Obama Tells Netanyahu He Is 'Ready' to Visit Israel
Arutz Sheva ^ | 07/07/2010 | Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

U.S. President Barack Obama said he is “ready” to visit Israel. His reply to an invitation by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu capped off a thoroughly choreographed meeting. The last time that President Obama visited Israel was during his presidential campaign in 2008, when he visited the Western Wall, which is located in parts of the capital that the Palestinian Authority claims will be the seat of its proposed new Arab country.

Since President Obama's presidential campaign in 2008, when he had told Jewish leaders that Jerusalem is Israel’s undivided capital, he has labeled as “settlements” the Jewish neighborhoods in areas where the PA claims sovereignty. After his campaign statement on the “undivided” capital, he retreated from his position, saying that he meant that the city is not separated by the barbed wire that was present when Jordan occupied the city from 1949 until 1967.

.......

Tuesday’s meeting with President Obama fulfilled the prediction by Michael Oren, Israeli Ambassador to the United States, that “there are going to be more photographers there than at the Academy Awards.” President Obama provided photographers positive footage with a lengthy and a vigorous handshake with Prime Minister Netanyahu and claimed that the reports of bad feelings were due to the “press making a story” out of nothing.

American media viewed the Obama-Netanyahu meeting as a political lesson for the president. CBS reported that both leaders realize that although they may “annoy” each other, they also need each other, if for no other reason than the Iranian nuclear threat.

Wow Obama visited during the 2008 campaign; might visit again just before the 2010 elections. By George I think I’ve got it.

If I remember correctly, our Poor Little Victim had his note to G-d stolen from the Wall and published by an over zealous supporter. I wonder if THAT will happen again! Houston... the Messiah has landed!

Yeah,to “arses-up” (aka the Muslim style of prayer) at the Al Aqsa mosque.

“Arses up! arses up! Muslims get your arses up!
Everyday,five times a day,we put our noses in the clay,
At Mecca we say,to thee we pray,only our brains they point the other way.”

Just a little light hearted morning ditty.

I hope the catcalls and boos are so loud that we can hear them over here.

Let's see....what do we need for the backdrop??? Of course, Obama sitting on the wall....casting his "love" over his subjects below!!!

Anyone notice that on July 4th he spoke from the balcony of the White House....Sure looked like the scene from Washington's Inaugeration in NYC....

Obama is like a bad movie...

What Obama doesn’t know is that when his plane lands He will be received by the foreign minister carrying a note from Bibi saying “Please come to my office immediately on arrival”

If Netanyahu can’t stand up to Obama how is he going to stand up to Hamas?

Obama speaking from the balcony with his nose in the air reminded me of Mussolini.

You know, I used to think he was only a type of antichrist, but lately I have begun to wonder. No doubt, Satan uses Obama's huge ego and hatred of truth to further his agenda, so why not take it all the way?

Can totally see it happening with this guy. Who will be the alleged perp? A right-wing religious extremist? A Tea Partier? Perhaps a disgruntled Minuteman? So many possibilities, so many scapegoats!

Bibi is asking himself right now what did I do to deserve this having Fred Sanford and Aunt Esther come to visit that worst than Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown in Israel LOL!
