Bad timing? Yes it is!
In a couple of days, we will get a new Iran nuclear report. My guess is that we won't be happy with the results. You can bet that Israel won't be happy either.
We learned last night that Pres BO & Pres Sarkozy were overheard talking about PM Netanyahu. It went like this, according to news reports:
"Sarkozy to Obama: "I cannot bear Netanyahu, he's a liar."
Obama's response: "You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often that you.""
Obama's response: "You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often that you.""
Israel is our # 1 ally in the region. PM Netenyahu is a straight shooter who speaks bluntly, forcefully and doesn't hold back when he is talking about international terrorism.
So what's going on?
First, I don't think that Pres BO got over the "in your face" rebuke that followed the speech about returning to the 1967 border.
Secondly, Pres BO has a very thin skin. He doesn't like people who confront him. He wants to be surrounded by those who jump up and down screaming "yes we can". PM Netanyahu is not a "yes we can" kind of guy!
