It's amazing to me that you talk of Obama embarrassing Netanyahu, while completely failing to mention that Netanyahu humiliated VP Biden in Israel.

Last time I checked, we are not the United States of Israel. We are the United States of America. That means we deal with Israel and every other country on the basis of mutual interests. When Israel starts trying to bully us around, despite the $8B a year in assistance we give them, then it's time for us to pull out the stick and remind them who the top dog is. The whole Middle East is a giant thorn in our side and Israel usually just makes things worse.

Obama is handling the situation with Israel exactly right. An affront to this country must be dealt with in kind. Israel broke protocol with Biden and it was required that we respond to that affront.

Of course, you would rather we continue licking Israel's ass. But that would be typical GOP behavior. All bluster and no balls...and no brains.
