No need to add anything to this excerpt from Scott Johnson\’s excellent commentary at powerlineblog.com (if you use the link you\’ll see a video of President Obama\’s reaction as well):
Obama turned Netanyahu\’s speech into an offense against majesty. He refused to meet with Netanyahu while he was in town. He procured the absence of Vice President Biden and Secretary of State Kerry from the speech. He assured that his administration had no representation at the event.
Obama commented on Netanyahu\’s speech yesterday afternoon. What a contrast with Netanyahu. Obama appeared petty, angry and petulant. He can\’t help it.
Obamadismissed Netanyahu\’s speech as lacking “viable alternatives.”If there is no alternative to what Netanyahu argued was “a baddeal” with Iran, that means Obama finds rejection of a bad deal orachievement of a good deal to be unrealistic alternatives to hischosen path.
Obamathus starkly confirms Netanyahu\’s critique. Obama intends for usnot to think too hard about what he has to say. We can foil him byexercising the power of critical thought.
That pretty much says it all.
End of blog.
