#2 Forget about it Bibi, Champ isn't going to attend national security meetings and he isn't going to deal with anything before election time. He is voting "Present" despite not being present. Obama is a caricature of a President.

#4 Looks like the WH is once again again in "damage control".

That sound the Bammer + Admin is hearing is the sound of the Jewish-American vote in November flying away, + prolly many of the pro-Israel Catholic + Protestant, etal. vote as well.

#5 Unlike most politicians, O doesn't have the stones to look someone he's screwed in the eye, shake his hand and pretend nothing ever happened.

#6 Bibi should publicly meet with Romney and proclaim how the Democrats do not deserve the Jewish vote.

#7 Besides, Bibi probably keeps handing him his a$$ on a platter every time they tangle.

#8 IMO ... This is possibly one of the worst decisions by the US administration in 2012. Do they really expect no consequences with Israel??
