Mic Gaffe with Sarkozy and Obama

Not sure if you've read the latest news, but here:

Now, a lot of people are upset by this. I can understand why people would be upset by Sarkozy, but how come blame is placed on Obama? He didn't say anything good or bad about Netanyahu, he just said he has to work with him on a day-to-day basis. Even if Obama WAS slightly annoyed at Netanyahu, that doesn't mean he's anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, or can't reach diplomacy with anybody; people in political parties get annoyed by each other all the time, but that doesn't mean they can't work together when to comes to solving problems. I think WAY too many people are just using this as an excuse to blame Obama, whether or not its good or bad.

I think you're right, this was a private conversation they held that had been worngfully overheard, have you even eavesdropped on some people talking about you, secretly complaining.

We're all human, we can't be Superman no matter how much we like to think we can.
Humans and people in general get annoyed at each other, even people at the hight of power like the president, a mayor, even the Queen of England might even hold a grudge against one of her party members, simply because it's what we do; we interact.

Using words like Anti-Israel or anti-Semitic are probably just overstated and overrated words, now-A-days everyone wants to join in with the angry mob, even if that means wrongly accusing someone who has done a fat load of good to us the past four years.

Politics are tricky; you cant call one person a nagger without 20 million others feeling bespoken at.
