At Commentary, our friend Rick Richman quotes "this 2010 exchange with the prime minister, after the president had omitted Israel from the itineraries of his multiple trips to the region."
PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU: … I want to thank you, too, for the great hospitality you and the First Lady have shown Sara and me and our entire delegation. And I think we have to redress the balance — you know, I’ve been coming here a lot. It’s about time –
PRESIDENT OBAMA: I’m ready.
PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU: — you and the First Lady came to Israel, sir.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: We look forward to it. Thank you.
PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU: Any time.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you very much. Thank you.
