Imagine the Bungler of Benghazi making the calls during an Israel-Iran war. I shudder.
Or the calls during a Greek-style market collapse and currency crisis. Shudder again. This will not go well.

It's no secret that the New York Times detests Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu -- in its news columns as well as on the editorial page. So it comes as no surprise that, after President Obama's second-term victory, the Times relishes the prospect of Bibi getting his comeuppance, big-time, from the White House.
In a post-election dispatch, Times Jerusalem bureau chief Jodi Rudoren eagerly reports that Netanyahu may have risked Israel's "collective relationship with Washington" by rejecting Obama's demands for concessions to the Palestinians and by showing a preference for Mitt Romney, a long-time friend of the prime minister.
"His strained relationship with Mr. Obama may prove more than a temporary political headache," Rudoren writes. She goes on to quote Israeli pollster Mitchell Barak, who opines that if as expected Netanyahu is returned to power in Israel's January elections, "we all know he is not the right guy" to deal with Obama. Piling on further, Rudoren darkly predicts new frictions with Obama because of Netanyahu's "hard line position on Iran." Plus, she adds, a second-term president, "freed from electoral concerns, may prove likelier to pursue his own path without worry about backlash from Washington's powerful and wealthy pro-Israel lobby."

If you think we in the U.S have it bad...just consider Israel’s predicament.
Place your bets.
That will make the Israel-hating Jews in NY very happy.
That’s ok. God has the last laugh here.
we are so screwed
LOL!
The only guys a wuss like obama “takes to the woodshed” are his dates
Now, giving Netanyahu an ipod loaded with obama speeches- THAT would be punishment
Israel has known for the last few years that they’ll probably have to go it alone against Iran. Now it’s confirmed. Question is will they take them out when they need to or when they are forced to.
BO may have won the day on Tuesday, but that doesn’t make him any more of a leader than he was before Tuesday. Being a ‘President’ and being a ‘Leader’ are two different things. Obama will never be a Leader, but he does follow the orders of those around him quite well. I wonder who ordered him to abandon Ambassador Stephens?

Prayers for Bibi and his country.
Net is only about 100 times as intelligent as the t*rd,
We’ll see.

For those who have never heard Netanyahu, next time he’s scheduled to to on any talking head show make sure you tune in. The man is amazing. Wish we had some like him running things.
Let him try.
He doesn't have new momentum.
That is the reason for early parliamentary elections that will be held in Israel on 22 January 2013.
The last part should read "backlash from the American people". And again, the left's anti-Semitism exposed.
The Media machine as much as admits in this line that they helped to obfuscate Obummer's disdain for Bibi and Israel, as they spent all pre-election reporting what a great relationship they have. Not that any of us here are surprised.
yea, right.
And so it begins....
