Obama snubs another U.S. ally

This is very troubling. Barack Obama, who represents the United States of America, walked out on a key ally who was visiting the White House. Fox News reported:

For a head of government to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of. Yet that is how Benjamin Netanyahu was treated by President Obama on Tuesday night, according to Israeli reports on a trip viewed in Jerusalem as a humiliation.

After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on settlements, Obama walked out of his meeting with Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisers and “let me know if there is anything new”, a U.S. congressman, who spoke to the Prime Minister, said.

Not only was he snubbed, but the fear of tapped phone lines caused Mr. Netanyahu to leave the White House for communication purposes, according to the Times of London:

With the atmosphere so soured by the end of the evening, the Israelis decided that they could not trust the telephone line they had been lent for their consultations. Mr Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, his Defence Minister, went to the Israeli Embassy to ensure that the Americans were not listening in.

This incident should be protested by Republican representatives because Barack Obama is endangering American national security by snubbing key allies while snuggling up to our enemies.
