Young Obama vs. Young Bibi: Still No Contest

Is there a reason why Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu kicks Obama's ass, morally and intellectually, at every turn?  Maybe it's something about their upbringing, maybe it's something about their youth...


Clarice Feldman:

You need only compare pictures of Netanyahu and Obama as young men to see the difference. One is a serious person, the other a jive-ass.

Like Obama, Netanyahu has fine educational credentials, with degrees from Harvard and MIT, but Netanyahu has been personally tested in battle, where rash, unconsidered actions have immediate, fatal consequences. Obama until now has been pontificating and swanning about. His only real battles to date have been with straw men of his own making.


Yeah, but when you look at the two pictures above, who do you think Democratic politicians, MSM editorial writers, and garden-variety liberals identify with?  And thus, right or wrong, who do you think they are rooting for?  The man who resembles them as they were (or still are), or the man they were never brave enough or strong enough to be?

And how much of that fuels the anti-Israeli, anti-Bibi, pro-Obama sentiment that oozes out of every channel and every newspaper in the nation?

OK, OK, I know the answer...
