One day before he hosts Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office, Obama hit on many Iran policy points Israel is looking for from the United States.

Obama also strongly defended his record on Israel and sought to stave off Republican attacks during the presidential campaign. Three leading candidates for the Republican nomination will be addressing the AIPAC Policy Conference on Tuesday, which is the largest annual American pro-Israel gathering.

How do we persuade Congress and the Supreme Court to remove him from office? A nation-wide petition for his removal? Is that possible?

Obama: ...Just listen to me, Israel, and I’ll solve all your problems. Just recognize Palestinians and Hamas as equals, even though there is no such country as Palestine, and move your borders back to what they were in 1967.
Bibi: ...FUBO!
