Obama apology

The Atlantic magazine reports that senior administration officials made despicable and insulting comments about Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. President Obama has not apologized and has not fired anyone yet.

Israel is the only democracy and our strongest ally in the Middle East.

Back in November 2011, Obama was caught on a hot mic trash-talking Netanyahu with former French president Sarkozy. It was shameful and it embarrassed our country.
