It's too bad that Barack Obama isn't planning to drop by next week, on his way from Andrews Air Force Base to Cairo, because we've grown accustomed to visits by U.S. presidents. While Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were in the White House, the situation was the opposite of what it is today: When American presidents came to the Middle East for a visit, which they did quite often, they would leave their luggage at Jerusalem's King David Hotel and make short sorties to the neighboring countries. Or at least they would meet with the Israeli prime minister.

Obama Peace Prize Highlight's Clinton's Lack Thereof
Pity poor Bill Clinton. He helped promote peace in Northern Ireland (although the guys directly involved won the Nobel Peace Prize).
