Americans sensed there was still a bit of tension between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when the latter leader cancelled their planned meeting this month. The Obama administration claimed to be blindsided by the announcement, but Israels government insists they warned the White House last week. Sources reveal that the prime minister decided to forgo the meeting because he was frustrated over a delay in defense aid. Yet, others say he simply didnt want to visit during the peak of the U.S. presidential campaign.
The bad blood between Obama and Netanyahu dates back a few years ago following a testy meeting at the White House. The leaders simply did not get along. Now, in a new interview with The Atlantics Jeffrey Goldberg, Obama is pinning the blame on Netanyahu. During their meeting, Obama claims the Israeli leader lectured him on the dangers Israel faces. Obama responded in annoyance, noting that he didnt become president without having some knowledge of Middle East affairs. Heres how their meeting went down, according to the president.
Bibi, you have to understand something, he said. Im the African American son of a single mother, and I live here, in this house. I live in the White House. I managed to get elected president of the United States. You think I dont understand what youre talking about, but I do, Obama recounted in the interview.
The president may have accused Netanyahu of lecturing him, but based on the above account, it seems Obama is also guilty of talking down to his guest.

Exactly, he was merely trying to get the affirmative action senator up to speed on how the world works outside the walls of Harvard Law School.
Good...you should have listened, Berry.
That's the way it is with narcissistic personalities. If you don't give them admiration they think you are against them.
“Sources” reveal that stormer is an Obama kissbutt.
Hell....We knew that...
Now let me see, who do I believe, lying Obama or a real leader Bibi.
Alas, Bibi trying to educate O was predicted 2000 years ago. Won’t work no matter how well it’s attempted. -—Casting pearls before swine
Im the African American son of a single mother”
Even from Obama’s point of view, what could he imagine about those experiences would relate to the problems in the middle east?
I hope Bibi spoke slowly and used small words.
Well, it is about like trying to talk to a stump. Bibi is class and Barry is......
You should thank him for letting you off so easy, Barry Girl.
Rich, spoiled children need to be lectured.
Both made a mistake. Bibi thinks he was elected President of the United States and Obama thinks he was elected President of Israel.
Goo for Netanyahu. Too bad Obama was not wise enough to listen.
I never read that quote before. What in the world does that have to do with the price of eggs?
Quite the Statesmen, this wonderboy.
I managed to get elected president of the United States.
Yup. That is and indictment on the United States people, not an affirmation of Obama's abilities (other than being a Grifter Maximus, I am not sure what those would be).
You think I dont understand what youre talking about, but I do
If you have to whine to someone to convince them that you understand something, you probably don't... And in Obama's case, I'd say he definitely did not, and does not.
In his last days as a lame suck, Hussein can’t point fast enough casting blame every where he turns. He’s always done it, but it’s become rapid fire in the last few weeks. He’s going out his way to prove the narcissist charge.
Need a poster of That !
What a baby, classless baby.
Because, that's what liberals do.
Leave it to the Narcissist in Chief Obozo to go off on a stupid tangent about himself during talks with the leader of an important ally.
Hey Obozo, nobody cares about your childhood. Grow up, quit whining and try to stay on topic. How many days left until this joke of a president leaves office?
