President Obama used the race card during a tense debate over the future of the Middle East with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Obama recently agreed to an extensive interview with the Atlantics Jeffrey Goldberg for its April issue. The piece, titled The Obama Doctrine, highlights the presidents growing disillusionment with long-time allies. Obama even disclosed how he linked obstacles with Netanyahu to condescension instead of an ideological divide.
In one of Netanyahus meetings with the president, the Israeli prime minister launched into something of a lecture about the dangers of the brutal region in which he lives, and Obama felt that Netanyahu was behaving in a condescending fashion, and was also avoiding the subject at hand: peace negotiations, the magazine reported.

It was ineptly played. He was elected POTUS in a country that has a history of violence and bigotry towards his particular ethnicity, but also with a history of contrition for that former history, and a desire to atone. He is comparing that with a Jewish state that has come into existence and thrived despite being situated in the midst of fanatical hatred and hostility, no contrition, no sense even that there’s anything wrong with obsessive hatred, and never-ending attempts on the lives of its citizens. Comparing apples and oranges, indeed. More like comparing pineapples and fragmentation grenades.

These days, every time I hear Ted Cruz's voice, I throw up some of the obama-crap we've been made to swallow and then have to taste it all over again.
And now with all of his "Cruz for POTUS" ads playing before the primaries here and the states next door, my obama-acid-cruz reflux is really bad.
It's too early to tell if Trump is a cure or a placebo, but so far he's given my 7-year upset stomach some holistic relief!
