Obama: Bibi is a Pain in the... New book quotes the American president as expressing

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama are not known to have had a good relationship, but the American president seems to have taken it a bit too far.

In a new book that was released Tuesday, Obama is quoted as expressing what he really thinks about Netanyahu during his 2012 presidential campaign.

According to the book, “Double Down,” Obama said that "We all know Bibi Netanyahu is a pain in the a**" when discussing the conflict between the Israelis and the Arabs.

"Double Down" was written by MSNBC correspondents Mark Halperin and John Heilemann and it reveals behind-the-scenes political stories from the American presidential race in 2012.

The quote about Netanyahu by Obama, which was reportedly made during a meeting between the President and his aides a year before the elections, is the only time Israel is mentioned in the book.

Relations between Obama and Netanyahu were strained during Obama's first term, with supporters of Obama accusing Netanyahu of interfering in the U.S. election in favor of Obama's rival, Mitt Romney. Supporters of Netanyahu, meanwhile, accused Obama of trying to keep Netanyahu from being reelected last January.

To bad. I guess life would be better for Obama if the Israelis would just go away. However, they are here to stay and will win in the end according to G_d’s word.

I thought he was going to say “He is our most trusted ally”.

Oh, “and Churchill was the greatest statesman of the 20th century”.

I know, silly me.

Yeah, what a pain in the a$$ that the Israelis won’t just allow the “Palestinians” to massacre every single one of them so that the Islamic “one-state solution” of a “Muslim country” from the Mediterranean to the Jordan (and beyond) can’t be realized.

Who does Obama think he is Dick Cheney. Cheney is the only one to curse out people. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in staff meetings talking about Saddam and others. He must have been something else.

Top seven things that make Obama say that Bibi is a pain in the ass:

1. Keeps going on and on about how he doesn’t want his people annihilated, as if that really matters.

2. Won’t give up and just hand the whole country over to Abbas.

3. Breeder.

4. He’s got a foreign accent and knows how to use it. Can’t Kissinger come in and help me develop a cherman accent, ja?

5. Keeps mentioning that Israel is a sovereign nation. Big whoop.

6. Keeps mentioning that Israel is an ally, and I shouldn’t wipe my ass on Israeli flag toilet paper anymore. But it’s so soft and cushiony. That other brand hurts my ass.

7. Won’t shine my shoes, so he must be a racist.
