Maybe it was something she didn't say.
Peruvian President Alan Garcia Perez walked out on Secretary Hillary Clinton on Monday during a joint news conference in Lima, Peru, creating an awkward moment for the secretary of state.
Now, if I remember correctly, the Canadian media made a huge issue out of PM Harper being late for a photo op. It was, like a national embarrassment. I wonder if the American media is going to make an issue out of the slap in the face that Hillary got from the President of Peru, or will they bury it?
The White House denied Netanyahu the red carpet treatment generally afforded to visiting heads of state.
The Israeli prime minister and Obama didn’t pose for photos together, and Netanyahu was excluded from dinner with the president Tuesday night.
When Netanyahu wouldn’t agree to concessions, Obama left a meeting with him, though he invited Netanyahu to stay at the White House, talk to Obama advisers and “let me know if there is anything new,” a U.S. congressman who spoke to Netanyahu, told The Times of London.
“It was awful,” the congressman said.
One Israeli newspaper called the meeting “a hazing in stages,” conducted in such an adversarial environment that the Israeli delegation eventually left, worried that their White House phone conversations were being bugged.
Pay back time I guess. Talk about arrogant. Is that a requirement to be a progressive? Arrogant and elitist, the definition of a Liberal. Obama showed how juvenile he is by his behaviour towards Netanyahu. What worries me is that Israel's opponents (which seems to be the whole world) are now emboldened and might feel that they can assault Israel without any consequences.
Who will stand with Israel? So far Canada is a firm friend, but will the Conservatives wimp out like they did with our troops? Will a majority mean more to PM Harper than being a true friend to a country that is under daily fire from Muslims? Will the Conservatives stand firm or will they fold under pressure from the opposition?
This is a true test for the Conservative government. Do they have the balls to continue supporting a nation that is under constant fire from every nation around them? How about Canada sends one of our ships to escort the Israeli flotilla bound for Turkey.
Why did the Peruvian President feel it was acceptable to leave Hillary at the podium? He knew that Obama is weak, and that America has no power. All the despots are taking advantage of the weakness of America under Obama. Can we all survive another two years of Obama? All I can say is good job Peru!

I remember when Hillary made her foreign abortion comments up in Canada, the Canadian media spun that like our closest ally wants to fund foreign abortions and we are breaking with consensus. Meanwhile, it is not American policy to build abortion clinics in Africa, nor will it ever be. The American media pretty much ignored what she said. The Canadian media went bananas. Take that for what it's worth.
As Ricky's dad said in the Trailer Park Boys, "that's the way she goes"
Maybe she just 'broke wind' and the logical step was to let her stew in her own arrogance?
My take on the current US administration is that they lack manners ... good old fashioned manners, like respect your host/guests. Guess they don't learn or do that in Chicago??
