Source: Obama May Cut Direct Ties With Netanyahu and Make Kerry Sole Liaison
The Algemeiner ^ | 3/19/15 | Chris Coffey

Posted on 03/20/2015 3:16:50 PM PDT by Nachum

President Obama is considering cutting all ties with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s YNet News reported on Friday. According to a source cited by the paper, the White House “is contemplating lowering its ties with Israel and putting Kerry as the sole liaison between the two states, as opposed to the open line Netanyahu now enjoys with Obama.”

“The president is pragmatic, if he were to think there was some gain to be made from talking directly with Netanyahu he would do so, but he just prefers not to waste his time,” the White House source said

The report culminates weeks of mounting anger by the White House towards Netanyahu. Administration officials were very critical of Netanyahu’s historic speech earlier this month before a joint session of Congress on the Iranian nuclear threat, and there was even speculation that the White House was attempting to unseat the Israeli Prime Minister.

Following Netanyahu’s landslide electoral victory this week, it appeared as though the tension with the White House might dissipate. The White House took a conciliatory tone on the day of the win, and a Netanyahu loyalist made it clear that the new government would seek to renew trust with the United States.

The peace was short-lived.

Good. That’s what Bambi did with Afghanistan early on. He put Biden in charge because Karzai asked O why he was so much harder to deal with than Dubya (who was always working with Karzai). LOL

I love it. Kerry is a doofus but will be easier to deal with than O. Kerry has his own legacy, and it is turning out better than Hillary’s and O’s (not saying much).

Shalom

Say, has anyone seen American Idol lately?

We used to joke on American Idol pretty frequently here, but after six years of Obama madness, that show seems absolutely highbrow.

Honestly, why isn’t anyone calling him out on this. Netanyahu is the elected head of state in Israel and deserves to be treated as such.

Not only that, what did Bibi ever to do Obama except be Jewish. It’s anti-semitism at its worst.

I think he is scared....

Yes I think you’re right but his fear is the sum of knowing his (ACA) is on its way to the landfill of dashed hopes and dreams; he is in over his head regarding world political collapse; his benefactor George Soros, no matter how well healed, can’t control that collapse, and he looks weak and pathetic and is regarded as such by most world leaders.

Those are his fears. He’ll assume the lowest position in the pantheon of U.S. Presidencies; at the very bottom, lower than Jimmy Carter and THAT is scary. (You’ll note that Carter’s record is never discussed in the leftist media except when he’s photographed nailing a habitat together and his record they speak of is only post-Presidency)

Obama’s name if ever mentioned will be followed by an obligatory spit.

The thought continues to occur to me that the campaign team Obama sent to Israel is lucky he doesn’t have the power he thinks he so richly deserves or they’d have received the treatment Saddam Hussein used towards Iraq’s losing soccer team.

Well...you're probably right about Obama, although with him I'd wager it's more a matter of laziness. He'll pout and sulk about the loss, but is disinclined to enact revenge against the task force that got sent to Israel.

However, there is someone in the White House who does have the vicious resolve and the maleficent intent to enact godawful punishment on them for this failure...

They still have a hand in the upcoming Canadian election, assisting Turd-owe to try to beat Stephen Harper and the Conservatives, so I don’t think any of Val’s operatives will suffer any accidents until after the October election.

I’ve heard of lottsa’ cases of severe reda$$, but that one tops ‘em all!

Actually, I’m beginning to think it isn’t just peevishness anymore with Obola. I think since both he and the Iranians are sunni muslims, he feels the need to break with Israel to get some cred with Iran and the rest of sunniworld. JMHO.

Every day he reminds me more of a teen-aged girl who is in a bad mood. What's next? Writing bad fan fiction of Das Kapital staring Arack Bobama and Karl Marx?

They say Bathouse Barry is our first gay President. They don't call homosexuality a developmental disorder for nothing. See how Obama is acting not that Bibi has won re election?
