Obama, in Middle East, plays relationship counselor



I liked this one also (thumbnail).

Obama reportedly a hit in Israel. Go figure.

The article reads like a spokesperson's press release; BHO is a "hit" according to the writer.
He's a success all the time if you like him... that's what I "figured" as a read it.
Is it your opinion that the writer is not a fan of BHO or maintains a neutral stance on the POTUS and this is actually a news piece?

The President apparently got the PM to make an apology call to Turkey from a trailer on the tarmac before Air Force One departed. I wonder what it took.

Am i glad we spent millions to send B.O. and J. Kerry ( with a suitcase stuffed with a few billion) to the middle east, now we are sure to see that region all getting along.

Maybe less than you might think. Bibi and the right wing are in trouble politically. The last election did not go well for him.

Interesting how Obama went to an audience of students -- emerging voters who are going to be around awhile -- to pitch reconciliation. And also interesting how they received that message.

I thought it a bit ironic the way the wall of right wing media has been ragging on Obama for being anti-Israel, refusing to go to Israel, etc. and then he goes and has an apparently grand time, he and hosts both.

Not sure what ax the writer is grinding. It's not just the writer's account I'm going by.

But oh well, as you were. Carry on.

So he goes there- it's a presidential trip. Um, so what? It's a "grand time" based on what? Basically it's a grand time based on what the press says... and you are reading a press writer saying it was a "grand time"- or a "hit". How is the different from those that say the bible tells us the truth and we know that because the bible says the bible is the place to go when searching for what the truth is...?

There was coverage of his trip by press outlets other than that in the OP. I was privy to a couple of them.
