Israel U.S. Ambassador Michael Oren talks about how countries are drifting apart - Politico.com is reporting, he briefed senior Israel diplomats recently to inform them of changes in relationship. He also said that while access to the White House was good, President Obama had a tight rein on his immediate advisers and referred to him as a one-man show.

This will certainly receive more press as President Obama's decision making process is under scrutiny with the Gulf coast BP oil tragedy and the firing of General McChrystal.
