Bachmann calls on Obama to apologize to Israel
Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann called on President Barack Obama Tuesday to apologize to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for an unflattering exchange caught on an open microphone at a summit in France last week.

In the conversation reporters heard, French President Nicolas Sarkozy says he can't stand Netanyahu and calls him a liar. Obama responds, through a French interpreter: "You are sick of him, but I have to work with him every day."

Bachmann told reporters Obama needs to apologize to America's closest ally in the Middle East.

"I call on President Obama to immediately apologize to Prime Minister Netanyahu and I also believe that the president should demonstrate leadership and demand that the French President Sarkozy do the same," Bachmann said.

1. Never Any Need To Apologize for Telling the Truth, Ma'am
Netanyahu is a liar, a completely untrustworthy partner, and he has done more damage to Israel and its prospects than any three dozen Arab Palestinian radicals....

9. Why should Obama apologize? Sarkozy called Netanyahu a liar.
Obama just implied that he was a nudge.
