I would have thought it obvious to anyone with just a modicum of intelligence to see that Netanyahu, so ably backed by AIPAC, has been successful in emasculating this president.

Netanyahu is now King! And kings always have it over presidents.

Only problem is accepting the concept of a Likud run Union. I guess we'll get used it. Like we got used to recession and AIDS - just something we gotta live with cos there's sure nobody visible out there who's goin to change it, not anytime soon, anyway.

That's just life, politics and the art of propaganda properly positioned in the mind of the public. Or as they say, living with crap and hasbara.
