French President Nicolas Sarkozy reportedly told US President Barack Obama that he could not "stand" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and that he thinks the Israeli premier "is a liar."
According to a Monday report in the French website "Arret sur Images," after facing reporters for a G20 press conference on Thursday, the two presidents retired to a private room, to further discuss the matters of the day.
The conversation apparently began with President Obama criticizing Sarkozy for not having warned him that France would be voting in favor of the Palestinian membership bid in UNESCO despite Washington's strong objection to the move.
The conversation then drifted to Netanyahu, at which time Sarkozy declared: "I cannot stand him. He is a liar." According to the report, Obama replied: "You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!"
The remark was naturally meant to be said in confidence, but the two leaders' microphones were accidently left on, making the would-be private comment embarrassingly public.

So I think this might have been a stunt. The prez is trying to distance himself from the real agenda politically.

Liar, and Congress gives him 29 standing ovations.
No wonder why Obama is complaining about Netanyahu. Obviously Netanyahu has more influence than Obama does among his own Congress, and that's gotta hurt.

"...Now if only more US politicians would "forget" about their mics being on and tell the truth about Zionist psychopaths and their lies about Iran...."
I don't know what's true about Iran, I just know Iran is _not_ our problem. These days, the biggest threat to America comes from domestic enemies.
