Yasir, That’s My Bibi

Our old Netanyahu joke comes to mind this morning as we read this in the New York Times:
Mr. Obama met with Mr. Abbas and the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, Salam Fayyad, for one hour — 15 minutes longer than scheduled — at the Muqata, the Palestinian president’s compound. Mr. Obama and Mr. Abbas sat down with a Palestinian flag between them and photographs of the late Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat and of Mr. Abbas himself on the wall behind them.
We’d love to see that touching moment captured in a picture. Until we can find that photo, we’ll make do with this …
UPDATE: Thanks to alert reader Jim Hynes for telling us that Atlas Shrugs has the picture. Boy, Arafat still looks thrilled. The guy still giving great photo op.

Barack Hussein Obama. Too close to Osama for too long.
