On Nov. 8, 2011, President Obama met with then-French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Cannes after what had been a particularly rough week for US-Israeli relations.

Modal Trigger

The week prior, the UN agency UNESCO admitted Palestine as a member state. Congress responded by cutting off UNESCO’s funding, a move the Obama administration direly opposed. Michael Oren, who served as Israel’s US ambassador from 2009 to 2013, said the president, having opposed Palestine’s admission to the agency, “thought he had done enough . . . and did not need to punish them further.”

President Obama responded to Congress’ act by admonishing Israel for supporting it, with Deputy Secretary of State Tom Nides telling Oren, “UNESCO teaches Holocaust studies, for chrissakes. You want to cut off f–king Holocaust studies?”

“Junior Romper Britches” looks like admonishing Israel. He’s not fit to fetch Netanyahu’s water jug.

Bill Clinton thought he was good enough to fetch coffee.

Bill Clinton helped sink his wife's chances for an endorsement from Ted Kennedy by belittling Barack Obama as nothing but a race-based candidate.

"A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee," the former president told the liberal lion from Massachusetts,...

"I'll have a mocha latte with whip cream on top in a blue cup.
And don't spill any."

"Does anybody else want coffee?"

Obama: “We must never stop until we see the day when
nuclear arms have been banished from the face of the
earth.”

Sarkozy: “President Obama is incredibly naive and
grossly egotistical - so egotistical that no one
can dent his naïveté.”

There is not a single subject Obama should be lecturing anyone about, and especially the Israeli leadership.He is dealing with real people with real experience.
