The White House on Wednesday sought to tamp down the controversy over a magazine piece that detailed deep tensions between the U.S. and Israel – and quoted an unnamed senior Obama administration official calling the Israeli leader a “chicken****.”
Administration officials, including White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, did not deny the quote. They also did not signal there would be any robust effort to find out who said it.
But Alistair Baskey, spokesman for the National Security Council, said the criticism does not reflect how the rest of the administration views Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Certainly that's not the administration's view, and we think such comments are inappropriate and counter-productive,” Baskey said in a statement. “Prime Minister Netanyahu and the president have forged an effective partnership, and consult closely and frequently, including earlier this month when the president hosted the prime minister in the Oval Office.”
At the same time, Baskey acknowledged they “do not agree on every issue,” including on settlement activity that the U.S. considers “illegitimate.”
Officials quoted in The Atlantic magazine article, written by Jeffrey Goldberg, were far more blunt in their characterization of those differences. Goldberg quoted one anonymous senior administration official saying: “The thing about Bibi is, he’s a chicken****.”
The article said Obama administration officials have also described Netanyahu over the years “as recalcitrant, myopic, reactionary, obtuse, blustering, pompous, and ‘Aspergery.’”

Not the US, just the CPUSA party member in the WH and his comrades in Government and the Press consider it illegitimate.
Who? Who said it?
One reason I feel so blessed and my family feels the same is because we support Israel and the Jewish people 100%! I don’t know how long God can withhold his wrath and rebuke against this nation! Israel being the Apple of The Almighty God will be protect by Him at all cost ....so pray for our nation our soldiers and those who love the Jewish people ...that God will be merciful unto us!
This bold unnamed senior Obama administration official needs to step up and call Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “chicken sh!t” to his face. I’ll gladly buy popcorn for the ensuing ass kickin’ said unnamed WH official will receive.
You summed up my thoughts exactly—we’re on dangerous ground given the path our gubmit has taken against Israel.
Keep Israel in your prayers!
Really? That's pretty low. They've resorted to name calling like a bunch of 9 year olds.
Oh I guarantee you that it was Jarrett that said it, she is Iranian and pro Hamas..and I have NO doubt that is how the entire Administration feels..Obama DESPISES Israel and that dumb ass Jen Psaki refused to say one bad word about Hamas when she went to some speaking engagement yesterday. You can bet that if it had been Abbas who had been called that word Ernest would have apologized and say he would get to the bottom of it
What a laugh.
The largest collection of pussified, snobby, limp wristed, cowardly Nancy Boys in the country looking down on a genuine wounded-in-action war hero and calling him chickenshit.
Anonymously of course.
Actually, I know children who act better than Hussein. Children if properly trained do not act like him at all. It should be restated:
SELFISH @$$hHOLE IN THE WHITE HOUSE
Or if you would rather, which would fit the description even more precisely:
SOCIOPATH IN THE WHITE HOUSE
no one would dare make a comment like this if they didn’t know the hero of benghazi supported the statement.
Nobody in the Barry Choomgang 0bama administration has ANY business calling ANYONE “chicken$#!+”. That’s just the height of hypocrisy.
How about “Immature Punk”? ;-)
Yep, it does fit him.
My very first thought. She would be the most likely with her background.

I was thinking Jarrett but now I’m thinking Kerry.
How about Amoral Punk? or Psychopathic Punk? or Stalin's Evil Twin Brother?
Next week decent, honorable Americans will have an opportunity to distance themselves from the anti-Semitism of its president by voting Republican.
A Republican landslide would be one of America’s finest hours.
Dude?
Way to treat an ally, Obola.
