Netanyahu and Obama

If it is inappropriate of Netanyahu to represent his country's interests the best he can when Israel is dependent on the US - then maybe there is good reasoning behind all our $$ going to support the majority of countries around the world. If only all the other countries would respect us (and our policies) for that instead of looking after their own best interests.

Like it or not , Obama is the President of the whole country, he was elected. It was a slap to all Americans.

It seems that some people here really don't love their country...

Where have I heard that before when a president was criticized?

To have any leader of any country thet is dependent on the U.S to lecture the President in the White House is disgusting. I have always supported Israel but my reaction was go F*** yourself. If this was done to a Republican President you hypocrites would be asking for a declaration of war. What an ingrate Netanyahu is.

Netanyahu's main concern is the welfare of his people, and going back to the 1967 borders would be nearly impossible for the Israelis to defend. To call the man an ingrate is extremely ignorant.

We all know that was just to start negations, and the borders of Israel would be secure. Ignorant is you absolutists that do not understand how the world works.

Yes, that is one of the reasons his oration and statesmanship are so good.

Is this really the new meme from the left. Never Mind that the Pres blindsided Netanyahu just prior to his visit. You are outraged that the right is not outraged because he was blindsided back.

Please.

Deflector shields on maximum.

surprised not outraged.Crank up the rhetoric ?

I doubt that Netanyahu was blind sided by Obama.....Israel and the US talk frequently and I would bet that this was discussed with them previously. I don't know that of course, but it seems logical. During a photo op it's all posturing anyway.

Clinton briefed Netanyahu a few days before the 67 statement. no surprises.
For what it's worth, what Israel thinks.
