Waiting for Obama

Benjamin Netanyahu is loitering around the Israel Museum, sitting on a wall at the Shrine of the Book — temperature-controlled to protect the precious Dead Sea Scrolls within — and biding his time with hundreds of other staffers and secret service agents until Barack Obama arrives, scheduled for 9:10 a.m. The president is a little late

Despite the warm weather, Netanyahu has decided to leave his jacket on this time.

Hundreds of people line the streets in Jerusalem to watch Obama’s motorcade go by on the way to the museum, and traffic jams are being reported all over the capital becuase of the disruptions.
