The reason is that had Obama done what it looks like he was going to do, which is to have the U.S. abstain, the resolution then passes.

He doesn't even have the balls to vote for the resolution. Just let it happen, then shrug and give us and Israel a "Hey, what can ya do?"

Is this POS out of office yet?

Now he needs to feed Obama’s useless oysters to the pigs publicly.

I think he would be surprised if you showed up with the necessary tools. You’d probably get one of those looks, “Do you do what it is that you are supposed to do? Can’t you see they are already gone?”

Why is Egypt doing this.

the present Egyptian leadership quietly loathes Obama and his Administration. Obama nearly put Egypt into civil war, ala Libya and Syria, with his disastrous support of the Muslim Brotherhood.

“Trump proving to be a pleasant surprise for Krauthammer. “

Krauthammer has been an unmitigated POS where Trump has been concerned. He's blowing a kiss here because he's Jewish, and Israel is involved. That said, good on Trump and al Sisi for putting the screws to the UN nonsense. Both the US and Israel need to leave the UN.

Anyone watching the Fox panel with CK tonight would have seen troll Steve Hayes snarking Trump at every remark. He needs to go back to NR and shut his pie hole.

“I believe there’s only one person thrilled about Obama’s 8 years in the orifice - Jammah Cahtah who is now off the hook (now he’s no longer the worst President in U.S. history).”

Unfortunately, Obola and Cahatah are the top of a sorry list of modern-day presidents. In my lifetime (born in 1940), there is only one really great president to look back on, RR (with an honorable mention to Eisenhower). I’m just counting on Trump to be RR on steroids. For the first time, we have a president who is rich enough not to need to steal, and smart enough not to have anything to do with the power brokers and all their money.

Not all Jews care about Israel but you’re right about Krauthammer

His hawkish view on Israel is his one schtick that separates him from being another Davd Corn

This was pre planned by Trump and al - Sisi, both of whom are very sharp strategic thinkers.

Obama is trying to destabilize Israel and the Middle East in general, and his move to sanction Israel would have brought the PLO- Israel conflict to a head which is in no one but the radical Jihadi and anarchist's interests

Obama was going to screw Israel before he left office - it was his highest priority.

Egypt stepped up to the plate and co opted Obama’s initiative to gain control and and headed it off at the pass by screwing up Obama’s time line.

Once it was too late for Obama or anyone else to start trouble, Trump demands Egypt stand down and Egypt complies.

Trump humiliates Obama and looks strong on the world stage, al- Sisi looks tough on Israel to quiet his hard liners while heading off chaos in his own neighborhood, guts the Jihadis and has Trump in his debt

Win - win for the good guys and humiliation and frustration for the bad guys.

Kind of like a WWF grudge match - a great show and the winners walk away much better off then they were before and the villains get their asses kicked.

The next 4 years are going to be fun to watch

Trump is moving in and operating by default. Obama’s only concern now is how to slip in more terrorists before he leaves office and sign in more repressive regulations.
