bed, the White House points out to us that such scenarios are impossible, since Michelle, Sasha, and Malia Obama were in New York City that night.
Mabye that Indian actor that hangs around the WH?
So how, exactly, does this change the underlying story? The president of the United States treated a foreign head of state with contempt. He sought to browbeat the man, and he was faced down — he left the room because he had been rebuffed in that attempt. Doesn’t matter whether the darling children were in the house or not. Once again, The One soils the dignity of the office he holds. The next election can’t come fast enough.

BOzo probrably got nervous confronting a REAL leader and had to go poopie.
The Israeli's have the goods on 0. When Bibi told hm that he threw a hissy and stormed out.
Next move Bibi. Wait and see how he responds to the meeting. Where is Hillary?
He couldn’t eat the dinner, they were having Pork Chops wrapped in bacon.
Pray for America, Shalom Israel
There is the possibility that once again, millions of Jews may be murdered because, well, they are JEWS! And one group that might have helped bring this about is, well, JEWS! LIBERAL AMERICAN JEWS! All these years you liberals have been beating us over the head with "NEVER AGAIN." But - you really never meant it did you?
Parse this carefully. There is no outright denial that Obama said such a thing, just the WH pointing out the abscence of his wife and kids. Remember how carefully Clinton parsed denials, same thing here.
And most Christians don't understand it!
Most American Jews would build the gas chambers and ovens for the Palestinians.
Pray for America and Israel
So the slime bag O was eating with Lewinsky????
“Why don’t you come to dinner, Bibi. We’re having ribs, baked potatoes smothered in bacon, and a nice Prawn cocktail.”
If the list of thirteen demands part is true, our president is nuttier than a fruitcake.
Right.
He stormed out.
That’s the scenario.
They were in NYC one day recently ...eating pizza and taking in a show. Again.
This is just a tackic
Obama has a pattern of finding ways to snoob all of America’s Friends and embraced thoes who would wish us harm!
Look how he treated the queen of England, or other allies.
Remember Yasser Arafat was put on hold but for good reason.
Foolish peole have elected someone who has distain for America...
A viler evil than to murder a man, is to sell him suicide as an act of virtue. A viler evil than to throw a man into a sacrificial furnace, is to demand that he leap in, of his own will, and that he build the furnace, besides. --Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
actually that is probably where he went, to roll his little carpet out to worship the devil for a while.
She must have visted these as part of her childhood obesity campaign.
