Netanyahu’s true electoral rival (Glick says Zero's foreign policy has never been challenged before)

If Netanyahu’s speech is a success, Obama’s foreign policy will be indefensible.

When Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner announced last month that he had invited Netanyahu to address the joint houses of Congress on the threat emanating from Iran’s nuclear program and from radical Islam, he unintentionally transformed the Israeli elections from a local affair to a contest between Obama and Netanyahu.

Obama’s response to Netanyahu’s speech has been astounding. His ad hominem attacks against Netanyahu, his open moves to coerce Democratic lawmakers to boycott Netanyahu’s speech, and the administration’s aggressive attempts to damage Israel’s reputation in the US have been without precedent. More than anything, they expose a deep-seated fear that Netanyahu will be successful in exposing the grave danger that Obama’s policies toward Iran and toward the Islamic world in general pose to the global security.

It is hard to understand either Israel’s election or Obama’s hysterical response to Netanyahu’s scheduled speech without recognizing that Obama clearly feels threatened by the message he will deliver. Surrounded by sycophantic aides and advisers, and until recently insulated from criticism by a supportive media, while free to ignore Congress due to his veto power, Obama has never had to seriously explain his policies regarding Iran and Islamic terrorists more generally. He has never endured a direct challenge to those policies.

Today Obama believes that he is in a to-the-death struggle with Netanyahu. If Netanyahu’s speech is a success, Obama’s foreign policy will be indefensible. If Obama is able to delegitimize Netanyahu ahead of his arrival, and bring about his electoral defeat, then with a compliant Israeli government, he will face no obstacles to his plan to appease Iran and blame Islamic terrorism on the West for the remainder of his tenure in office.

It’s remarkable how much vitriol is being splashed about just because he is going to talk to the American people. Just words; they must fear that they will be powerful ones.

My own personal policy since Oswald was publicly crucified is to remember that when the gummit publicly crucifies anybody, ALWAYS LOOK DEEPER.

it is really unfair for this burden of changing “our” (Obama’s) Islamonazi nuclear missile promotion program.....to be on Bibi’s shoulders

he is a very good speaker, but still...it is the job of our Congress....our elected representatives...to provide the Checks an Balances, the Funding Decisions, and the Investigatory Proceeds... and yes, the Impeachment needed...to correct this wholesale subversion of American interests, values, and policies

Our reps should be doing this with the tools provided them under our Constitutional system of governance

to put the weight of achieving this big job on a visitor’s shoulders....is unfair to the extreme

but if any one person, any one visitor can do it, Bibi can

If Obama truly is Constitutionally unqualified for the Presidency, you can be sure that Mossad and Bibi know it. They certainly have dirt of some kind on him. But notice how they, like everyone else in the world, are afraid to take him on.

Is it cowardice or just "Jewish guilt?"
