McCain to Obama: get over your temper tantrum
[REUTERS] U.S. Senator  John MaverickMcCain ... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution... accused President Barack Obama teachable moment... of throwing a "temper tantrum" over comments by Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu, adding to the conflict between the White House and the Republican-dominated Congress over Israel. McCain, asked on CNN's "State of the Union" show if U.S.-Israel relations were at a dangerous point, said, "I think that's up to the president of the United States." Obama's sensitive relationship with Netanyahu was strained further by comments Netanyahu made in the closing moments of his successful campaign for re-election last week. "The president should get over it," McCain said on CNN. "Get over your temper tantrum, Mr. President. It's not a 'temper tantrum' Senator. Normative behavior, quite normative. You're simply seeing the Champ for who he really is. "The least of your problems is what Bibi Netanyahu said during an election campaign. If every politician were held to everything they say in a political campaign, obviously that would be a topic of long discussion." Posted by: Fred 2015-03-23 |
