This supposed tension is mainly and only for PR spin job. We wait and see for the real objective of this meeting: potential U.S/Israel military strike on Iran.

This was a great story by Robert Bridge one of the best this far this year I think it was a comprehensive take down on all that surrounds current situation in the Middle-East and not only that it connected the dots on why and how and when things had occurred. This article was truly helpful to understand the bigger picture. Great article and yeah I agree with everything written in it. This article may also explain the great clouds of uncertainty for this fall and the economy in general. The chemistry between Obama and Netanyahu wont be repaired they are clearly two worlds apart to say the least and if someone asked me where I would had in the Middle East Polls (PMEP) on June 7, 2010 I would probably been found amongst those 47% expressing a “strong dislike” for America’s first black president. This guy is not the most lovable President of all time and maybe that make me biased in this issue who knows. I hope America vote in Libertarians like Ron Paul or his son Rand Paul as I am all with the Tea Party nowadays. I would love more Ron Paul or Rand Paul on RT there is a speech that made my day with Ron Paul that was an eye-opener I link to his speech. There are good Americans pity they are never lifted forward so they could bring about REAL CHANGE for the people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s_IUwwGq-A&feature=related

Israel is a base for American geo-startegic and imperial ambitions....this supposedly tensions as PR101 states are spin jobs. As far as 47% disliking Obama, the majority is composed of disenchanted Progressives and the loony birds the "Tea Party Baggers" basically uninformed, ignorant, racist hate mongers, most of them couldn't find their country on the map or name three capitals in Europe. Recently Sarah Palin in a speech praised Ronald Reagan relating to his attendance at Eureka college in California which happens to be in Illinois. Must I say more. 2% of the country owns 95% of the wealth; They own most of the politicians and the media....perhaps they picked Obama to win just to show the world that "we're so equal"!!!! notice!!! Geitner, Gates, Petraeus, Clinton, Biden.....hmmmm seems like the same old corporate servants. Please don't hold your breath for change especially in foreign policy..Russia be ready!!!!!!!! fred,,,,oregon, usa
