Obama’s snubs and disdain for Bibi does nothing more than raise his standing among the Israeli people.

Let it be known that The Whitehouse doesn’t represent the American people anyway. Thus, the “snub” is irrelevant.

He already left him cooling his heels once. To busy watchin’ some sports network I think. “Oh, the PM of Israel? Yeah, he can wait til the golf tip session concludes.”

Obama is so childish it’s just pathetic. Not a statesman in any way shape or form. He and is cohorts running the country hate Israel and it’s really starting to show.

As I recall there a lot of democrats running in the last election that wanted Lord Foul to follow the same practice with them!

Their audacity knows no bounds. This lil gem is suitable for tucking away.

And on another note from the same sentence. "..long-standing... principle"? Puhleeeez. d:^)
