Is Obama's problem that Netanyahu is a Republican at heart?
Ha'aretz ^ | 03/23/10 | Avi Issacharoff

WASHINGTON - Perhaps the tension between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama isn't personal but partisan, in the words of a member of Bill Clinton's White House administration. He suggests that the problem isn't that Netanyahu is a "Likudnik," but that, at his core, he is a Republican.

Half-joking and half-serious, the official explained to me that when one hears Netanyahu's creed about economic affairs, it's like listening to a conservative Republican senator. That - maybe - explains the tension between the two leaders. Perhaps now that Obama has succeeded in passing his health care reform bill, his attitude toward the conservative Republican from the State of Israel might be more forgiving.

Obama’s problem is that he is a sociopath. Sociopaths are so absorbed in themselves that they lack any moral conscience, and blame others for their own failures while taking credit for the accomplishments of others. Sociopaths are manipulative and intimidating, skilled at bullying others while playing on their affections. They will use others for their own ends, either through flattery or humiliation, and lie without any sense of guilt, becoming vindictive when exposed.

In the case of Bibi - Obama knows Bibi sees through him and Bibi is making him look bad by exposing his impotence.

Obama was brought up as an atheist and a heathen, uneducated in the Word of G-d, and today it is showing. His twenty years of being educated in the teachings of Jeremiah Wright has only qualified him in the works of the evil one.

To me, Netanyahu is okay, no matter his name label.

Obama’s problem with Bibi is that Bibi is a Jew. Obama is an anti-Semite.

My guess is Bibi requested that as the folks in Israel aren’t too happy with our President.

My guess is that it was Obama. . .
