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.
Looks to me like the prez didn't know the whereabouts of his own family before he threw his hissy fit, which makes him appear even more clueless, if possible.
Whatever reason he walked out for, he still walked out. This is just more lies coming from the left. I guess Bibi just said he left because he felt like it. I won’t even start on the fact Bozo wouldn’t let himself be photographed with Bibi.
This is the same president that said the reform bill would save 3000% on premiums. If he didn’t have his teleprompter, he probably thought Michelle and the girls were in the house.
WE CAN NOT LET ONE DEMOCRAT GET RE ELECTED NOT ONE .
EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON HERE NEED TO GET INVOLVED !!
The anti-Semite national socialist went to do a blunt and slam down a 40 oz 211.
“such scenarios are impossible, since Michelle, Sasha, and Malia Obama were in New York City that night”
So, Obama just lied. Obama lies whenever he opens his mouth.
As much as I agree with the substance of your post, I really do believe that “liberal” American Jewish citizens had faith that POTUS Barack Hussein Obama would continue to treat Israel as a close ally of the USA. Hillary Clinton did her utmost to persuade American Jews that Obama would protect the interests of the Israeli state as all USA Presidents had done before him. Fact is, the handwriting was clearly on the wall saying and telling the exact opposite. Twenty years of adoring and worshipping at the “church” of Obama idol, Reverand Jeremiah Wright (the America & Israel hater) should have clearly defined Obama’s severe dislike of the Jewish state. And...of course, it is possible that POTUS Obama is in reality, a closet Muslim. Whatever the case and facts, American Jews should have, without question, noted in their hearts of hearts that POTUS Barack Hussein Obama was never, and never will be a friend or ally to Israel or the American Jewish citizens. Shame that American Jewish folks could not grasp this true picture of what Obama really felt. It was clearly painted for all objective folks to see and heed!!!
Should another Jewish holocaust happen it won’t be just Jews killed. Christians will be gone after with the same fury.
So much for that anti-obesity gig, I guess...
So? Since when does the TRUTH matter to Hussein? He very WELL may have said something untrue to get out of the meeting. Gimme a break. This "journalist" assumes Hussein is going to be HONEST???
Lobbyists in White House, no tax increases, close Gitmo, the list of LIES told by Hussein are legion. Why would what he says to BIBI be different?
That sends chills down my spine.
I agree. Conservative Christians are on the Liberal Hate List. Especially Christians who support Israel and who would fight its enemies.
No, he went upstairs to have dinner with Bill Ayers and Rashid Khalidi.
IOW, the usurper lied again.
"I'm still around," Mr Obama is quoted
Only because Nancy lied and you lied and everyone in DC is lying to keep you there. Has the ink dried on that BC yet?
Joe Liebermann, do you have any comments? Bueller? Bueller? Frye? Frye?
Far too often, and wasting our tax dollars.
How many time have we heard one thing out of the benighted white house only to have it denied by the usual suspects?
I’d bet emperor bammy did as was reported, walking out on the Prime Minister when he failed to get in line, but it wasn’t to meet with the wookie or the bammy-larvae.
It was most likely to snort a line or two so he could shake off the feeling he had just been face to face with a man who is his superior in every way.
Was Larry Sinclair on the visitors list? Who is Michell dating?
