Have You Noticed What’s Been Different About Netanyahu’s White House Visits Compared with Other
The Blaze ^ | 9/30/13 | Fred Lucas

Posted on 09/30/2013 10:31:04 AM PDT by Nachum

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address a few pool reporters in the White House Oval Office after meeting with President Barack Obama on Monday — consistent with Netanyahu’s past visits to the White House, but not consistent with the visits of several other world leaders who held full-blown joint press conferences with Obama in front of the entire White House press corps.

The White House schedule for Monday does not specify whether the two leaders – who have sometimes been at odds – will take questions from the foreign and domestic press. Considering Israel’s status as a major ally of the United States particularly in Middle Eastern affairs, the newly-announced U.S. dialogue with Iran and the international move to dismantle the Syrian chemical weapons arsenal, it would be curious if they don’t take questions.

But the lack of a big Q&A session isn’t nothing new when it comes to Netanyahu and his visits to the United States.

When Netanyahu visited the White House in 2009 and 2010, Obama and Netanyahu had limited press availabilities for the pooled reporters in the Oval Office, taking questions from the media.

On May 20, 2011 the two had an awkward meeting in the Oval Office that came shortly after Obama called for Israel to return to its 1967 borders. They didn’t take questions from the press.

Netanyahu visited the White House on March 5, 2012 where neither took questions from the press after making their statements in the Oval Office.

As long as Dali Lama has as one of his goals is the Independence of Tibet, he will always be treated to the back door/garbage/no press.

Can't offend the Chinese or Islamonazis, don-cha know.......

Agreed.

But Obama is not a communist.Obama is a fascist, and passes every diagnostic test of history as a fascist.If he is to be defeated, its important to know that Obama is a fascist.
This is why Putin holds only contempt for Obama, Putin IS a communist, and communists detest fascists.

If you do not like using the word fascist in relation to Obama, then “coercive utopian” is a good substitute.

Good read on Obama Fascism:

B. Hussein O. does not tell anyone the truth - he is incapable of anything but lies.

Its it especially okay for Islamists to tell lies to the Infidels.

Keep an eye out for future deals-concessions that Israel agrees to...... I think he will cave to the concessions.

Obama will lose his “creds” with his MB homies.

Netanyahu is not Israel’s Head of State — he’s the Head of Government. President Shimon Peres is the Head of State.

That’s an important distinction, where protocol for visiting dignitaries is concerned. For instance, Canada’s Head of State is our PM Stephen Harper. Our Head of Government is HRH Queen Elizabeth II (who is also Head of 15 other States). A visit from the Queen involves a lot more pomp and circumstance than a visit from a PM.

In the USA, the President is both Head of State and Head of Government; but, that’s not a common arrangement. (AFAIK, Cuba and Uruguay are the only other countries with a combined HoS and HoG.)

Is that photo real?!

Is that real garbage or photoshopped?

Is any of it photoshopped?

Pretty disgraceful if photo is accurate.

If not true, it is symbolic of Obama policy toward Dali Lama and the Dali Lama's hope to free Tibet.

Obama can't offend the Chinese Communists.

If Obama is not the most fervent Anti-Semitic on the planet he is surely a close second to whoever is.

Obama=>Dolt I would not go that far. Obama is a lot of things, but dumb and stupid are not one of the. Obama accomplished more in one year than the Clintons could do in eight years; to wit]socialized medicine. Obama has also done more to destroy the United States than all the enemies in the history of our Nation. And he did it with only minimal, if any, opposition. In the United States he has a cult of worshipers that would put the German Hitler worshipers to shame as far as devotion to their messiah goes.

As much as I despise the son of a bitch and those who voted for him and worship him, I will give him his due.

While Obama appears to be in way over his head, and puts on the idiot mask, he knows exactly what he is doing, and the reasons he is doing it.

Netanyahu is not Israel’s Head of State — he’s the Head of Government. President Shimon Peres is the Head of State.

Peres is a useless pimple who nobody listens to anymore. Netanyahu is the most powerful leader in Israel and is treated like trash by Obamatron.

"Bibi Netanyahu is a business as usual “mainstream” politician who knows about talking tough and acting not so tough."

------------------------------------------------->

Cruz/Netanyahu=========2016

(I know, I know...but it would be sweet! Does Secretary of State have to be natural born, etc.

If not, Netanyahu would be an interesting SOS. But, it would be a major step down for him......

Irrelevant. The protocol for Heads of State is for respecting the State itself, not the incumbent.

You have a combined HoS/HoG, so you don’t think about the distinctive roles on a regular basis.

Think of the HoS as the personification of the state — a living symbol of the State. Then, think of the HoG as just another politician.

It's like the scene in "Band of Brothers" where Capt Sobel walks past Major Winters and just gives a casual nod to Dick.

"CAPTAIN SOBEL!! We salute the uniform, not the man."

Captain Sobel salutes and walks on.

Not irrelevant at all. It is a minor point and a parsing of words for an obvious insult.

Sorry, not buying what you’re selling.

----------------------->

Don't show "O" his file. Just tell him Israel has a "NSA-type of program", too, that keeps on Foreign Governments who pose a threat to Israel.

Lead him to believe that Israel does not spy on all of its citizens - that there are other means to weed out the bad Israelis that don't intrude on the rights of its citizens - their program of NSA is to keep an eye on nations that are a threat to their nationhood and to their people. Let BO stink over how there might be a file on him and what did it say; ever the narsacist, he will demand to have it or all talks all off!

Then give him a file of him eating ice cream with his kids, golfing, basketball, Beyonce and Jay Z. Things like that. But with one or two photos, already in public... wearing Muslim garb - one from 2006, I think.

Also include picture of Michelle "Wide Load Ahead" photoshopped on her butt. Make sure she sees it.
