As the US prepares to start talks on an "end state" agreement with Iran over its nuclear program, US President Barack Obama has asked Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to "take a breather" from his vocal criticism of the interim deal signed in Geneva, journalist David Ignatius wrote in a column published in The Washington Post on Thursday.

Obama and Netanyahu spoke on the phone on Sunday, in a conversation meant to assuage the prime minister's concerns following the signing of the "first stage" deal between Tehran and the P5+1 countries.

After weeks of Israeli officials publicly condemning the deal, Netanyahu and Obama have agreed to send an Israeli delegation, headed by National Security Adviser Yossi Cohen, to Washington to discuss strategy for a permanent agree with the US administration, in a clear shift to backroom diplomacy.

Netanyahu makes a phone call. Report: Obama asks Netanyahu to 'take a breather' from vocal criticism of Geneva deal Does this bother you Mr. Obama? When we complain. A lot.

Sounds like what most of the government/military is going to. "Shut up and color", is the phrase of the day. Fortunately, some of us have enough time/spine to to tell them that the crayons they are supplying are the wrong colors. I predict that withing 5-10 years there will be nobody left to tell them they're wrong - everyone will be Jay Carney...

Wow you are stupid on top of racist.

Ex pat USA cits in Israel consistently vote 86% Republican.

It’s so consistently a Republican voting block the Demonrats interfere with their absentee ballots.

But, do tell why we should punish one group of people because their distant cousins are liberal.

Who said anything about ex-pats of Israel. Most understand the reason Marxist continue to get elected in NY is they vote 80% Marxist. The racist card never expires for you, does it.

I wonder if Israel would like to have Obama?

Well, the last Messiah they got their hands on they crucified. This one they would probably just laugh out of the country.

Ah, like a democrat you squirm and lie.

You agreed with Post 4, that claimed Israelis would want Obama as president.

This guy is such an embarrassment to this country. “Please don’t criticize me any more.” Really? Even Carter wasn’t that pathetic.

It's not clear he actually said that in those words. How would Ignatius know, and if he did have a source, wouldn't he put it in a news story, rather than an opinion column? Here's the passage:

A wild card in these negotiations is Israel. Obama has asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take a breather from his clamorous criticism and send to Washington a team that can explore with U.S. officials a sound end-state strategy. Perhaps the United States and Israel need a back channel, outside the bombastic pressure campaign by Israeli advocates.

It's not clear that Obama literally told or asked Netanyahu to "take a breather" or if that's just David Ignatius's interpretation of events. "Clamorous criticism" probably isn't something he said over the phone either.

Evil cannot stand the light of day. Like a vampire sucking the blood out of his host, Obama greedily feeds in darkness hiding from the public.

Interesting proposition. I’m guessing he said something far worse than chill out, he’s such a classy guy and all.
