WASHINGTON CNN anchor Jake Tapper said the relationship between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is deteriorating and the respect the two leaders have for each other knows bounds.
I spent the first four years of Obama as the White House correspondent for ABC News and it was just fascinating to watch the relationship deteriorate from the very beginning when Im sure Im going to mess up the chronology here but there was a Biden trip to Israel and he landed and immediately new settlements were announced. There was Netanyahu not being permitted to come through the front door one time, an honor usually reserved for the Dalai Lama, Tapper said during a discussion at the Center for Strategic Studies in Washington titled Foreign Policy Hotspots.
And what was interpreted by President Obama as Netanyahu lecturing Obama in the Oval Office. And I think its fair to say that the respect Netanyahu and Obama have for each other knows bounds, but beyond that it has affected the relationship. Yes, the defense cooperation, the intelligence cooperation and that continues. There is this undergirding of the two countries being allied but the idea that its irrelevant, which is something that you hear sometimes from Obamas supporters, that it doesnt really matter that these two dont get along, of course it matters that these two dont get along. I think it had very bad consequences, especially for Israel, CNN Chief Washington Correspondent Tapper also said.
White House Correspondent for the Wall Street Journal Carol E. Lee said the general thinking is the Israeli election will set the tone for Israel-U.S. relations for the next two years.
Privately, their [the White House] thinking is they dont believe he [Netanyahu] was ever really for a two-state solution, said Lee.

I think he finally gave the go-ahead for that -- months after Bin Laden's location was identified -- because Trump was making a big deal about the fake birth certificate and taking it mainstream. Also, there was a risk that someone in the military would leak that Obama was protecting Bin Laden.
True, Netanyahu is more of an American than our thin Muslim Monarch from Kenya.
No surprise. A significant portion of Muzzies are racist anti-Semites. Comrade Zero is one of them.
Add to the list that Odunga and the Mooch don’t give the girls gifts for Christmas or Birthdays, 100% Muzzie those two.
Sounds like Obama is headed for the bunker.
Theres finally starting to be Rats having second thoughts, hopefully its not too late for our country.
The electorate turned out to be even worse than I imagined. And it (the electorate) solidified itself as utterly poison to the America created by our founding fathers in 2012.
Events have made my tag line is more “likely” than when I created it a couple of years ago.

Agreed. Even the media could not have politically protected the president had it been revealed he was protecting OBL.
Remember Obama using Palestinians to call Ohio voters?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
