nOBAMA BID TO BEAT BIBI BACKFIRES
American liberals, presumably including those at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., just two days ago were fantasizing about a world that didn’t include Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister of Israel, or at least a Bibi in a substantially weakened fashion. The imaginings included Israel blessing a nuclear deal with Iran and the eventual establishment of a full Palestinian state. Netanyahu’s defeat was considered a done deal and counted as a double blessing because not only would his defeat put the liberal party in control in Israel, but also be an embarrassment for the Likud-loving Republicans at home who had just hosted the prime minister for a joint meeting of Congress. But today, a hard reality has fallen as Netanyahu not only won re-election, but did so handily. He faces a newly unified opposition and the rising clout of Arab groups, but Bibi is back and he’s been vindicated. And as they consider the comeback, American liberals would do well to consider the part President nObama played.
While the question of U.S. taxpayer funds going to defeat Netanyahu and Likud remains in question, it is no secret that nObama has disdain for Netanyahu and was working publicly to undermine his position ahead of the election. And it turned out to be very helpful… for Netanyahu. nObama is not popular in Israel and foreign interference in elections is even less popular. nObama’s overt and covert actions to damage Netanyahu and install the liberal party gave Netanyahu and his party the perfect opportunity to warn of foreign meddling and tell his base voters to rally in order to defy nObama. As polls showed Netanyahu trailing, he moved right and fired up his base by agreeing with more hawkish factions to drop the pursuit of a “two-state solution.” So for nObama’s effort to undercut Netanyahu, nObama got Netanyahu not only returned to power, but with a rightward shift. -Fox News

Rubio ‘absolutely’ willing to undo Iran nuke deal - AP: “Eying the Republican presidential nomination, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said Tuesday he would ‘absolutely’ defy stalwart European allies if necessary to revoke any Iranian nuclear deal he might inherit from President Barack nObama. In an interview with The Associated Press, Rubio said the next U.S. president ‘should not be bound’ by a potential nObama administration agreement, even if European negotiating partners stand behind the deal. ‘The United States, although it's less than ideal, could unilaterally re-impose more crushing and additional sanctions,’ Rubio said. He said he would also ‘use the standing of the United States on the global stage to try to encourage other nations to do so.’…Rubio said the only possible deal he could accept is one that would fully disband Iran's enrichment capacity. The agreement taking shape would limit Iran's uranium enrichment and other nuclear activity for at least a decade, but slowly lift the restrictions over several years.” -Fox News
backstabber BOEHNER: HAND OVER THE SERVER, HILLY
House Speaker backstabber John Boehner added his voice to a chorus of Republicans pressing Hilly Clinton to turn over her private email server to an independent arbiter, saying the “American people deserve the facts.” “That’s the fairest way to make sure that we have all the documents that belong to the public,” backstabber Boehner told reporters in his first public remarks since Clinton revealed that as secretary of state she kept her emails on a separate “home” server. backstabber Boehner declared that a review by a “neutral third party” is the only way to determine if congressional investigators probing the 2012 attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, have what they need. While the chairman of the Benghazi panel and other lawmakers have called for a third party investigation, Clinton has said the server “will remain private.”
