Early frost? White House gives chilly response to proposed Obama-Netanyahu meeting
Fox News ^ | 9/11/12

The White House has brushed aside an offer by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet with President Obama later this month, Israeli officials told Fox News. The apparent snub came despite a state of heightened alert over Iran’s nuclear program and the possibility of Israeli action.

Sources said Netanyahu, though he plans to be in New York City during his brief stay, was offering to travel to D.C. to make the meeting happen. However, the White House apparently said Obama’s tight schedule – the president is in the middle of a feverish campaign schedule -- would make a meeting difficult.

The turn-down comes amid increasing international anxiety about Iran’s nuclear program. The U.N. reportedly has found new intelligence showing Iran is moving toward nuclear weapon capability.

But the exchange between the White House and the prime minister’s office is the most recent in what is seen as a cool, if not strained, relationship between Obama and Netanyahu, despite Israel being considered one of the United State’s closest allies.

One well-placed Jewish-American leader told Fox News that the White House has not yet fully ruled out moving things around on the schedule in order to accommodate Netanyahu – but that as of now, Obama is scheduled to be on the campaign trail during the window of time when Netanyahu can make it to Washington.

Newt was at the convention. He gave a Reagan tribute speech with his wife. It was pretty good.

There can be only one explanation of Romney’s not being 10 points ahead of Obama. Half of the public hates Jews and/or The USA.

I'm convinced it's just that more and more sheeple are gradually being won over by the politics of envy. For generations, leftist Dems have been stroking the masses' innermost, primal covetous urges and splitting the country into a minority of taxpaying "haves" and a majority of beneficiary "have nots", promising the latter that they'll bring justice while serving up the Socialist/Communist/Marxist Kool-Aid.

Case in point, over the weekend I heard Some DNC Delegates Favor Ban on Corporate Profit. Just what the **** are kids learning in school these days, if not the goodness of capitalism???

When the statist leftist Dems succeed in bringing enough of us into their entitlement way of thinking, it's over. We're through. The grand experiment will come to an end.

If the Kenyan Marxist wins in November, that end date moves a lot closer. And as far as I'm concerned, a nation of godless, shameless takers deserves whatever perils might be coming her way.

Think about it, Israel is the SAFEST PLACE ON EARTH. With what’s coming to the world, yes, I wouldn’t mind being there when the $hit hits the fan. There’s going to be trouble everywhere, but good luck to the ones who think Israel is in danger of being annihilated . . . and that means the USA as well.

“The effect is the same.”

No argument from me.

I am somewhat suprised that people think secular/ethnically Jewish people should care about Israel.

I mean, do people worry about Irish Americans’s votes because of positions regarding Northern Ireland (or whatever)? No. It’s just a non-issue.

Now, as a theological matter I do feel all Jews, secular or not, are connected to Israel, whether they want to be or not. Perhaps that connection is what people (even gentile people, or perhaps especially gentile people) feel -— every knows, in their heart that Jewish people should care about Israel.

Who knows. It’s approaching the high holidays.

Weird things happen this time every year.

I find it hard to agree anymore. I wish I could, man I really do.

I know that there are some good people left here, no doubt about it.

Let me put it to you this way.

If Ohio goes Obama, evil wins.

If Florida goes Obama, evil wins.

If Texas goes Obama, fat chance I know but still, evil wins.

That is how close we are to the end. That is how far our backs are against the wall.

That is how outnumbered we are.

And that is just the people. When you include the government is the calculation of what is wrong in this country, we are so far from good it boggles my mind.

New Zealand seem like a lovely place, no doubt, and I have thought of there as well.

But this isn’t about trying to find a nice place to live.

We can’t hide forever, our enemies will find us.

This is about fighting with the good guys against the worst mankind has to offer.

And if it means dying with them, then that’s what it means.

went with a NY rich rich uber rich Jewish girl, we remained friends after we split etc etc etc.

Anyway we were talking over e-mail in 2008 and I said I would not vote for obama etc.
SHe told me and this is her exact words

“Obama will be a better friend to Israel than McCain”
I told her that the huff post etc is bias and that she is not being told the trth about obama and his past .

Her words again

“You're acting like a NAZI, they said the media was biased and you are saying it, you know nothing , you're a NAZI”

Yea I;m a NAZI, I dated her, had fights protecting her, some NAZI I am ARF.

I've not talked to her since but I'm betting that she still has not changed her mind over obama, sad part is that when I dated her she was alright, never into politics but the guy she married is a die hard Dem , even that much so that he moved out ot Chappaqua near the Clintons.

The White House declined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request on Tuesday to meet U.S. President Barack Obama during a UN conference in New York at the end of the month.
An official in Jerusalem said that the prime minister’s office sent the White House a message stating that although Netanyahu will spend only two and a half days on U.S. soil, he is interested in meeting Obama and is willing to travel to the U.S. capital specifically for that purpose. The official added that the White House rejected the request and said that at this time Obama’s schedule does not allow for a meeting

They are tough as nails, no doubt.

I want to be with people who know what freeodm is.

I want to be with people who know what evil exists in almost all of this world.

I want to be with people who aren’t stupid enough to vote away their own freedom.

I want to be as far away from the morons of America as I can possibly get, I have grown to hate them.

And just as an aside, I do not want to be a member of the same species as or living on the same planet as Niki Manure or anyone like her. I really have had enough of this crap.

it's the media which covers for their messiah, most I talk to have no idea the facts of this country, they have no idea about income down, foreclosures, Israel, God being taken out , the turd poking agenda being pushed, no pun there by the Dems now and by their pansy boy etc.

Hell the media are so much covering for him that they now skew the polls so much that even their polls are way out there

“I’m betting the contact has already been made and a meeting already set up. Why announce it?”

The point is to make it a public spectacle and put egg all over Obama’s face publicly. I don’t care what Zero thinks. I just want to gain politically from it.
