What a damn clown. Couldnt talk yesterday because he was busy with Letterman and then fundraising with the wealthy like JayZ. And he is too busy today because he has to do this.....

What a disgrace. I hope our allies are paying attention.

Netanyahu should have thought about that before he decided to try an interject himself into the presidential campaign. Act like a child don't be surprised when you get smacked down.

Is that are role now liberals? To smack our Allies down? Your statement sounds childish if you want to talk about childish.

How come Barack didn't smack down Pitun when he said at least Romney is straight forward, meaning Obama isn't....

You're just proving anyways that he dismissed an Allie not that he really didn't have the time. Clearly, he had the time

Oh, the world is noticing. But see - what folks dont' seem to understand -- the world WANTS America to fail. They always have! For 200 years! They can't stand that we have had a high standard of living.

SO of course they love Obama -- he has brought us to our knees financially -- and the rest of the world is getting a big snicker out of it.

When dealing with an "ally" who attacks your ships and kills members of its crew; conspires to have a U.S. citizen steal its national secrets; is recalcitrant to settle the most pernicious issue in the middle east despite the efforts of a string of American administrations; sells our military technology to one of our potential enemies; attempts to force us into another conflict in the region; takes billions of dollars in foreign aid; and after that attempts to interject itself into our elections... not getting invited to lunch isn't something that I am going to lose sleep over. And I dare say that there are a number of conservatives who share that opinion.

The only thing childish is the belief that in the real word diplomatic snubs aren't part and parcel to international diplomacy. But then again considering the child parent nature of the relationship between the U.S. and Israel, it isn't such a bad analogy.

Again, different strokes for different folks depending on what it is that is trying to be achieved at any given moment, is the real world.

First there is a great deal of debate over the whether or not a meeting was actually requested or whether that request was denied, the facts neither you or I are privy to. But to answer your question I chose to stipulate to the premiss that you've put forth and set forth a valid rational for the administrations actions if it is indeed true that Mr. Netanyahu request was turned down.

How utterly NOT surprising that you never bothered to take any time to research the photo.

It was NOT taken recently, which makes your thread title and barbs in your post so much empty outrage.

The photo was taken in 2009, and the pirate is actually speechwriter Cody Keenan. Obama used the photo in his speech to the White House Correspondents Association that year.

There are rumours of a technology that can capture images to be shown at a later time, as needed. Known as "photography", from the Greek for "light" and "drawing".

Of course, it has the weakness of keeping the image as it was at the time of recording. If, for instance, a US President's hair were to grey noticeably, the preserved image would still show him with his original hair color. For sharp-eyed observers, this sort of observation can help date an image and so prevent them from assuming that just because a photo is published on Talk Like a Pirate Day, it must necessarily have been taken on TLAPD.

Israel is not an "ally". We have no mutual defense treaty with Israel.
