On Netanyahu, AIPAC, the American Right, et al…………..

“But here's the kicker. Netanyahu wrote his speech before Obama's health care reform victory.

Instead, health care reform passed. And Obama supporters (including the 78% of Jews who voted for him) were ecstatic. Suddenly our laid back President seemed like Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Republicans were (and still are) flailing and Obama is stronger now than at any other time in his Presidency. For Netanyahu, this was a disaster.
