Today’s paragraph comes to us from the reliably leftward, reliably pro-Obama Washington Post columnist, E.J. Dionne.
And, it may surprise you to know, I agree with it completely.
From Mr. Dionne’s latest column, which discusses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to a joint session of congress:
Netanyahu may have spoken the words, “We appreciate all that President Obama has done for Israel,” but the rest of his speech painted the president as foolish and on the verge of being duped on a nuclear deal by the mullahs in Tehran.
Yes, Mr. Dionne. EXACTLY.
The only difference between us is that you wrote that paragraph as a blunt, extremely negative assessment of Benjamin Netanyahu, and I read it as a blunt, extremely negative assessment of Barack Obama.
I award E. J. Dionne Paragraph Of The Day honors for the entertainment value of writing something meant as an attack on Israel’s Prime Minister…which, instead, makes me (and I’ll bet tens of millions of other citizens) wish to hell Netanyahu was doing the negotiating instead of our hapless, helpless, hopeless President.
