Report: Sarkozy calls Netanyahu 'liar'

Microphones accidently left on after G20 meeting pick up private conversation between US, French presidents. Sarkozy admits he 'can't stand' Israeli premier. Obama: You're fed up with him? I have to deal with him every day!

French President Nicolas Sarkozy reportedly told US President Barack Obama that he could not "stand" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and that he thinks the Israeli premier "is a liar."

According to a Monday report in the French website "Arret sur Images," after facing reporters for a G20 press conference on Thursday, the two presidents retired to a private room, to further discuss the matters of the day.

The conversation apparently began with President Obama criticizing Sarkozy for not having warned him that France would be voting in favor of the Palestinian membership bid in UNESCO despite Washington's strong objection to the move.

Zero must have been eating out of his hand. Any anti-Israeli sentiment inflates his dreams of a Jew free world.

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."

He added that while it was annoying to have to refrain from publishing the information, the journalists are subject to precise rules of conduct.

Which, of course, begs the question of how they found their way into print.

It also appears to be true what many of us have been saying: Israel is indeed alone.

Still, he said that reporters "did not have a chance to take advantage of this fluke."

If it had been GWB, they would have been all over it, wall-to-wall.

BTW..Do you think Obama ‘has to deal with him every day’? Barry probably only deals with Israel when he is dragged kicking and screaming into a briefing with Hillary.

Barry spends 100X more time on the golf course than he does on Israel
