7 People Obama Has Agreed to Meet With (Not Named Netanyahu)

I think this article pretty well sums up the priority list of
Obama. My apologies for not adding the pictures but you can
click on the link below to view if you so desire. The one with
Obama wearing a crown with the girl scouts is priceless
--- Quote ---
> Citing a “long-standing practice” that precludes American
presidents from meeting with heads of state on the eve of their
elections, the White House announced this week President Obama
has declined to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu when he comes to Washington in March to advocate for
new sanctions against Iran.
>
> House Speaker John Boehner had just announced he invited the
Israeli leader to address Congress without consulting the White
House -- perceived to be a dig at the president, who promised in
his State of the Union address on Tuesday to veto any new
sanctions. (For his part, Boehner said, “I don't believe I'm
poking anyone in the eye.”)
> Obama’s National Security Council spokeswoman said Thursday
that, even though the president has met with Netanyahu several
times at the White House in the past, the administration is
seeking to “avoid the appearance of influencing a democratic
election in a foreign country.”
>
> The Israeli elections come just two weeks after Netanyahu is
slated to visit Washington.
>
> “The president has spent more time talking to Prime Minister
Netanyahu than any other world leader,” White House Press
Secretary Josh Earnest stressed to reporters Friday. “This
president has certainly not allowed the disagreement over our
Iran approach to in any way shake the commitment of the United
States to the national security of Israel.”
>
> Regardless of the reasoning, here are some of the other people
the president has carved out time in his schedule to see. That
list includes a woman who bathes in cereal, several pop stars
and a man who’s TV show concept revolves around green leafy
plants:
>
> 1. GloZell Green
>
> This Los Angeles comedian, who calls herself the “Queen of
YouTube,” scored a coveted interview with Obama this week.
GloZell, who posts videos of hijinks such as attempting the
cinnamon challenge and eating Fruit Loops in a bathtub full of
milk, interviewed the president on more serious topics such as
Cuba and race relations.
>
> 2. Katy Perry
>
> Singer Katy Perry -- of “Firework,” “Roar,” and “Teenage
Dream” fame -- is one of the president’s “favorite people.”
Perhaps that’s why he agreed to meet with the pop star at a
White House gala celebrating the Special Olympics in July 2014
with her Republican mother in tow.
>
> 3. Zach Galifianakis
>
> In March 2014, Obama sat down with “Between Two Ferns”
comedian Zach Galifianakis to plug healthcare.gov. The decidedly
irreverent interview, aired on the website “Funny or Die,” was
panned by some as “beneath the dignity of the office.” But
according to then-Press Secretary Jay Carney, the video was
designed “to reach Americans where they live." “It’s fair to say
that I wouldn’t be with you here today if I didn’t had something
to plug,” Obama deadpanned on the show.
>
> 4. George Clooney
>
> In October 2010, the president met up with George Clooney to
discuss U.S. involvement in southern Sudan. The president called
the movie star a “a good man and a good friend,” as well as a
“terrific advocate on behalf of the people in Darfur.”
>
> 5. Beyoncé and Jay Z
>
> Power couple Bey and Jay have rubbed elbows with the president
and the first lady a few times. Obama tweeted out this picture
from a fundraiser at Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club back in 2012.
>
> 6. Girl Scouts
>
> White House photographer Pete Souza caught this fun moment
featuring President Obama in a tiara. Girl Scout Troop 2612 met
Obama this past year at the White House’s annual science fair.
>
> 7. Kid President
>
> Also famous from YouTube, 9-year-old Robby Novak, or, as he is
better known, Kid President, got to share an embrace with
President Obama in the Oval Office.

I heard that too. Maybe somebody should tell him so he'll get
off the campaign trail and start doing his job.

was golfing!

To clarify, this is not sitting in a tub while eating a bowl of
cereal but actually pouring milk and a box into the same tub she
sitting in and then trying to eat. Thank God she had the sense
to wear a bathing suit. I have heard of playing with your food
but bathing and eating at the same time? ???
Oh let us not forget about trying to eat an entire mouthful of
cinnamon and what is up with that green lipstick? ???

Meanwhile, I find myself asking who is the one acting more petty
here. Boehner for inviting Bibi or Obama for failing to meet
with him for worrying about a "breach in protocol".
The emperor has no clothes I'm afraid.
He states that the last election was about his policies then
brags about the elections he has won while totally ignoring the
major loss last November.
