Obama Will Not Meet With Netanyahu During Trip To Washington

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/22/obama-netanyahu_n_6524824.html

Well played Barack, well played.

The GOP wants to do this grandstanding shit and go against years of tradition and protocol to make some stupid statement.

Fuck you, invite him if you want, but you know what, if he doesn't meet with the Pres. it's a useless trip and makes him look ineffectual back home.

Well played.

I think Obama's not seeing him is just the right thing to do.

Indeed, well played.

He does not respond well to classy statesmanship. We shall see how he feels after the congress visit. Braggart Boner may not be able to deliver a full house!!

Netanyahoo is a brass-plated, four-door asshole who has no respect for him or for the US as anything other than a piggy bank and arms merchant.
