Netanyahu Locked in White House Room with Rev. Wright
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Angry with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Obama engaged in a series of petty snubs during a White House meeting, including locking the Israeli leader in a room with Reverend Jeremiah Wright. "Not pretty," said one source under condition of anonymity. Unaware of who Netanyahu was, Rev. Wright regaled him with stories about 'Jew tricks,' and 'Jewey plots' to keep Rev. Wright from speaking with the president. Said the source, "Netanyahu's aides finally rescued him, but not before Rev. Wright called the new healthcare bill 'jew-riffic.'"White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the incident was blown out of proportion. "Our relation with Israel is stronger than ever." Gibbs then mentioned the President's recent appointment of new Israeli ambassador, Louis Farrakhan.
