Is Obama's problem that Netanyahu is a Republican at heart?

Ha'aretz ^ | 03/23/10 | Avi Issacharoff

WASHINGTON - Perhaps the tension between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama isn't personal but partisan, in the words of a member of Bill Clinton's White House administration. He suggests that the problem isn't that Netanyahu is a "Likudnik," but that, at his core, he is a Republican.

Half-joking and half-serious, the official explained to me that when one hears Netanyahu's creed about economic affairs, it's like listening to a conservative Republican senator. That - maybe - explains the tension between the two leaders. Perhaps now that Obama has succeeded in passing his health care reform bill, his attitude toward the conservative Republican from the State of Israel might be more forgiving.

Go Bibi!

[brownsfan]

Obama’s problem is that Netanyahu is Jewish and Obama is a muslim.

[DannyTN]

More likely, Obama is either Muslim or a Muslim sympathizer.

[cherry]

its because a)....he’s a republican at heart...or b)....a Jew...or c)....a businessman...or d) more of a man than bambi will every be.....

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Everyone in the media is talking about the fact that no press is being allowed during Bibi’s meeting with Obama. My guess is Bibi requested that as the folks in Israel aren’t too happy with our President.

[Old Badger]

Also, the fact that he’s white.

[brownsfan]

“Also, the fact that he’s white.”

Agreed.

[mountainlion]

We should do the same and quit building in our “occupied” in California,Arizona, New Mexico, Texas. There are Mexican groups that have laid claim to the USA.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Bibi is...

1) a Jew

2) white

#) conservative

Strike 3.

[ImpBill]

Sure it is, but Bibi is a member of the Likud party which may mean he is a little "r" republican, but definitely not a Republican! He is a conservative who believes in their constitution and the conserving of the same.

Some here on FR are also conservative and not Republican!

[HighlyOpinionated]

Nope. Bibi uses common sense instead of marxist-nonsense which 0bama recognizes.

Poor 0bama is sooooo confused. He’s a widdle biddy boy who’s trying sooooo hard to please his dead momma and his unknown baby-daddy. His momma publicly picked a Kenyan as the baby-daddy, so Barry did, too. Even though Barry knows what’s on the original birth certificate that will embarrass him he wants to use the Kenyan’s name.

Poor 0bama. Sooooo misunderstood. Soooooo elite and yet the masses of adoring fans are falling away. What can poor widdle biddy baby-boy-child-man do? I know, he can go on another vacation trip and give a speech to hand selected audiences.

Poor widdle biddy 0bama-boy.

SEND SYMPATHY CARDS TO YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES ON THE LOSS OF THEIR CONSCIENCE. I sent one to Bart Stupak and am sending sympathy post cards to the Georgia Congressmen who voted for Obama Care.

OH, NANCY PELOSI’S 70TH BIRTHDAY IS COMING SOON, SEND HER A CARD AND TELL HER IT’S TIME TO RETIRE AND TAKE THE BLUE PILL. [Yes I did on a post card.]

[ETL]

Both the commie left and the extremist Muslim fanatics hate Israel and America.

[marron]

Netanyahu isn’t muslim and he isn’t marxist. Thats O’s problem with him.

And he isn’t prepared to lay down and surrender. And he isn’t prepared to snap his heels at O’s command.

Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left
by David Horowitz

Amazon Book Review:
"Vastly Illuminating!" September 25, 2004
By Kat Bakhu

"I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air."

I have been saying “Go Bibi!” for several yrs now, but I have been very disappointed in his soft treatment of Palestinian terrorism recently. I thought he was a strong leader weho had a spine & a reputation of being tough as nails. I’m afraid that I was wrong.

[Colorado Cowgirl]

Bibi is the man who has fought for his country, He served as a combat soldier and a commander in the elite special forces unit of the IDF, Sayeret Matkal. He has been Prime Minister of Israel, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Finance, Israel Ambassador to the United Nations
His alma mater is Massachusetts Institute of technology. Where he earned a B.S. degree in architecture,so building housing developments is what they do. And not some prissy little Harvard college where you learn how to be a community organizer.

Obama would LOVE me.

[stephenjohnbanker]

To: beagleone

I absolutely agree with you. Obama’s problem is that he is a muslim and Netanyahu is a Jew.

[onyx]

Listen to Bibi.

If he doesn’t bring RWR to mind, then you haven’t been really listening.

I shall be back to adhere to the rule.
