Obama The Insulting Child

Actually, Obama did not merely "not eat" with Netanyahu.

Benjamin Netanyahu was left to stew in a White House meeting room for over an hour after President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of tense talks to have supper with his family, it emerged on Thursday.

I'm not a reflexive Israel-backer. To me, the first question is "what's in the national interests of the USA?", so if our interests are furthered, or not harmed, then we can proceed.

Having said that, I am absolutely unable to understand how Obama can "demand" that the Israelis stop building apartments in Jerusalem. The Palestinians generally live in eastern Jerusalem, and the building is going on in west/northwest parts of the city.

WTF??

This is not an issue in which the USA "has interests", period. One might argue that it is part of a 'larger picture,' I suppose. But even then, we should tell the Palestinians to pound sand over apartment buildings and find a day job, or something.

Legal Insurrection has a very interesting take. Evidently the combox for his post on the Netanyahu insult has been almost radioactive.

I think the reaction to Obama's treatment of Bibi Netanyahu hits home because it was so personal in nature, and because it epitomized how the American people have been treated by Obama and the Democrats, with arrogance and disdain.

Very interesting, indeed. At least Bibi knows how WE feel...
