Obama ain’t smiling. He’s laughing. And rightly so.

He’s not even a very good troll. There’s no artful wit, no subtle digs at progressives. Just junior-high level trolling.

I think, I can see, who is the tense guy in that picture…

Yes… for certain levels of intelligence.
But it Pays the Bills
I’m so effing tired of all these false-equivalency memes promoted by the media in the phony guise of being “fair and balanced.” Bibi Netanyahoo was disrespectful to President Obama from day one. Remember when he had that joint appearance with him and lectured him publicly, on camera, while Obama sat there and fumed? The ridiculous speech in front of the joint session of Congress was just the icing on the cake. And, who can forget Bibi taking photo ops with Mitt Romney and all but endorsing him right ahead of the 2012 election. Sure, Obama took a few shots at Bibi, but only after he had endured multiple public humiliations with the tail wagging the dog. No, there is NOT equal blame to spread around, my media friends.

Yeah, it’s all smiles from one of the president’s biggest enemies: the prime minister of Israel. But hey, when you’re here to get even more military aid, I suppose we just have a chuckle and move on.

Once again, you demonstrate a total lack of knowledge about a major issue, and once again you make unwarranted assumptions that totally contradict everything we know about how Obama feels about Netanyahu.

Obama: (laughing) Nah, Bibi, don’t even try to spin it. You played yourself. I tried to tell you. I tried.
Bibi: But, wait, you know I didn’t really mean it…Barack.
Obama: Go sell okey doke to AIPAC. I’m not having it. (laughs harder)

President Obama is smiling a big ol’ grin because he just informed Bibi the Republicans are going down in flames, Hillary will win and–though hawkish she may be–she ain’t no pushover … and she has heavier balls than even Bibi. Bow down, Mr. Bibi and lick-shine Obama’s shoes on your way out the door back to Israel.

Prime Minister Netanyahu was served the traditional Second Term Obama Luncheon of Humble Pie, and after cleaning his plate and asking for more, President Obama gave him a cookie, and told him to get the hell out. Bibi then stopped by Speaker Ryan’s office to congratulate him on his new Speakership, but nobody there knew who he was, so he was not allowed in.
Netanyahu reported to the Israeli press that he had a very successful visit.

Both leaders made statements before the media, and President Obama skillfully framed the contentious issue of the Iran nuclear deal.
President Obama said that during Bibi 's visit the two will discuss, among other issues, the “small” issue of the Iran nuclear deal – gesturing with his two fingers pinched together to emphasize the smallness – and that while it was “no secret” that the two disagreed on the issue, they both agreed on the need to support Israel’s security and to address Iran’s destabilizing actions in the region.
Bibi couldn’t do anything but nod at this framing and this expert sidestepping over this point of disagreement, and he thanked President Obama for continuing to support Israel’s security.

The American public need to question on how foreign aid is utilized. Foreign aid is given to poor countries to suppress poverty and help out the poor. Israel is a rich country. The only intention that foreign aid is given to Israel is to maintain close relationship between the two countries.
