Publically supporting Netanyahu's saber-rattling would not advance the negotiations the POTUS is persuing to avoid further regional conflict.
You really needy a new angle.

The best thing to do when I child throws a tantrum because they want something, is to turn your back and walk away. The child will soon stop and run to catch up.
Guess which one is throwing the childish tantrum?
You?
The fact that you call a head of state a “child” shows your immaturity and lack of understanding.
Obama should be talking Bibi off the cliff rather than turning his back like a child.
The fact remains that the POTUS should not act like a CHILD and he should address this issue. America will be drawn into any conflict with Iran, so by turning his back Obama is ensuring more loss of American life.
I said Obama should talk him off the ledge rather than acting like a child. Do you want to avert war????
So it's not ok to call Netanyahu a child, but it's ok to call your own potus a child?
I agree with a lot of your posts but I think your hatred for the left is blinding you.
As for the op I think Obama did the right thing Netanyahu has been running his mouth like nutjob and making demands of us, he needs to chill the f out. I understand he feels backed into a corner but, pointing your finger and airing your fear based rhetoric across the international community is not gonna win you any points.
What I think is that the POTUS should show that he will not pander to the needs of a state leader that is, in all essence, throwing a tantrum.

If you’re the boss and you have an employee who is “throwing a tantrum” should you ignore him and pretend it isn’t happening -OR- should you do the responsible thing and address the issue before it gets out of hand and negatively effects your business.
Think about it…..
It's not an employee though, is it? An employee would most likely recieve a written warning or be fired for such actions, so I guess that is an appropriate response to this, send a written warning.
If the leader of Japan was saying the same things about China, would you be advocating the same response?
Netanyahu is foaming at the mouth, mad to attack. Obama is only holding off for the election. If he's put back in office, it won't take long for the bombs to drop. I don't believe Obama is backing off for any other than political reasons. The closer it gets to election time, the more careful and seemingly anti war, politicians get, to appease voters who are sick of it.

Ladies and gentlemen….we now understand the reasoning.
You’re looking for legalities and fallbacks rather than what SHOULD be done. A LEADER would take control of the situation and make the outcome favorable rather than sniffing sand!
