Via @MarkLevin, and interesting exchange caught on unknowingly open microphones at the G20 summit:
The conversation then drifted to Netanyahu, at which time Sarkozy declared: “I cannot stand him. He is a liar.” According to the report, Obama replied: “You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!”
The remark was naturally meant to be said in confidence, but the two leaders’ microphones were accidently left on, making the would-be private comment embarrassingly public
And therein Obama expressed the views of tens of millions of Americans. But not about Bibi.

What an embarrassment.
The so-called journalists covered up for these two. If it had been Bush it would have been the bleeding headlines throughout the Western world.
Double standards. If the media didn’t have them they wouldn’t have any standards at all.
I don’t think Bush would have ever said this. Maybe Cheney but not Bush. But Obama has so little class that you just expect this stuff from him…
Cheney loves Israel and Israeli leaders, and the feeling is mutual.
Of course, that is not what I meant…
If Cheney had to say this kind of thing, he’d have said it to Netanyahu himself. Obama is declasse all by himself.
From ynetnews:

“By the time the (media) services at the Elysée realize it, it was on for at least three minutes,” one journalist told the website. Still, he said that reporters “did not have a chance to take advantage of this fluke.”
The surprising lack of coverage may be explained by a report alleging that reporters present at the event were requested to sign an agreement to keep mum on the subject of the embarrassing comments.
A member of the media confirmed Monday that “there were discussions between journalists and they agreed not to publish the comments due to the sensitivity of the issue.”
He added that while it was annoying to have to refrain from publishing the information, the journalists are subject to precise rules of conduct.

Journalists sworn to secrecy about this? The journalists should have said “Mierde!” and published it straight away.
At least Israel knows where she stands.
In ObamaWorld, what is up, is down. What is in, is out. What were enemies, are now friends. What were friends, are now enemies.
The standards, and their vows of confidentiality, apply until it’s something that they want to tell. National security, for example, is no hindrance when it comes to disclosing a policy with which they disagree.
Anyone who doesn’t understand how they play this game, and why, needs to read this:

I find it ironic that this is out online on PBS, the most biased of journalism! (Of course, they didn’t write it, they just reprinted it, with permission.) 😉
Thanks for the link.

At least when Bibi wakes up tomorrow he won’t be French or Kenyan…
But but… they said that Obama is pro-israel, and the republicans in NY-9 were just making things up.
Let me get this straight … Sarkozy shares choice words about Netanyahu with his pal Obama … the same Obama whom Sarkozy called “incredibly naive and grossly egotistical,” and then Obama, the same Obama who embarrassed us all with the Great Dinner Snub, laments, “You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!”
I need a drink. I think that funny scene is coming up where the two stooges use the smart diplomacy reset button.
LukeHandCool (who more and more thinks we’re doomed to repeat some ugly history as harsh reality is neither amused nor frightened by clowns).
This all begs the question as to exactly why Obama has animosity for Netanyahu and Israel. It seems to be more and more obvious every day that Obama is a deficient person who is full of resentment and anger towards people of accomplishment. Why doesn’t Obama publicly state his position towards Israel? That way, we could have a debate on the merits. But no, Obama cannot construct a meaningful position statement because he is inept and deceitful. In addition, if Obama made his positions clear, it would put the handwriting on the wall for the entire Jewish community to see – even though most of them would rather be in denial.
The truth is that Obama’s position towards Israel is not in step with the American people and thus, he must conceal his real feelings. It seems while sitting in the church of What’s Happenin’ Now, with Rev. Wright, Obama felt solidarity with the anti-Semitic sentiments expressed there – for over 20 years!
I can assure you that if I were Netanyahu, and Obama told me that he was going to leave me alone in his house while he went to eat dinner, I would have gotten up and left before Obama was out of the room, and that would have been the last time I ever attended a meeting at the WH. Why did the Jewish community tolerate this blatant insult and childish act of contempt? Their continual state of denial simply allows Obama to continue on with his defiant stance towards Israel with impunity.
Many in the Jewish community love Communism more than Judaism and Israel. So, they will not object to anything Obama, the committed Communist, says.
I wouldn’t give 2 cents of credibility to either one of those 2 moronic bozo’s.. France hadn’t won a war since Napoleon, and Obama is biggest Presidential failure in modern history.. and his day of being kicked out, is coming in 12 months.. and if anyone asked PM Netanyahu what he thought about those 2 bozo’s, he would be already laughing..

If ever there was a time for needed clarity for Israel to know who she can depend upon, it is now. With Iran nearly nuclear, with the Arab Spring turning into a Winter Islamist Nightmare, and unrest in most of the West, Israel needs truth – to know who stands with her.
She knows now. It was never quite known before, just suspected, veiled in diplomacy; but now, she knows. We the American people stand with her, but our current administration does not. Western Europe does not, wholeheartedly.
I pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for Israel.
Bibi is brilliant, a great leader, a strong patriot who loves his country, his people, and America; I would take him over Obama – over 1000 Obama’s! – any day!
I guess we’ll be doing Obama a favor in 366 days if we make it unnecessary for him to deal with Netanyahu every day. I certainly intend to do my part.
Obamaa is pro Palestinian and has been for decades. His buddies are Palestinian activists and he has attended fund raisers with them. Pictures of these events have been shown on the internet. He hates the Jews but can’t come out and say so. If he succeeds in turning us over to the muslims as he wants to do, these liberal Jews who support him will be the first to go, but they are too dumb to realize it.
I cannot understand how some of the American people can still support this guy. He has overstepped his bounds so many times. If they knew of only one, it should be a red light to wake them up. But since his crimes have been legion, they should be calling for is impeachment.
Upon reflection, I think the most worrisome aspect of the story is that the reporters on site agreed NOT to discuss these remarks. The elite press is the enemy of the truth.
Obama has hated Bibi from the beginning (not commie enough for Obama I guess). He stood Bibi up while Obama had dinner (but he couldn’t get away with ushering Bibi out through the trash entrance like he did the Dalai Lama). Then Bibi ripped Obama a new one with his lecture on the realities of the Middle East of which Obama is clueless.
Anyone who has any belief of Obama’s friendship with Bibi is on medical marijuana. Any Jew who supports Obama is a self loathing anti Israel commie (in other words, the fifty percenters of the democrat party).
of course obama loathes him. bibi is 1) jewish and 2) smarter than obama. narcissists hate being challenged.
Speaking of fed up with someone, Bambi….
Have you ever been bullied? Ever been around when someone else has? It only happens when someone in authority doesn’t do their job. The Mohammadeans in the Middle-East have been intent on bullying Israel for years and years and years. When the time comes when the Israelis need to lob nuclear weapons, they might want to lob one or two at the authority figures who have been coddling their bullies. The bullies have run rampant because countries in the West have encouraged them. I’ll stock up on dried beans,
I think it was stage to distance the US from Israel in the wake of Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities… BO only had to channel himself when he said it.
