He who laughs last laughs longest.
Obama was excrutiatingly inept in his dealings with Bibi in the early days of his presidency. Bibi ran rings around him.
I remember a reported Bibi comment to his cabinet colleagues. " He just doesn't get it does he ? "
This was fair comment. Obama didn't get it. But Obama is smart, a very quick learner.
It was so funny watching todays press conference, the confident Obama ( because he now knows he is going to get re elected ? ), and the squirming supplicant Bibi.
Now it is Bibi that just doesn't get it. Bibi had the first laugh, but we can be sure as hell that it is Obama who will have the last one.
Bibi is yesterday. Israel badly needs to get a government that is of today. Otherwise.....bye bye Israel.
Bibi will get a standing ovation when he speaks to congress. Obama will yawn. Anthony tells us that a majority of Americans support Israel. Imagine a group of political pollsters stopping people on Main Street, knoxville , Anystate.
" Do you support Israel? "
" hell yeah I cant stand those suicidal rag heads "
" Will the presidents policy on the Israel / Palestinian thing be a significant factor in how you cast your vote ? "
blink
It's the economy stupid.
Any true friend of Israel would be be ditching Bibi and the rest of his yesterday men and getting a government that is up to speed on current realities.
