Obama Snubbed Netanyahu to Have Dinner with Michelle and the Kids

Quite frankly I am ashamed. Downright angry with our President and disappointed in his foreign policy advisers. First on the issue of building housing in Jerusalem. Do we have the right to tell the nation of Israel where Israelis can and can't live? I would encourage anyone who is either undecided, or in favor of the creation of the Palestinian state to visit Israel and specifically Jerusalem before you open your mouth and insert foot. I recently spent 9 days there and my support of Israel was solidified. But regardless of where you stand on the Two-State nightmare, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vice-President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama do not have any credibility among the Israeli leadership. The VP showed up late for a dinner with Prime Minister Netanyahu intentionally. His staff said it was to communicate disappointment with the announcement of building homes for Jews in Jerusalem. Then when Prime Minister Netanyahu comes to Washington, DC he is snubbed by our president. They didn't give him the courtesy of the traditional photo op. You do realize that since 1948 American Presidents regardless of political party have stated their strong support for the nation of Israel and had the "hand-shake photo" made in the Oval Office. I am embarrassed that we didn't treat Netanyahu with more respect. Remember this is the president who was so concerned with America's standing among other nations. You will also recall this is the president who bowed to the Japanese emperor and the King of Saudi Arabi. But not so much as a courteous visit for a visiting head of state? Times are changing. America for over 60 years has stood behind Israel. Our support is being brought into question now. Israelis no longer feel confident that America will stand beside them. Israel I stand with you and millions of other Americans do!
