CBS News Reports:

Israeli TV newscasters Tuesday night interpreted a photo taken Monday in the Oval Office of President Obama talking on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an "insult" to Israel.

The incident could be seen as akin to an incident about a year ago, when the Iraqi reporter threw a shoe at President Bush in Baghdad.

It is considered an insult in the Arab world to show the sole of your shoe to someone. It is not a Jewish custom necessarily, but Israel feels enough a part of the Middle East after 60 years to be insulted too.

I don't think it matters either way because he was in the fucking WHITE HOUSE when this picture was taken not face to face with a foreign leader.  I know I'm on conference calls all day in my boxers and wife beater. 

I'm happy not to be president, but if I was I'm not sure how I would respond.
