Obama's "Buyer's Remorse"...................by Dan Friedman

[In a twist of fate (and an old anecdote) Obama will soon be crying “if only I hadn’t disrespected Bibi.” The president, filled with himself, thought he could bring Israel to heel by showing it the back door in 2010. But how swiftly the tables have turned. On the eve of our elections Obama needs Israel more than they need Obama. That old bond of trust between the two “allies” has gone and, as long as Obama’s occupying the White House, that’s the way it’s going to stay. But for Israel it’s all a blessing in disguise. Now they know what they need to do, when they need to do it, and that their fate is in their own hands. By virtue of Islamophilia, hubris and animus, Pharaoh Obama has lost his ability to control the Jewish state. df]
