US President Barack Obama has said that a weakened Israel would be a "fundamental failure of my presidency," affirming solidarity with the long-time ally despite recent differences over the Iran nuclear deal.
Obama said while Israel has reason to be concerned about foe Iran, he defended the framework agreement on Iran's nuclear program that negotiators drew up last week.
Obama made the comments to The New York Times in a 45-minute video interview on Saturday that was posted on Sunday.
"I would consider it a failure on my part, a fundamental failure of my presidency, if on my watch or as a consequence of work that I've done, Israel was rendered more vulnerable," Obama said.

I don’t even think he understands what he is saying any more, he is just like a trained seal
Oh, I do believe he will wink when he says “my bad”.
I don’t want to rag on Netanyahu, but he’s a wimp compared to past Israeli leaders. Begin did not ask for Reagan’s permission - he struck Osirak, and that was that. Netanyahu’s Hamlet-like indecision has given Iran the time it needed to get its nuclear program going. It seems Bibi was more interested in milking the Iranian nuclear program for domestic political points than in actually striking it. Thanks to his lollylagging, the Iranians are now on the verge of a nuclear weapon. Begin understood that even under Reagan, the US was not to be trusted on matters of mortal import to Israel. It’s incomprehensible that Bibi has wasted so much time talking when the time for action was yesterday.
What he means is that if Israel is merely weakened and not turned into a molten radioactive-waste heap it would be a failure of his pResidency.
Wait a minute!
He telling the truth here.
A successful presidency to Obama would mean the annihilation of Israel. Merely weakening Israel WOULD BE a failure.
I thought Klownie the Kenyan was already a failure regardless? Did I miss something?
Oh, I do believe he will wink when he says my bad.
THIS...IS A CLEAR INDICATION that Obie has Finally and irrevocably Jumped The Stinkin Shark!!

Ted Cruz 2016.. - A Return To Normalcy!!
You beat me to it.;-)
I’m not sure what’s more frightening; this man’s BS or the undoubted fact that he actually believes what he’s saying.
Just as he probably believes that his strengthening and emboldening US enemies makes us stronger, because it shows how magnanimous and humble we are, and gives dignity to our enemies. Then we can all live together in peace and harmony, inshallah!
“Wanna buy a bridge?”

Too late!
It’s already a failure.

To quote that great philosopher Keith Richards: “Talk is cheap”.
Boob bait for the NY Times reading, non orthodox Jews.
Why limit it to just that? Odumbass can claim innumerable failures.
Read between the lines. He doesnt want a weakened Israel. He wants a destroyed Israel.
