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.

Capitalist.
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.
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.
Keep your faith, dear, history is not made within one hour.
My guess is that it was Obama. . .
Oh to be sure. Wish we had him as a political candidate in this country.
