For a head of state to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of.
Yet that is how Binyamin Netanyahu was treated by President Obama on Tuesday night, according to Israeli reports on a trip seen in Jerusalem tonight as a disastrous humiliation.
After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on Jewish settlements, Mr Obama walked out of his meeting with Mr Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisors and “let me know if there is anything new”, a US congressman who spoke to the Prime Minister said today.
“It was awful,” the congressman said. One Israeli newspaper called the meeting “a hazing in stages”, poisoned by such mistrust that the Israeli delegation eventually left rather than risk being eavesdropped on a White House phone line. Another said that the Prime Minister had received “the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea”.

I day this gay, muslim, communist POS dies will be an extremely happy day for me. I hope it is very soon.
Don’t feel down. God will take care of all this; He is still in control. Obama is sowing the wind, and he will reap the whirlwind. I pray he repents while there’s still time. He’s taken way too many opportunities to show his irreverence. It won’t go on forever.
It’s a trick. Got it pulled on me way back so I asked the admin moderator whaddup. Says banned, but isn’t. Gamer.
I guess so.
Bibi is more American than Obama is, having lived in the Philadelphia area for a number of years. And, apparently, being a natural born citizen is no longer a requirement to be POTUS.
Look again. Get over the profile page.
you may not see Israel as an ally of any value to the United States
I never said that. Simply stated they are not a great asset in the area. Plus they cost a lot.
Having Israeli troops in either of those theaters would be like sending the Pope to take a dump on the Kaaba
That guy doesn't listen anyway. He's got his OWN money.
Israeli regional intel is huge. They could be extremely helpful to anyone operating in their corner of the world without otherwise lifting a finger.
Plus: They are on the Winning Side. (Don't ask me how I know this...it's a secret).
My first reaction was that Obama spends plenty of time schmoozing with Jewish Democrat congressmen, not to mention some of his top advisers in the White House. Many of them are not what I would think of as observant or faithful Jews, any more than most Catholic Democrat politicians are real Catholics in more than name only.
But they are Jews, nonetheless, because Jewishness is racial as well as religious.
Then I suddenly wonder, does Obama sit down and eat with any of them? I really don't know. The news media have been excluded from virtually all of his White House parties, and I don't recall seeing any photos of Obama dining with Jews. Of course, I may easily have missed something.
So, I wonder. Has anyone seen him actually playing with Bo the dog? Has anyone seen him eating with a Jew? I suppose he could do it very occasionally, and then get ritually cleansed or something. For instance, he was photographed with Bo when the dog first arrived, but I haven't seen much of him with Bo since. Maybe he wiped himself off with sand afterward, or whatever Mohammedans have to do to remove uncleanness.
Of course, needless to say, we don't have a "daily dose" of Obama photos here--mostly just ones where he embarrasses himself in one way or another.
Yes, Hermione, runnning to teacher is always an option.
Shouldn't you be educating folks about the fact that they have Congressmen or something?

I understand, who would have dinner with a ..., well, a ..., I know, a capitalist!
It’s all like a horrible nightmare. I would take 8 more years of Clinton over 2 more years of this POS if I had to!
I really believe that Obama is not only a marxist and narcissist, but a true Madman in the likes of Hitler or Mussolini.
[Hitler's] very first victim was Dr. Kurt von Schuschnigg, Chancellor of Austria, a country being torn apart from within by Nazi agitators and also feeling threatened from the outside by Germany's newfound military strength. Hoping for some sort of peaceful settlement with Hitler, Schuschnigg agreed to a face-to-face meeting at Berchtesgaden. The meeting was arraigned by Franz von Papen, the former ambassador to Austria.---On the chilly winter morning of February 12, 1938 ...
[Schuschnigg] arrived at the steps of Hitler's villa and was greeted by the Führer himself. Standing behind Hitler were three generals; Wilhelm Keitel, Chief of the High Command, Walter von Reichenau, Commander of Army troops along the German-Austrian border, and Air Force General Hugo Sperrle.
Hitler led Schuschnigg into his villa and up to the great hall on the second floor, a big room featuring a huge plate glass window with sweeping views of the Alps, and in the far distance, Austria itself. Schuschnigg, taking it all in, broke the ice with a little small talk about the view. But Hitler cut him right off. "We did not gather here to speak of the fine view or the weather!"
Thus began two hours of hell in which the quiet-spoken Austrian Chancellor was lambasted without mercy by the Führer. "You have done everything to avoid a friendly policy!" Hitler yelled. "The whole history of Austria is just one uninterrupted act of high treason...And I can tell you right now, Herr Schuschnigg, that I am absolutely determined to make an end of this. The German Reich is one of the great powers, and nobody will raise his voice if it settles its border problems."
After regaining his composure, Schuschnigg tried to settle down Hitler, telling him: "We will do everything to remove obstacles to a better understanding, as far as it is possible."
But Hitler didn't let up. "That is what you say!...But I am telling you that I am going to solve the so-called Austrian problem one way or the other...I have a historic mission, and this mission I will fulfill because Providence has destined me to do so...I have only to give an order and all your ridiculous defense mechanisms will be blown to bits. You don't seriously believe you can stop me or even delay me for half an hour, do you?"
Hitler pointed out that Austria was isolated diplomatically and could not halt a Nazi invasion. "Don't think for one moment that anybody on earth is going to thwart my decisions." ... An exasperated Schuschnigg finally asked Hitler what his terms were. But Hitler cut him off again, rudely dismissing him now. "We can discuss that this afternoon."
By the afternoon, the 41-year-old Schuschnigg had aged about ten years. He was then introduced to Germany's new Foreign Minister Ribbentrop who presented him with a two-page document containing Hitler's demands. ... This was, Schuschnigg was told, the Führer's final demands and there could be no discussion. He was to sign immediately, or else.
Under such pressure, the Austrian Chancellor wobbled and said he would consider signing, but first sought assurances that there would be no further interference in Austria's internal affairs by Hitler. Ribbentrop, joined by Papen, gave friendly assurances that Hitler would indeed respect Austria's sovereignty if all his demands were met.
At this point, Schuschnigg was ushered back in to see Hitler. "You will either sign it as it is and fulfill my demands within three days, or I will order the march into Austria," Hitler told him.
Schuschnigg gave in and agreed to sign, but informed Hitler that under Austrian law only the country's president could ratify such a document and carry out the terms.
"You have to guarantee it!!" Hitler exploded. But Schuschnigg said he simply could not. Hitler then rushed to the doorway and hollered out for General Keitel. Then he turned to Schuschnigg and abruptly dismissed him. Schuschnigg was taken to a waiting room, left to ponder what Hitler was saying to Keitel.
Schuschnigg didn't know he had just been the victim of an outright bluff. When Keitel arrived to ask for orders, a grinning Hitler told him: "There are no orders. I just wanted to have you here."
A half hour later, Schuschnigg was ushered back in to see Hitler. He was given three days to take the agreement back to Austria and get it signed by the president, or else.

The parallels are TOO CLOSE. Obama is really playing from HITLER's script. This is very bad stuff!
Bibi was not humiliated. Obama exposed and embarrassed himself as an ignorant clod.
Those who bless Israel will be blessed. Those who curse Israel will be cursed.
How many American weapons systems have essential Israeli input? Which intelligence service does the CIA and NSA consider most important?
June, I think. He wants to show mo and the kiddies where he was taught jihad in the first place.
What ???
No low bow ???
You tell me, you’re so smart.
I was wondering why Bibi would even bother to come to Washington and the White House, given the clear messages of hostility from this administration.
Thugster Barry doesn’t even play pretend.
...One evening, during a trip early in 1992, the American half of our venture were invited to V. & T.’s Moscow flat as we were about to return to the States. The party went well and we had the normal dinner discussions...
1992. Same year as the ROMAN OBAMA AT THE LUMUMBA UNIVERSITY article.
My question: What was Roman Obama's connection to the 'Barack Obama will be President' story?
