Well, that’s nice but the real question on everybody’s mind is: ‘How will Bill O’Reilly lie about going?’

This is a president who is generous, enlightened and understands the nature of news cycles. Big trouble in the media today, tomorrow not so much.,

“This is not a personal issue. I think that it is important for every country in its relationship with the United States to recognize that the U.S. has a process of making policy,” Obama said.

Maybe he should hold a seminar about how we make policy and invite both Bibi and Boehner. Neither of them seems to have a clue.

He’ll tell us about being on the ship Exodus in 1947 which took Holocaust survivors to an unwilling Palestine and he met Bibi’s mom who told him her son would one day be Prime Minister. . . something, something.

That’s a nice little dig.
Its not permanently destructive, just temporarily foolish and hurtful. Hopefully our two nations relationship with each other is strong enough to withstand the damage that Netanyahu and Boener are intentionally foisting upon us, says the Prez.

As President and by virtue of being the most powerful man in the world, I President Barack Obama vow to weather this storm and personally guide all of us to better days despite these ill winds and petty games.

Have no fear, the Iran situation is well in hand, no matter PM Netanyahu’s seemingly endless attempts to ruin progress and our own crazy right wing also too.

BIBI WATCH: Obama Swats Away Gnat

(TPM headline revised for enhanced accuracy).

Nauseating.

Our President… stands in his space, states his opinion without shaming the leader of another country (even with a clear and intentional FU breach of protocol by Bibi).

And what has me cringing at the future of our country… some poll somewhere notes that Bib’s popularity in the US has risen over this incident. That is a head banging against brickwall WTF.

President is also banking on Bibi losing his election, so this destructiveness will be VERY short term.

It’s OK. Little of Bibi’s approval rating here means anything in Israel.
