If you go to 9:00 or so of this video of President Obama meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu on September 30 at the White House, you will see some fairly excruciating moments in body language as the prime minister explains a thing or two to the president. Netanyahu’s legs are apart and his gut is spilling out as he gestures at Obama, who has all but assumed the fetal position. Obama seems to want to be anywhere else, like dealing with the government shutdown.

The screenshot above reminds us how much time Netanyahu and Finance Minister Yair Lapid got from our president and vice president even when they were supposedly working to stop the government shutdown. And is reminiscent of Obama’s famous statement to Sarkozy, “You think you can’t stand him? I have to deal with him every day.”

Goliath author Max Blumenthal brings the Sarkozy episode up in an an interview at Consortium News with Dennis Bernstein, in which he calls Obama the “Bibi sitter.”
