Jewish voters are inexplicably a key demographic for Democrats, and they are not thrilled by Barack Obama's treatment of Israel. Although at a July 2010 press conference at the White House, both Barack Obama and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proclaimed the US-Israel relationship as strong as ever, press reports suggest otherwise.
At a March 2010 meeting between the Israeli Prime Minister and the White House, things did not go so well. VP Joe Biden intentionally showed up ninety minutes late to a dinner with the Israeli Prime Minister. Two weeks later at his meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister, President Obama immediately presented Mr Netanyahu with a list of 13 demands designed both to end the feud with his admnistration and to build Palestinian confidence ahead of the resumption of peach talks. When the Israeli prime minister stalled, Mr. Obama rose from his seat declaring: "I'm going to the residential wing to have dinner with Michelle and the girls."
