Meanwhile, the mainstream media are at a loss for words. They had expected Netanyahu to lose, perhaps even by a wide enough margin to put Herzog in the pole position to form a new government. They had expected economic issues to trump security issues, which were Netanyahu’s focus. And they expected far stronger Arab turnout (as did Netanyahu).
The real loser is President Barack Obama, who undoubtedly hoped for a poor showing by Netanyahu. And the even bigger loser is the Iranian regime, who will now face an emboldened Israeli leader who made the case for his re-election on the grounds of strong public opposition to the generous terms of the nuclear deal that Obama is negotiating with Iran.
The most important immediate consequence of the election is that Netanyahu’s defense minister, Moshe “Bogey” Ya’alon, is likely to retain his post. A thorn in the side of Secretary of State John Kerry, whom he called “messianic,” Ya’alon is one of the few military planners in the western world with a grasp on the strategic realities of the Middle East. He has been a counsel of patience for Netanyahu, advising him not to waste resources on Hamas while Iran still looms as the enemy.
Yet the importance of his victory cannot be diminished. It is the biggest media surprise since “Dewey Defeats Truman”–a remarkable feat in today’s environment of big data, big media and big money.

The lame duck narcissist in the WH just got lamer.
G-d has blessed Israel yet again.
Hey Obama..... You FAILED..... AGAIN!!
Obama will no doubt go into a homosexual temper tantrum.
I am very happy and heartened to see that the people of Israel did not listen to the lies of our chunk of rat dung president.

Elections have consequences, huh obama
If only his own IRS would find that he illegally tried to influence the election, spending taxpayer dollars on an anti-Bibi campaign.
Which some of us knew all along. :)
FU MSM
Bomb, bomb, bomb.....bomb, bomb Iran.
Nice to know our tax greens went to help fund Bammy’s hate of Bibi over there. Rotten tasbard. Don’t mess with St Pat.
Obama is going to give Iran the secret recipe after today. He has to be enraged.
Will blame Congress and sign more illegal EO’s.
Man, it's great when 0's plans turn to chit in his hands.
NOW this Irish-American can celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Thank you, Lord.
Yeah, that makes me very mad ;/
Seems like that would or should be illegal, not that such a thing would stop the person in the White Mosque.

Good choice! I’ll have some Green Spot.
Thank you for sharing that. I would be in favor of the US adopting that same system.

Outstanding victory. President Buckwheat will flip out. Time to start grinding the anti-semitic democrat rat trolls into the dirt.
Kerry isn’t smart enough to be linked with the devil.
He is dumb and bad .
