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.

It’s incomprehensible that Bibi has wasted so much time talking when the time for action was yesterday.

I'm not disagreeing with you overall, but there have been a number of actions taken. Some of the public ones have included the untimely demise of a number of senior technical and administrative managers of the Iranian nuclear program, as well as the total destruction of a nuclear research reactor in Syria.

I assume there are a number of other actions taken that neither side wants make public for any of a number of reasons.

I despise liars. Who is the father of lies?

He’s covering his ugly backside. His goal was to weaken Israel, and all of America (and Israel) knows it. What a POS.

This is one of those semi-satire things, right?

Not exactly. He is correct in saying a weakened Israel will be a failure of his presidency. A weakened US is also a failure of his presidency. His intent is a failed presidency. It will be a simple matter to shift the blame but the truth is he intends to bring down both Israel and the US.

You are right. He will most definitely wink. And the entire MSM and dem party will wink back. In delight.

"His religion, using the term loosely, allows him to lie outright to non-believers."

This fact about their religion needs to be brought out into the public ear. I don't think most people realize that lying is a religious tenant of Muslims.
