US President Barack Obama’s attempts to portray himself as pro-Israel in his press conference with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday failed to persuade right-wing MKs, who warned that Obama is “still evil.”
The MKs questioned the president’s motives and suggested that he was putting on a show for American Jews ahead of the crucial November mid-term elections, in which the Democrats may lose control of Congress.
“He doesn’t sound evil now because he needs Jewish votes and money,” said Deputy Negev and Galilee Development Minister Ayoub Kara.
“But I won’t forget the pressure he put on Netanyahu and the stress I saw in the prime minister the last time he came back from Washington. He is acting the way he is for political reasons.
I hope he will stay this way but I doubt it, because he hasn’t changed.”
Likud MK Danny Danon said he believes Obama learned his lesson that pressuring Israel does not work. He said he hopes Obama will also learn that the Likud would not allow Netanyahu to continue the 10- month construction moratorium in Judea and Samaria beyond September.
“Obama restrained himself and didn’t attack our prime minister this time, but he still set unrealistic expectations for the peace process,” Danon said.
“He is wrong if he thinks the freeze must continue for direct talks to begin. He instead must pressure the Palestinians to come to the negotiating table, regardless of the freeze. He sounds nice now but after November, I am worried that he will sound different.”
“Obama doesn’t sound wicked now, but he was merely buying time,” Eldad said.
“Obama is betting on getting the entire pot. Our job in the [caucus] will be to put pressure on Netanyahu so he won’t make concessions that threaten Israel’s future.”

He’s got Bammie pegged.
Too bad it’s another country to recognize the truth. What the heck is wrong with US citizens who can’t see him for what he is—a two bit dictator who rules by corruption, divisiveness and slavery(to HIS government and czars).
“What the heck is wrong with US citizens who can’t see him for what he is”
Who says they can’t? Do you see many Obama/Biden bumper stickers around these days?
They get it. Bibi learned from bill clinton what bam is capable of. This time Bibi was not afraid to say out loud what bam would rather have kept private.
Bibi made a terrible mistake in not calling clintom out and putting it into the public record. He will not make that mistake again.
Refreshingly clear.
You put just the right guy, at just the right time.
Hey! All you Leftist Jews, I hope you are all patting yourself on the back now.
WE did it! We got a Marxist Socialist Muslim Dictator Elected! Hooray for us!

It is no wonder to me anymore why history is as it is.

The are liberals first just like any other core constitutes of the Democrat's Base.
Israel has to hold off its enemies indefinitely without any substantial help from this administration to maintain its security.
how about O-GNIB ?
“The Wye Accord was brokered after a 21-hour bargaining session mediated by U.S. president Bill Clinton. The points of the agreement included developing a security plan to crackdown on terrorism; the withdrawal of Israeli troops from an additional 13 percent of the West Bank (along with a commitment for future additional withdrawals); a transfer of roughly 14 percent of the West Bank from joint Israeli-Palestinian control to Palestinian control; Palestinian agreement that anti-Israeli clauses in its national charter would be removed; Israel’s guarantee that it would provide two corridors of safe passage between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank; Israeli release of 750 Palestinian prisoners; and the opening of a Palestinian airport in Gaza.”
In return for Netanyahu’s promise to sign the Accord, clinton promised him the release of Jonathan Pollard.
As the TV lights and cameras turned on, clinton leaned over and whispered to Netanyahu that he had lied, but Netanyahu was young, had trusted clinton, the American president, and too caught by surprise to even be coherent in front of the cameras.
Immediately after that, clinton set out to bring down Netanyahu’s government and replaced him with Barak...who would have signed away Jerusalem if arafat had agreed to the deal.
He didn’t just topple Netanyahu, he tried to destroy him forever.
As recently as a month ago, Bibi’s brother-in-law very publicly reminded him of that betrayal in remarks to the press.
“he needs Jewish votes and money”
BINGO!
