With friends like Barry, who needs enemies.

It is not polite to be rude to your close friend in his living room especially when the press is recording the whole conversation.
I think the disrespect was well deserved.

We pay that $3 Billion so that Israel does not nuke its neighbors who want them destroyed. Cancel the check and see Iran become a radioactive crater.

Oh look, PM Netanyahu. Have we ever heard you respectfully say President Obama?

Amazing where people's loyalties lie. Quite stunning

How Do You Feel About World Leaders Disrespecting the President in the Oval Office and in Front of the Cameras?
He embarrassed obama and also taught him a bit about history - ALL well deserved, considering the unrealistic "plans" he has for Israel. No other president has gone off the deep end of palestinian sympathy like this president.

Absolutely. Obama deserved every bit of Bibi's lesson.

Respect is earned. Do you want Netanyahu to respect him for his unearned Nobel Peace Prize?

Just maybe he felt insulted and disrespected, from the President of the United States, have to put yourself in his shoes.

Obama did not have to rush to judgement with that speech. Could of wainted till the Prime Minister's plane at least landed, and they had a chance to talk.

Don't think the Prime Minister was taken back by some of the reamrks that Obama made refering to the borders and 1967.

Netanyahu needs to be taught a lesson. President Obama has been the only POTUS who has the backbone to do it.

Of course. He had to be stunned.
