1. SNUB Netanyahu?
Jim Kendall ,   Kentfield, CA USA   (09.12.12)
How can it be regarded as a "snub:, since Netanyahu is a Stone-Age "person"?
2. The man who bows low to kiss hand of King of Saudi Arabia
ab   (09.12.12)
doesn't have time for Bibi,no surprize there.
3. And I am Santa Claus !
Yossef   (09.12.12)
4. Meeting snub
Irving ,   USA   (09.12.12)
And to think the world was led to believe that Oduma could walk and chew gum at the same time!
5. Obama is not in the real world...
Malone ,   Hfx   (09.12.12)
..simple as that....he's terrified that Bibi will confront him ,which he will...the guy is a phony,worried only about his re-election..doesn't want any problems before 06 Nov,even if the world explodes,which I doubt it will...but if he is re-elected(God forbid),watch out on 07 Nov,when he has nothing to lose...Satan unleashed.
6. Why would Obama meet him?
steve holtze ,   montclair   (09.12.12)
It is clear this man is out of his mind, he needs to see a psychiatrist, Obama can't help him.
7. Obama announces he'll be on Letterman show
Mark   (09.12.12)
Obama announces it on the same day he snubbed Netanyahu. No time for issues of war and nuclear bombs.. Lots of time to chat with Letterman. For those in parts of the world unfamiliar with Letterman, it's a light celebrity talk show where they chat about anyting that will make the audience laugh.
8. September 28
Yisraeli   (09.12.12)
is the date when Bibi is supposed to address the UN. Its a Friday and Succot begins the following Sunday evening, Chol hamoed is 2 days later. I dont know what Bibi is going to say to the UN but can be very auspicious. But chol hamoed a handful of days later is "the time". All predictions for all out war has been for chol hamoed succot. Lets hold out breath and pray that there is a God and hes the God of Israel.
9. President Apology bows down to MB again
Jeffrey in Boston ,   Boston, USA   (09.12.12)
As he whispered to Medvedev about how much more flexibility he will have on January 01, 2013, President Apologize thought to himself "I will destroy Netanyahu and the Jews. I can't wait"
10. Yeah, and Obama is white underneath
Tambour ,   Eilat   (09.12.12)
11. Meddling in US Election
Mark of Lewiston ,   USA   (09.12.12)
Netanyahu is just meddling in the US Election. He has a cell phone and so does Obama. Obama should order 5th Fleet out of the way and let Netanyahu do his thing. Obama should also give a speech publicly announcing and explaining the move as it is done.
12. Why should Obama meet with Bibi?
Elisha   (09.12.12)
So Bibi can sandbag him before, after or during their meeting? The entire gentile world and half or more of the Jewish world does not trust Bibi. Let him meet with mitt and Sheldon and plan a leverage bomb out in a Republican administration that appears less likely by the day. Not since Arafat bet on sadam Hussein has a leader bet on the wrong horse in such an overtly and obviously dumb way. The PM must go!
13. If this is how Obama treats Israel now,
Ron G. ,   NYC   (09.12.12)
imagine what it will be like if he wins re-election.
14. Obama blatantly lied to us yet again.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.12.12)
Is anyone dumb enough to believe Obama? Obama always has plenty of time for golf. But not to meet Bibi! Bibi has no reason to meet the loathsome loser. But the point is that Obama blatantly lied to us yet again.
15. Obama the "freind" is unavailable again, and again and again
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (09.12.12)
16. Obama's 3rd disappearing act!
Benny ,   Iran   (09.12.12)
It is fairly obvious. Obama has been hostile . If it was his Islamic buddy, Erdogan, he would probably throw him a red carpet at the airport & bow all the way to Mecca. Obama has some very strange bedfellows, Muslim brotherhood on his cabinet team! What can the "gullible Jews" expect? He wants to bring Israel to a dangerous point, 67 border. Jerusalem, he keeps flip-flopping . what else is new? Obama needs to read "From Time Immemorial " to truly understand & make proper choices. He is like a "rookie in training wheels" making rash & inconsistent decisions, directed by ignorant Leftists , that he appoints. All his decisions vis a vis Israel reflect that.
17. They can chat on Skype
Cynic #2   (09.12.12)
like everybody else!
18. he prefers meeting with erdogan and the muslims brotherhood
dovdevan ,   ashdod,paris   (09.12.12)
19.  NO TIME FOR A MEETING ?
DA URBAN POET ,   SAFED OPERAHOUSE   (09.12.12)
Yet the President seems to have plenty of time to play golf .
20. BIBI AND OBAMA :
DA URBAN POET ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (09.12.12)
One possible explanation as to why Obama and Netanyahu can not stand each other is perhaps because they are so alike ,i.e. "Birds of a feather ." They are both lousy leaders ,truly awful leaders who have little clue as to how to run a country .They are both pre-occupied with coming across well on television / other media .They are both well spoken and eloquent and they both are a triumph of stryle over substance. Netanyahu has mishandled this whole Iran issue and Obama is an insult to the american presidential position . In the past ,a leader had to be qualified and wise and capable in order to head a state but today ,sadly ,they are sadly inept and totally hopeless. May the good Lord spare us all.
21. He's too busy campaigning to care about Israel
Mahlon Drumgoole ,   Newark NJ USA   (09.12.12)
There is no doubt in my mind that this administration has no intention of interfering with Iran becoming a nuclear power. What could be clearer than the administration's continuing disrespectful behavior towards Israel. First, Obama rudely leaves Netanyahu and his staff to go to dinner with his family and failing to even provide a kosher meal to the Israeli delegation His trip to the middle east was marked by bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia, our fellow democracy that is so enlightened towards other religions and to women. While apologizing to the muslims, he couldn't seem to find the time to visit Israel. Obviously, at this time he resents Israel's concern about being destroyed interfering with his campaigning. The Democratic Party also showed their concern for Israel's existence dduing the Jerusalem fiasco at the convention.Actually, when was the last full day of work that Obama put in? It seems that all he does is play golf, campaign, and refuse to do any of the legwork required to get some kind of compormise with the Republicans. None of this matters to the delusi0onal American Jewish voter. Although most American Jews do support Israel to someextent, their real religion is the democratic party and they willnot face the facts that the administration's refusal to set a "red line" over Iran's nuclear program is simply an indication that they really don't care about Israel's welfare.
22. America will not attack.
(09.12.12)
The United States is coming off two wars and a financial crises that nearly brought it to its knees. It is in no shape to have another go at a war. Israel, this ones on you!
23. OBAMA AND BIBI = 2 MORONS
DA RAP ARTIST ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (09.12.12)
Netanyahu is little more than a whinging ,whining blah blah blah merchant who talks his soundbites 24/ 7 and Obama is cut from the same cloth .I wish these two clowns would disappear from the political arena real soon and thereby do the world a huge favour .
24. TO NETANYAHU : TAKE A HINT
DA URBAN POET ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (09.12.12)
For heavens sake .Does Bibi not get the message ? please aloow me to spell it out to him : OBAMA AND HIS FRIENDS COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOUR CONCERNS AND ABOUT YOU AND YOUR COUNTRY. HE AINT INTERESTED . So put up or shut up because you are a dreadful bore.
25. MAKE ME DA PRIME MINISTER
DA RAP ARTIST ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (09.12.12)
I promise to snub Odumbo ,he sure as hell would not snub me cause I aint interested in meeting him . And Bibi should man up and just do what he needs to do or else zip it.
26. #22 No Name
MR   (09.12.12)
So were the US in WW2 until the Japanese ...
27. BIBI LEARN WHEN TO HOLD 'EM
DA RAP ARTIST ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (09.12.12)
And when to fold 'em ...and stop acting like a pathetic loser .
28. Obama's schedule won't allow it
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (09.12.12)
What's more important, meeting with Netanyahu, or appearing on the Late Show with David Letterman?
29. NETANYAHU IS OUT ON HIS OWN
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (09.12.12)
Or ,not exactly .Mr Netanyahu could always try turning to G-d and asking for support . It is obvious that Obama does not share a warm rapport with Bibi ,in fact he snubs him regularly and Bibi keeps repeating the same mistake ,with little dignity nor self-respect. Netanyahu needs to learn how to take a hint .Obama is just not interested in him nor his concerns.
30. FFS . TAKE THE HINT
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (09.12.12)
Odumbo has ZERO time for Bibi .Has the penny dropped yet ?
