'What nerve!' Media lapdog ticked that Bibi took so long to thank Obama at AIPAC [amended]

This morning — the day before he’s scheduled to address Congress — Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu spoke before AIPAC. His speech was incredibly well received by the audience. By Al-Monitor’s Laura Rozen? Not so much. One thing in particular seemed to really stick in her craw:

Netanyahu wants to thank most especially members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans. (and the administration)? nothing.

— Laura Rozen (@lrozen) March 2, 2015

so no recognition of US administration yet, and Netanyahu shout outs for Dermer who helped politicize the relationship. Digging in

— Laura Rozen (@lrozen) March 2, 2015

Laura wanted to see some love for the Obama administration, dammit!

Would this suffice?

.@netanyahu “I deeply appreciate all the President Obama has done for Israel.”

"I am deeply grateful to his support & so should you be." @netanyahu #AIPAC2015 on Obama supporting Israel

— David M. Drucker (@DavidMDrucker) March 2, 2015

Nope. Still not good enough for Laura:

Finally. I deeply appreciate all President Obama has done for Israel. 5 minutes in? 10 minutes in?

— Laura Rozen (@lrozen) March 2, 2015

.@lrozen Now he's not respecting Obama fast enough? What is wrong with you? #NotACult

Apparently Netanyahu should have kicked off his speech with an ode to The One.

There seems to be an expectation on your part that Netanyahu is supposed to grovel at Obama's feet. Why? https://t.co/Hu69IW2tto @lrozen

@lrozen What has he done for Israel? You want a thank you. Explain why he deserves one.

It certainly isn’t for this:

@lrozen Because the prime minister must praise the man who called him 'chickensh*t.'
