Obama to make first presidential trip to Israel this spring
President Barack Obama plans to visit Israel in the spring, marking his first visit to the nation since becoming president.
The White House says Obama spoke about the visit with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Jan. 28. That’s when Obama congratulated Netanyahu on his success in Israel’s recent election.
Obama visited Israel while running for president in 2008, but hasn’t been back since, prompting criticism from some pro-Israel groups.

And no one at the airport to greet him. “Hey! What gives?!”

I’m sure the Israelis are looking forward to a nice fat sanctimonious lecture from the King of the World.

Look out Bibi, bho is up to no good. Watch your back because bho has a knife to your back if you turn your back to him. I don’t know how Bibi can be nice to that forked tongue lying snake bho?
God be with you Israel.

Bibi should chat with Obama for a few minutes and then let Obama sit in the waiting room while he goes off to have a nice, long meal. Let the help see Obama out when he gets tired of waiting.

Why, do the Israelis offer a lot of skeet shooting?

I think there are a great many people in DC who must suffer daily with the prospect of having to take seriously a thin-skinned, arrogant incompetent amateur like our child king. But none of them more so than Netanyahu. G-d bless the man for having the patience to deal with the little twerp.

Kinda sad that we trust the Israeli PM more than the American President, but we do. We know Bibi is the better man and, amazingly, looking out for our interests even more than Obama does.

Maybe they’ll imprison him.
Or are all of their politicians spineless like ours?

Its a well guarded secret that Israel produces the best mom jeans on earth. The brand that he has doesn’t compare. Had to happen eventually.

Has Dr. Paul used his 140 character limit yet to express his disdain for Zion?

Note to Israelis: Hide your children and your silverware.

Because of paul, me thinks, Beck has raised this amount and may be more for both killed? Glenn let it rip on his show today about paul and his tweet!

I don’t know why he would bother.
Surely the Muslim Brotherhood has plenty of more competent spies and saboteurs inside Israel.
LegendHasIt on February 5, 2013 at 3:57 PM
Do you think he’ll be pleasantly surprised to see first hand that Israelis don’t actually drink the blood of Palistinian children?
CurtZHP on February 5, 2013 at 4:00 PM
I would add dogs, guns, and self respect to that list.
Kataklysmic on February 5, 2013 at 4:04 PM
I’m sure he’ll leave plenty of time for a visit to Gaza to meet with his Hamas buddies, make plans for future joint operations and whatnot…

Just in time for Pesach. Talk about your bitter herbs and malach ha mawis.
Rixon on February 5, 2013 at 4:16 PM
Something in a drone strike?
Rixon on February 5, 2013 at 4:17 PM
Why would he be taking an Egyptian tank to the airport?
elfman on February 5, 2013 at 4:23 PM
Checkmark on his to do list
Schadenfreude on February 5, 2013 at 4:36 PM
So, if they ones in Israel are worth their salt they will start the war with Iran once he lands and is out playing golf.
Bet your ass he would have the full deal protecting Israle in that condition.
Standing out in the open his his shorts..
