Can anyone name a single world leader, diplomat or official from ANY country - friend or foe - who has been shown any amount of the transparent contempt, disrespect and antagonism this jackass has directed at Mr. Netanyahu?

Didn't think so...

Funny isn’t it, with all the vituperation heaped
on America by the Islamics, NONE seems directed
at Obama...why is that do you think?

“Not a surprise. We all know where this is headed.”

Likely a mushroom cloud over either Iran, Israel or the US (or all three). For Obama the odds are a country he hates gets nuked.

Apparently Obuma doesn’t believe in Democratic elections.

Obama needs a new middle name. He should now be known as Barack “Kill the Jews” Obama.

Post 9/11/01 and pre-Obama, David Horowitz wrote of the intersection of the Worldwide Left and islam.

Destruction of the US is their shared short term goal. Differences over homos, women, crime and punishment, etc. are to be worked out after our demise.

In a republic, political ignorance is a deadly poison. Many Americans have crossed an intellectual line described by Tacitus. When citizens were asked by him if they missed the freedoms of the Roman Republic, most were too uneducated to know much of what expired over a hundred years prior, and secondly, they thought the emperor would adequately defend their liberty. In similar fashion, too many of us have mentally relinquished any notion of sovereignty and happily assume that an all-powerful Obama is our secular savior. A savior cannot be a traitor. Only critics of the savior can be traitors.

So yes, such a people have no collective idea of the possible endgame plans of Obama, ValJar.

What remains of our republic is horribly corrupted from its founding maxims. Nationwide elections did not get us into this mess, and no national election can get us out.

The aggressiveness underlines a calculation by Mr. Obama that an international accord with Iran to rein in its nuclear program is within reach despite Mr. Netanyahu’s adamant opposition, and that there is little value in being more conciliatory toward him.

“In a way, the administration has already won,” said Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East adviser to Democratic and Republican administrations. “If you get agreement by the end of March, it will be historic in nature, it will have demonstrated that the administration is prepared to willfully stand up to Republican opposition in Congress and to deal with members of its own party who have doubts, and has withstood Israeli pressure.”

On the other hand, given an agreement with Iran, we have this situation:

a. There is apparently sufficient support for the Senate bill requiring any agreement with Iran to undergo Senatorial muster that a presidential veto can be overridden.

b. Some 360 Representatives signed a letter to the president demanding that he submit any treaty with Iran to senatorial review. By definition that number includes at least 115 Democrats, a majority of the minority caucus. Further, this constitutes a bipartisan total that is easily sufficient to override a presidential veto.

c. There are evidently problems emerging with the other powers involved in the Iran negotiations. Obama has reportedly dealt with France's Hollande over the schedule for lifting sanctions. Whereas Obama wants to "gradually lift sanctions", France is stating a preference for "symbolically easing sanctions". Which position would, naturally, be unacceptable to the Iranians.

The net result of these developments is to result in the potential isolation of the U.S. President. If he does a deal with Iran under his terms, styled as an Executive Agreement, and vetos the Senate bill -- he risks his veto being overridden by a bi-partisan majority of Congress.

Remember, too, that only Congress can lift the sanctions so far as the USA is involved.

On the other hand, if he chooses to submit the agreement to the UN, processing it as a Security Council resolution, he risks a veto being cast by France (and/or, perhaps, Britain).

In which case, the President is totally isolated on the international front...and his Iran agreement is worthless.

Pray for Israel. They are probably facing the worst threat thus far to their existence.

American jews seem to be completely oblivious to this threat, or don't care.

And Mitch McConnell made all this possible by betraying Bob Corker and delaying a vote on the Iranian sanctions bill after “Democrat demands.” He won’t axe the filibuster to protect our border or to keep nukes out of the hands of terrorists, the very definition of treason.

historic rift between the United States and Israel.

The rift is NOT between the US and Israel, it is between Queen Putt the Marxist, Mooslim, Kenyan, Steaming Pant Load Sissy Boy and Israel and Americans.

The Good News is that Israel will stand. If God says it it’s true. It also says that “Elam” which is Iran will be utterly destroyed. I gues Val and Bam Bam don’t spend much time reading the Bible.

This is the first time that the Republicans have stood up to Obama on a significant issue, as soon as Obama made his intentions clear.

Let's see if they can win one.

At least they helped Bibi win an election, so some good has come out of this already.

Long past time to admit the mistake that ruined America for the foreseeable future. Drag him out of the White Hut and toss him into a padded cell along with his entire retinue.

Negate every damned thing this lunatic did and remove all who he appointed to anything.

Or, just stand by and watch the perverted parasite put the finishing touches on his masterpiece.

I’m kind of glad this is happening, as it gives Bibi more room to maneuver. One party he needs to bring on board wants Bibi to sign a proclamation that there will not be a 2-state solution. Bibi had tried to soften his stance a bit on this for Obama, and now it appears he’s getting nothing in return - so he might as well sign it.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if Russia winds up vetoing the UN resolution calling for the destruction of Israel, rather than Obama, as the relationship between those two countries (Russia and Israel) is probably now better than our relationship with Israel, and Putin would REALLY like to stick it to Obama. We shall see.

“If you get agreement by the end of March, it will be historic in nature...".

So then the issue of what is in the agreement doesn't matter. It's just that he got an agreement.

That's insane.

Traitor Obama is going all in with his Muslim Brotherhood buddies in their Islamic holy war against America and Israel.


The winds have blown, and he stands by them as he quoted in his book....

Funny how clear it is to see but the MSM follows the hear no, speak no, see no evil mantra least they are exposed for the enablers they are.
