What Hussein Obama really thinks of Binyamin Netanyahu
In a new book that was released Tuesday, Obama is quoted as expressing what he really thinks about Netanyahu during his 2012 presidential campaign.
According to the book, “Double Down,” Obama said that "We all know Bibi Netanyahu is a pain in the a**" when discussing the conflict between the Israelis and the Arabs.
"Double Down" was written by MSNBC correspondents Mark Halperin and John Heilemann and it reveals behind-the-scenes political stories from the American presidential race in 2012.
The quote about Netanyahu by Obama, which was reportedly made during a meeting between the President and his aides a year before the elections, is the only time Israel is mentioned in the book.Still waiting to hear what Netanyahu really thinks of Obama (we can guess). I doubt we will hear it unless and until there is a Republican in office in the US and/or Netanyahu is no longer Prime Minister (think Yitzchak Shamir celebrating George H.W. Bush's defeat in 1992).

Shamir may have celebrated Bush's defeat (and rightly so) but Clinton assisted Labour in defeating Shamir in the next elections.
Never trust any American president.
mrzee,
The Israeli election in 1992 was before the US election. Shamir was no longer Prime Minister when Bush was defeated. And while Bush did work for Shamir's defeat, Israel's Right beat itself in that election.
