		<description>Senior Obama official on the upcoming visit of Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu:

&lt;strong&gt;&quot;The meeting on Monday is a &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;continuation of a very close relationship between the U.S. and Israel&lt;/strong&gt;, very close friendship and cooperation on many issues,&quot; said one senior Obama official.

&quot;This is [the president&#039;s] first opportunity to take the next step to &lt;strong&gt;deepen and expand this cooperation.&lt;/strong&gt; And I&#039;m quite sure it will be the first of many such conversations.&quot;

That&#039;s actually not true - the antipode of the continental United States is actually the Indian Ocean, not China.  I mean, there&#039;s a good chance that he&#039;ll get disoriented in the Earth&#039;s core and end up off-course, in which case China would be a possibility.
