Obama disses noisy Bibi

The hat tip for the graphic goes to Jack W.

Jennifer Rubin calls Sunday night's 60 Minutes performance by President Obama a 'wipe-out' (Hat Tip: Memeorandum).

Calling Netanyahu’s concern about an existential threat “noise” is another in a long string of insults, snubs and gaffes about Israel. This remark immediately raised red flags in the foreign press.The Iranians were happy, though. A reader sends me a report that at least one country is delighted. From the Iranian official TV outlet: “US President Barack Obama says Israel’s call for drawing red line over Iran’s nuclear energy program is just ‘noise’ he tries to ignore.” Well, the Iranians got that one right. And just to rub it in, Obama knocked Israel down a peg, saying it was only “one of our closest allies in the region.” Really? Is Egypt the other? The level of disdain he holds for Israel runneth over.

It is not surprising that the Romney campaign and other Republicans leaped on Obama’s stupidity. Liz Cheney tweeted, “Terrorists kill 4 Americans, says it’s ‘bumps in the road.” Israeli concerns about Iranian nukes ‘noise.’ Shameful.”

There's much more. I already ran the full video earlier (and I ran the Press TV story too). But read the whole thing for more 'highlights.' I hope that unlike John McCain four years ago, Mitt Romney has a killer instinct and uses it in the debates.
