He shares that in spades with most neo-cons, Mitch McC, comes to mind. When it comes to the President you can multiply their animus in spades. He will win in the end just like he always does because he is speaking truth to power. <br />Smilingl8dyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-42622687626387455372011-05-22T21:43:34.987-05:002011-05-22T21:43:34.987-05:00VC - that quote about Netanyahu comes from MJ Rose...VC - that quote about Netanyahu comes from MJ Rosenberg at the link (which I just realized was broken and have fixed).<br /><br />I share your cynicism about whether or not he'll back down.Nancy LeTourneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614317154146836694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-6942142038122066742011-05-22T19:54:26.671-05:002011-05-22T19:54:26.671-05:00'And I expect that Netanyahu, seeing AIPAC'...'And I expect that Netanyahu, seeing AIPAC's reaction to their President, will cut his losses and back down.'<br /><br />Now SP, given Netanyahu's infantile, and shortsighted, behaviour on Thursday, I wonder if you shouldn't change 'expect' to 'hope'. ;-)<br /><br />Don't forget that he's been mouthing off, and trying to work behind the President's back (meeting with repub. senators etc etc) for a while now. Given the fact that his actions to date haven't been very smart, him showing some sense now, admitting he 'misunderstood', and embracing the President's starting point would be the big surprise for me. Does he have a fraction of the President's strength of character to be able to do this, or will he carry through his original plan? And if he does continue with his original plan, will AIPAC and the Congress stand behind the United States President? I will wait to see.V Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-13361176512459053142011-05-22T19:52:28.259-05:002011-05-22T19:52:28.259-05:00I love this post.

The ability to treat fellow Americans with respect and dignity, even if you have disagreements with them, is a rare virtue in our current political climate. Barack Obama is a true role model. He just keeps impressing me with his forethought, intelligence, and decency.Beth in VAnoreply@blogger.com
