#9  More likely the White House doesn't have much at its disposal to use in influencing the elections.

#8  Biden wouldn't be that stupid. (There's enough remaining Donks in the House and Senate who understand that after the November election)

#7  O has no OODA Loop, he has an OODA Spiral, analogous to dirty water circling the drain in a bathtub. Threats like this by O are just cries for love and attention. ;/

#6  Don't worry. Anything Obama will think of was incorporated into Bibi's calculations moths ago.

Curse Obama. Evil sloth.

#4  Timely release of "rumors" - veiled threats and designed to derail Bibi's re-election hopes. Obama knows that if he slaps sanctions on Israel then she will disregard anything he does, so he won't (just yet), however he also knows the threat of sanctions may force cooperation from the elements within the electorate who fear isolation. For the Israeli majority this tact will only foment more anti-Obama sentiment and remind Israel that she can no longer rely on a once great ally.

#3  Money could not buy better publicity and support for Netanyahu. With any luck, the spoor will lead directly back to the oval office and his syphilitic dementia afflicted inner-circle.
