TALK-RADIO HOST
“Netenyahu would like to have an impact on who Americans elect as president. He’s endorsed Mitt Romney.” – Ellis Henican
An Israeli official said the White House had refused Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu’s request to meet Obama when the Israeli leader visits the United States to attend the U.N. General Assembly, telling the Israelis “the president’s schedule will not permit that.”
In a harsh statement, Netanyahu has said the United States had forfeited its moral right to stop Israel from taking action against Iran’s nuclear program because it had refused to be firm with Tehran
itself.
He then claimed that Obama was snubbing him by refusing to meet.
“Obama has not rolled over and given Netanyahu everything he wants, so he wants Romney. I am not remotely sympathetic to Netanyahu.” – Ellis Henican

I think Netanyahu’s behavior is mostly outrageous. He seems to think he can cow the leader of the free world into committing troops to yet another unwinable war. The fact that he’s “endorsed” Mitt Romney makes his actions even more out of line—a crude attempt to nudge America’s Jewish vote away from its traditionally Democratic posture. I’m afraid Bebe has backed himself into an uncomfortable corner…for if Obama happens to win reelection, he may understandably decide to keep the Israeli prime minister twisting in the wind.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, Ellis.
