Reader comment on item: When Obama Meets Netanyahu
Submitted by Mark K. (United States), Mar 28, 2010 at 10:34
Obama knows how to play hardball--- with American CEO's and our allies. I saw the video holiday greeting "O" sent to the mullahs last year and was embarassed for us. This week, Netanyahu was treated with utter disdain at the White House, which is not out of character since "O" couldn't find time on his calendar for Gordon Brown at Davos. I thought about the Manchurian Candidate as well and at first dismissed it. Now, I am not so sure.
