Obama, Netanyahu to Focus on Peace Talks
Tuesday, July 06, 2010

Link to article.
| Quote: | Washington (AP) - President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu headed into a White House meeting
Tuesday with the same goal: trying to move the Israelis and Palestinians to resume face-to-face peace talks.
Netanyahu on Sunday endorsed the U.S. call for direct talks between the two parties, just days after White House officials said Obama would push
during the Oval Office session for those negotiations to get under way sooner rather than later.
Addressing his cabinet Sunday, Netanyahu said the "time has come" for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to get ready to meet with the Israelis
"because there is no other way to advance peace. I hope this will be one of the results of the visit to Washington." |
Prime Minister Netanyahu is a better person than I am.
I would NEVER have another meeting with President Obama after the way he acted during their last meeting.
Let's hope Obama has the smarts to at least be cordial to his guest this time around. Starting out with an apology for his bad behavior last time
around would be a good start.
And I am also hoping to hear that Obama wants to work with Bibi as a partner and not bash him over the head with demands about caving into the
Palestinians.
And let's hope he knows enough to treat the Israelis and Palis equally and not treat Israel as though it were the enemy.
We'll see. I'm watching.

The only reason this is being done today is because the administration has been reading lately about how American Jews are abandoning this bunch in
droves. This is an attempt at image repair and nothing more and ANYONE should be able to see though it like it was a pane of glass.

I agree Dave.
Rush was playing a couple of clips from the news conference and the president was saying what good friends the U.S. and Israel are.
Yeah. Right. Somehow his words are very hollow based on the petulant way he acted the last time Netanyahu was at the White House.
This meeting today was to repair Obama's image. PERIOD.
