Relations between Binyamin Netanyahu and Barack Obama are not quite as bad as they have been made out to be - and things could yet improve in the coming months, according to former leading Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman.
Speaking at Haifa University Tuesday, Lieberman - who served as Senator from 1988-2012, during which time he was nominated as the 2000 Democratic vice presidential candidate - did acknowledge that the personal relationship between the two was far from perfect.
Lieberman was the keynote speaker at the opening of the third session of the Ruderman Program for American Jewish Studies at the University of Haifa.
"My feeling is that the personal relations between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu are not as bad as the media like to make out, although there is no doubt they aren't where they need to be when you're talking about such a close friendship," he said.
But he claimed the final 14 months of the Obama administration will be less characterized by strained relations with Israel than previously, and that Israel will particularly benefit from strong support within Congress, particularly from pro-Israel Democrats who opposed the nuclear deal with Iran in principle but voted for it out of allegiance to their president.
Lieberman opined that in his opinion the deal was a mistake....
Blahblahblahblahblahblah

Except that Lieberman disgraced himself when, during the B-J Clinton trial in the Senate, Lieberman spent an hour condemning Clinton’s behavior and multiple felonies — that Clinton was a disgrace — then voted with the rest of the Democrat Socialists not to convict.
Droopy shoulders, yet he continues to carry democrat water.
Disgraceful.
His mommy and daddy beat him to it.
Well, yeah. Tik Tok was on the chubby side, and AlGore stays in shape by fighting Man-Bear-Pig, and Tik Tok is from a barely remembered sequel to the Oz series, while those that still remember AlGore wish they didn’t. So I guess it was an unkind thing to compare Tik Tok to a pathological liar. Sorry.
See the resemblance with AlGore? He’s had Botox injections, too.
