On Friday, the fireworks over the President’s speech continued as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to chat with the President.  The conversation could only be described as “tense”.

The official lines were they “acknowledged their differences”, reading between the lines it is more likely they “were ready to throttle each other”.

It seems Netanyahu wasn’t the only one ticked off at the President.

In Syria, protesters were angry at both their government and President Obama. Anti-government groups claim that Obama’s speech didn’t outline US support for their cause to the degree they were hoping for.

In a demonstration on Friday, shots were fired at Syrian protesters. 27 were killed, including a 10 year old boy. It appears the crisis in that country is growing deeper.

The Syrian government took shots at the President as well… suggesting President Obama stop lecturing Arab leaders and mind his own business.

To us, this shows that the situation in the Middle East is delicate, complicated, and hard to remedy.

We’re also looking forward to seeing how this will play out in the President’s reelection campaign. After all, Ms. Palin has suggested that she’s got the “fire in her belly” to make a Presidential Run in 2012.
