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!"
This kind of confirms that the US government gets its orders from Israel. Not that we needed any more proof than the last couple of decades of US military intervention around the world.

What's even worse?

The journalists got together and agreed NOT to report on the incident.

Outrageous!

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."
Can we just imagine GWB getting the same courtesy from the media?

Oh, so you're ok with journalists deciding not to air a comment caught on a hot mic?

GWB shut the media out, for the most part.

Of course you have no evidence of that.

In case you didn't notice, this is a about the media deciding they wouldn't report on hot mic comments - this would never happen to a republican.

Just be honest - you don't find that troubling?

What does that have to do with the topic - comments caught on a hot mic and then SUPPRESSED by the media.

You're ok with that?

Exceedingly unclassy behavior by Obama. Seems to be a pattern there.
