Obama is doing everything he can to weaken Netanyahu and his government. Yet like everything else Obama does, it is backfiring.
Funny isn't it.
Israel's leftist media has never given Netanyahu a honeymoon and the elites hate his guts. With all the bad publicity they've given him, the Right's poll numbers should be suffering. Instead the opposite is true. If one was to project Obama's and Netanyahu's approval ratings in a trend line, one would be going down and the other one would be going up.
Heh
