White House: Obama will veto any other UN resolution critical of Israel
Times of Israel ^ | December 29, 2016, 1:19 am | Eric Cortellessa

President Barack Obama will not allow any further United Nations measures critical of Israel to pass during the remainder of his term, deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes promised on Wednesday.

When asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper if secretary of state John Kerry had indicated in his speech earlier Wednesday that the US would veto any other potential UN resolution that may come forward during the rest of Obama’s presidency, Rhodes said “yes.”

Reportedly, others possibly planned wouldn’t be going through the Security Council at this point anyway.

He’s already done more damage than all other administrations combined, so a couple more weeks won’t make any difference................

“The damage has been done and with it goes DNC Jewish donor base.”

Naaah. I would be surprised if this move induced even 10% of liberal Jewish voters to change their leanings. Maybe they stay home next election (2 years away) but they ain’t voting Republican if they were HRC or Bernie voters this last time. No way. This is genetically burned in stuff for them.

Right. The post-Paris attacks on Israel will reference the Security Council Resolution as the basis for authority but will come from the General Assembly.

Is it genetically burned in for the nominal Christian Dem voters and donors as well?

An Obama is the thing that sits in your toilet....sometimes floating, sometimes not.

It is the result of the body disposing of products that it cannot use.

It smells, it festers, it contains dangerous life forms, and has absolutely no intelligence whatsoever.

Flush your Obamas immediately and be sure to wash your hands thoroughly.

FUBO.
