| Here let me give the President some advice about his temper. |
U.S. Senator John McCain accused President Barack Obama of throwing a "temper tantrum" over comments by Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu, adding to the conflict between the White House and the Republican-dominated Congress over Israel.
McCain, asked on CNN's "State of the Union" show if U.S.-Israel relations were at a dangerous point, said, "I think that's up to the president of the United States."
Obama's sensitive relationship with Netanyahu was strained further by comments Netanyahu made in the closing moments of his successful campaign for re-election last week.
"The president should get over it," McCain said on CNN. "Get over your temper tantrum, Mr. President.
"The least of your problems is what Bibi Netanyahu said during an election campaign. If every politician were held to everything they say in a political campaign, obviously that would be a topic of long discussion."
John McCain, and man famous for this bad temper, is giving President Obama, the coolest guy in any room, advice about controlling his "temper tantrums?" Seriously?
We all know that if McCain had been elected President we would have been bombing the shit out of Iran since around 2009, and would currently be moving toward our third world war. If not our fourth.
I think the President is responding to Netanyahu exactly the way he needs to be responded to, and the evidence for that is how quickly he backtracked on his one state solution idea that is promoted in order to get reelected.
