Obama: Netanyahu Lectured Me When He Came to the White House

Americans sensed there was still a bit of tension between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when the latter leader cancelled their planned meeting this month. The Obama administration claimed to be blindsided by the announcement, but Israel’s government insists they warned the White House last week. Sources reveal that the prime minister decided to forgo the meeting because he was frustrated over a delay in defense aid. Yet, others say he simply didn’t want to visit during the peak of the U.S. presidential campaign.

The bad blood between Obama and Netanyahu dates back a few years ago following a testy meeting at the White House. The leaders simply did not get along. Now, in a new interview with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, Obama is pinning the blame on Netanyahu. During their meeting, Obama claims the Israeli leader lectured him on the dangers Israel faces. Obama responded in annoyance, noting that he didn’t become president without having some knowledge of Middle East affairs. Here’s how their meeting went down, according to the president.

“Bibi, you have to understand something,” he said. “I’m the African American son of a single mother, and I live here, in this house. I live in the White House. I managed to get elected president of the United States. You think I don’t understand what you’re talking about, but I do,” Obama recounted in the interview.

The president may have accused Netanyahu of lecturing him, but based on the above account, it seems Obama is also guilty of talking down to his guest.

So now Obama knows how it feels when he does it to us.

[Resolute Conservative]

He should. Idiots should listen to their betters.

[Batman11]

I think they should settle this by fighting mano a girly mano!

[VRWCarea51]

It’s too bad he didn’t bitch slap him silly.

[mkjessup]

Barky should have listened to the lecture and learned something for a change in his pathetic
loser of a life.

[Dilbert San Diego]

So what’s the point? Obama doesn’t want to be lectured? Obama is president so nobody can talk to him about anything? Is obama just a big baby, crying that Bibi was mean to him and not deferential enough??? What the heck???

[VRWCarea51]

No I am not endorsing harm to a President. Just saying IF he had I would have laughed my butt off.

Why visit a mortal enemy who’s trying to kill you and your people— and who will abuse you if you do come crawling back yet again trying to have a proper meeting? Bibi has finally wisened up. The only practical thing he can do is work at home in Jerusalem to shore up israel’s defenses while doing what we’Re all doing —,waiting out the next 314 days, 8 hours, 50 minutes, and 4 seconds.

[Palio di Siena]

beat me to it.

[left that other site]

Indeed.

[mware]

Yeah, and you left him while he was a guest in your home,, and announced you were going to go eat dinner with your family.

No sense of decency

[Irish Eyes]

I love that picture. It explains so much.

“I managed to get elected president of the United States.”

STILL boggles my mind. It’s only due to the UTTER stupidity of the dumbed-down gimmedat liberal morons. One of the worst mistakes in American history. Epic fail. Bibi doesn’t owe him one second of his time. Obama has crapped all over our allies for 7 years and kissed the rings of all of our enemies. Traitor.

Wwweeeeellllll let’s see, one of these men joined the Israel Defense Forces shortly after the Six-Day War in 1967 and became a team leader in the Sayeret Matkal special forces unit, took part in many missions, including Operation Inferno (1968), Operation Gift (1968) and Operation Isotope (1972), during which he was shot in the shoulder. He fought on the front lines in the War of Attrition and the Yom Kippur War in 1973, taking part in special forces raids along the Suez Canal, and then leading a commando assault deep into Syrian territory. He achieved the rank of captain before being discharged. After graduating from MIT with SB and SM degrees, he was recruited as an economic consultant for the Boston Consulting Group. He returned to Israel in 1978 to found the Yonatan Netanyahu Anti-Terror Institute, named after his brother Yonatan Netanyahu, who died leading Operation Entebbe and served as the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations from 1984 to 1988.

And one of these men was a community organizer.

I’m pretty sure that if Oblahblah had paid attention to Netanyahu when he lectured him he would have learned something valuable.

But of course, all numb nuts can do is complain.

For the love of God and all things holy — How did we end up with this dip$hit as our present_dent.

“Sources reveal that the prime minister decided to forgo the meeting because he was frustrated over a delay in defense aid.”

Something about beggars not being choosers comes to mind.

[Mears]

Whenever I see someone using the “single mother” meme I tune out.

Do they think that makes them special??????????

Those photos say it all.

“Bibi, you have to understand something,” he said. “I’m the African American son of a single mother, and I live here, in this house. I live in the White House. I managed to get elected president of the United States. You think I don’t understand what you’re talking about, but I do,” Obama recounted in the interview.

I thought this was tongue-in-cheek, but I just looked at the article in The Atlantic and it's actually what Obama recounted to Jeffrey Goldberg. What a leader!
