Obama, Netanyahu on Collision Course 6 Years in the Making
abcnews.com ^ | February 28, 2015 | JULIE PACE and MATTHEW LEE

For six years, President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have been on a collision course over how to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions, a high-stakes endeavor both men see as a centerpiece of their legacies.

The coming weeks will put the relationship between their countries, which otherwise remain stalwart allies, to one of its toughest tests.

Netanyahu is bound for Washington for an address to Congress on Tuesday aimed squarely at derailing Obama's cherished bid for a diplomatic deal with Tehran. At the same time, Secretary of State John Kerry and other international negotiators will be in Switzerland for talks with the Iranians, trying for a framework agreement before a late March deadline.

In between are Israel's elections March 17, which have heightened the political overtones of Netanyahu's visit to Washington.

The prime minister is speaking to Congress at the request of Republicans. His visit was coordinated without the Obama administration's knowledge, deepening tensions between two leaders who have never shown much affection for each other.

Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of the liberal Jewish advocacy group J Street, said Netanyahu was "crossing some lines that haven't been crossed before and is putting Israel into the partisan crossfire in a way it has not been before."

Do you suppose the Israelis have accessed the sealed documents concerning President Obama’s early life?

When Israel refused Obama’s demand they quit building homes in Jerusalem when Obama became President, the paybacks began for Obama. He’s vindictive and childish at the same time. Not good traits for a President.

A disgrceful picture indeed! Benjamin Netenyahu is a man, and not an evil homosexual as these 2 leaders in America may well be indeed. May the democrats and their followers decrease at a most rapid rate, I pray to the Lord of all mankind, Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of our faith.

Do not degrade the he man Netenyahu to the scum man obamanation of America’s desolation. The piss potus may indeed be a closet muslim, an out and out communist and an in the closet bi sexual, but Israels Prime Minister is a man of patriot and lover of freedom men and not a lying homo.

The six year time frame is a deflection. Obama sat in Rev Wright’s church for twenty years and the seeds of hate have been sprouting for decades.
“Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years when he’s out of office.”
“Let me say like Hillary, I misspoke.(apparently reference to her lies about being under fire in Bosnia) Let me just say: Zionists... I’m not talking about all Jews, all people of the Jewish faith, I’m talking about Zionists.”[35]

Obama,......Netanyahu have been on a collision course over how to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions,

Bammy isn't interested in 'halting' it--- therein lies the issue
