I Don't Get No Respect

Politics could be so ugly. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, went directly to address the U.S. Congress, ignoring President Barack Obama and proper protocol between world leaders of different countries. Obama refused to see Netanyahu. He must be pissed off.  

Netanyahu is against any U.S. nuclear deal with Iran being worked on by Obama. Washington is divided over new sanctions against Iran. White House official says Netanyahu "spat in our face". This new tension between Israel and the U.S. cannot be a good thing. It makes things difficult in the already much dangerous and complicated  Middle East.

Even if you were the U.S. President, you may still get no respect. Remember the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield ? It was funny when he said "I don't get no respect". But when Obama said " I don't get no respect", there was nothing funny about it.
