The Shmoozer
September 30, 2016
Former President Bill Clinton flew into Israel on Thursday for the Friday funeral of former Israeli President Shimon Peres. On Thursday night he had dinner at the home of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Meanwhile, President Obama and his presidential delegation arrived in Israel for the funeral early Friday morning.
After the funeral, both presidents were scheduled to get on Air Force One to jet back to Washington, DC, for a dinnertime arrival. Obama boarded the plane, however, perennial shmoozer Clinton dawdled on the tarmac.
Watch below as an exasperated Obama tries to get Clinton to board the plane.
Notable Quotables
"It was the Palestinian mob that prevented Abu Akleh’s funeral from progressing to the church by hearse as the family had wanted. It was the mob that took the body without authorization, which forced Israeli Police to intervene with force to have them return the body to the hospital. Once returned, the body was transported to the church in the hearse under Israeli protection according to plan."
