That awkward moment when Netanyahu shows up Obama on Independence Day

On America’s 240th birthday, Netanyahu sent his regards on Twitter with an elegant and thought-out tweet …

I admire your history; I treasure your friendship; I cherish our alliance. To all Americans, happy 4th of July! pic.twitter.com/I6bCfnWXTx

He speaks of our history and our longtime alliance and his message will resonate with many Americans on this very important day.

@AmbShapiro @usembassyta Thank you Sir and friendship is the glue that holds freedom together! Many blessings today and always!

Nice.

Now, check out Obama’s Independence Day greeting … of course he had to include a selfie.

Happy Fourth of July. pic.twitter.com/AQHiti7Yye

Forget that it’s the day we declared our independence and became a mainstay of freedom. Clearly it’s more important that we see the First Family silhouetted by fireworks because as with all things, Obama has to make today about himself.
