(602 posts)2. Patience -- it's hard to break into the party here
I usually stand in a corner with my drink and just watch. Occasionally I manage to make a comment that gets acknowledged, but usually in a much smaller group. It's a tough crowd.
But to your original point: Yeah, no big surprise about the award. As my aunt used to say, consider the source.

(15,480 posts)3. Interesting comment following Jerusalem Post article.
Obama sought this meeting to try to show that everyone has moved on from the disastrous and unpopular Iran deal before the 2016 election. Netanyahu can use the AEI speech to denounce the deal again and sabotage Obama's gambit.
I think this is exactly what Netanyahu will do.

Bibi gets to wait six weeks for a slot with Obama now. Bibi still has not learned his lesson.
