Obama doesn't need to make promises to Israel to get reelected. And he won't.

The POTUS can't stop a strike against Iran or another false flag.

But he is too lazy to sell it. Might interfere with his golf game or interrupt his rec. time.

Israel will have to take it's chances alone or wait another 4 years.

I don't believe that Obama has ideological problems with just about anything but he can't use his spare time, he can't be bothered.
