Did Obama Refuse Public Photo-op With Netanyahu?
JERUSALEM – The White House has not released any official photos of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's meeting this week with President Obama – just one of several signs indicating a rift between the two leaders.
Netanyahu arrived in the U.S. last weekend to address a convention of Jewish leaders. The prime minister's office had for weeks attempted to schedule a meeting with Obama, but no meeting was officially confirmed until Netanyahu was already on a plane on his way to Washington, sources in Netanyahu's office sai

Typical obama..... While the middle east wolves are getting ready to pounce on Israel obama is going to show the world his true colors. When they do pounce all obama is going to do is wet his pants. Come on people !!! these middle east enemies of Israel are not arming themselves to the teeth for a sunday picnic.

obama didn't want to next to him because it would show how small a man obama is.

LUCKY for Nantanyahu!
Who would want a pic with dumbo anyway! This man is a man and a not a wauss like bo!
Happy for him that he is standing alone!
Him standing next to a muslim could start something!
Isreal is just as great a country as we are!
Isreal still has it's "COWBOY" and we have lost ours!
Fear of us.....iran is having a good laugh!
FEAR of ISREAL...iran is shaking! BUT they will be OUR BOMBS!
my view
He couldn't make his muslim brothers angry now could he...It just wasn't in his best interest..

Odumbo has shown over and over again that he (along with a couple of well known so called Revs) don't like jews. Hey my Jewish friends, you voted for me, like your dope and chains now.

This refusal reminds me of the insecure pretty girl in high school who won't be photographed with the girl who she thinks is prettier than she is. BO doesn't want to be photographed next to a leader that the he thinks is better than he is. America stands with Israel.
dontastame
If obama gets his wish from soros can someone tell me that Israel will be the only government with a democracy, if we become socialist? The E.U is all socialist, and of course BIBI Netanyahu out Classes the Kenyan.

Netanyahu's IQ is a least 20 points higher than Obama's. He knows that by Obama refusing to been seen standing side by side with him that Obama sending a clear message to the world.
We get it, just like we got it when Obama bowed to the Saudi King. Obama is the Manichurian Canidate and it is going to be increasingly difficult for him to 'keep it on the down low.' In fact Obama's hidden agenda is completely transparent to anyone who can still put two and two together.
Obama is a CINO, Christian In Name Only.

thats probably because the Pres. wasnt even there!!...maybe he was on a flight to Asia...

He is waiting for his photo-op with Iran's leader and Chavez. I'm sure it will make a lovely Christmas Photo this year. What an idiot!

Barack Hussein Obama is NO friend of Israel! He's NO friend of America
rcaamo
Why is there even a question. I am sure we will get all the spin. The truth is...Is anyone surprised?
tinlizy
Why do our jewish friends seem to always vote and follow dictators that hate them and work to harm them. I feel very sad that despite the evidence Obama was hanging out with palestinians who hate jews the people of israel still voted for this crook.
LA_USMC
Netanyahu standing next to Obama give us all the comparison of what a real leader is and what an empty suit is.

Obama is totally outclassed by Netanyahu. He will never have a clue what it takes to be truly a great leader. He will always be a wanna be.

Good move BHO! What they're doing over this downright disgusting!
Okie
God forbid that we should ever turn our backs on Israel. This worries me more than anything that this admin. might do.
njjoe
oh no,that would offend his muslim pals.
Lemure
when are jews going to understand he isn't your friend. He has made it plain he is a friend to Muslims. Can't have it both ways, I'm afraid.
RHM
A recent poll in Israel showed only 4% thought they could trust Obama.
BOSMAN
Obama doesn't like to be photographed with someone with more PRESENCE than him!
AmericaFirst
Israel--Obama apologizes for our country but we apologize to you for Obama. We don't need to be apologized for and we don't want him as our President.

OUR "leader" has no shame-no honor, he could have and should have met with him , let's see a beer summit,golf,a danceI GOT IT! a bagel with cream cheese at starbucks. we are so insecure on a level of fear and lack of diplomacy it is very obvious that a meeting with the Israeli LEADER with such stature and respect in the world would have shined a light on how unable our leader is to talk to him on an intelligent level without a teleprompter! of course he could have sent his new cl - -n-------------- ms. schultz- wassermann in his place!!

God bless Bibi Netanyahu.

Obama doesn't want to be contrasted next to a credible, strong leader.
JamesW62
its being reported that the white house and administration were the ones who said there will not be a photo op
Jaded TP
I'm sure that if would've been chavez, saca, or some other 2 bit dictator, he would have had his arms around him. This guy is a tyrant plain and simple. Netanyahu is better off anyway. I wouldn't want to be photographed with this tyrant.
John-USMC-OathKeeper
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - Jewish... obamanation - muslim... of course he dodged the photo-op.

obama doesn't want his picture taken with a truly great man. It would just show exactly what a putz he is.

Barack, Barack, Barack You just can't seem to get along with others. And you promised all that hands across the water stuff when you were campaigning.

the Jewish and the Christian leaders of this country better come together. We (Christians and Jews) have been fighting Islam for hundreds of years .A lot of our people working in our government now, is Islam. Israel , We the people of the United States still have your back.

Hopefully, the people of Isreal know the people of this country are still with them even if our idiot president is anti-semitic.

Obama miss a photo-op? Not possible.
Loyal72
I cannot possibly imagine the BOwad turning down ANY reason for a "photo-op"! I can, however see Netanyahu refusing a photo-op with him! I also think that the BOwad is not anxious to mess with Ben again, any time soon!
Matty in SC
obama is messing with the wrong country. I wouldn't want to be against Israel.
obama is simply a big FOOL.

It is bad in the muslim world, I mean Obama world, to be in public with Netanyahu. But you can kiss muslim leader....

I apologize to Israel, our resident in the WH does NOT represent all Americans!

Obozo is a disgrace. Israel is our ally yet he treats them like they are trash. I would hope that all of the Jewish people in America that supported Obozo and his merry men come to their senses and vote the bums out of office next time around. We need all Americans to vote for a new President that will truly support our good friend. They will also need to remove any members of Congress/Senate that support Obozo. (Wasserman Schultz, Grayson, Dodd, Frank, Sestak, Specter, Waxman, Boxer, Pelosi, Reid, Schummer etc)

Ben probably told him where he can stick his photo -op! Ben, since or coward -in -chief has no balls to do the right thing, please take care of Iran for Us!
SpitFireConservativeForGod (Gal in MO) ☺
yes, he said he would side with Islaam.
Do we have to wait for the travesty, again?
Who is able to stop this insanity b4 it's 2 late???
SpitFireConservativeForGod (Gal in MO) ☺
hindsight 20/20 of course after the fact.
With everything we know right now concerning BO and his choices, why do we have to wait till it's too late?
