The jealousy-spawned hatred Obama leaves behind as a legacy As violins play his swan song, there are, at least figuratively speaking, big splotches of green growing all over President Barack Hussein Obama. It’s not the green of the global warming scam he tries so hard to smear all over humanity, but the corrosive, soul-killing green of jealousy, the unbridled jealousy he carries in his heart for Israel and its courageous President Benjamin Netanyahu. In the end, Obama’s bluster and braggadocio comes down to one human emotion, jealousy of nations and leaders more noble than himself.

President Obama delivered his coup de grace in an act of spite against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The United Nations Security Council voted Friday to approve a resolution demanding that “Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem.” It declared that the establishment of settlements by Israel has “no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law.” The Obama administration abstained, allowing the resolution to pass. All other members of the Security Council, including the United Kingdom and France, voted for it.

Think of how petty that instruction, which can only have come from the White...
