“It’s good to get away from Congress”

“It’s good to get away from Congress,” the president said to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, provoking a throaty laugh from his counterpart.

The joke was not the only moment of levity Obama and Netanyahu shared in the welcoming ceremony.

Netanyahu joked that he knew of a few bars the two could patronize in Tel Aviv, a reference to an interview Obama gave in which he said he wanted to wear a fake mustache and mingle with regular folks during his trip.

That poor guy is so put upon. I really feel for him.

True. Think of all the countless minutes Obama has spent on Capitol Hill negotiating with Congressional leaders since he took office over 4 years ago. That has to take a toll on him.

Perhaps Pres Obama could stay there, you know on an extended “fact finding” mission.

It’s his chance to get away and eat his waffles–or in this case, his latkes.

Bibi should ask about the missile defense systems Obama just pulled out of Europe.

Exactly.

Probably for the best. Seems like most times the President and Congress get together, they agree on something. And lately, when they’ve been agreeing on things, my paycheck gets smaller and my workload gets bigger.

On the issue of bho and his trip to Israel. I do not know how to take this article? But if this is indeed fact, this is NOT GOOD IMO!

I sure the heck do not consider bho a ‘king in our time’! Our home has only One King we worship!
