Bibi 2012. Let’s do this.

President Obama’s hot-miked conversation with French President Nicolas Sarkozy suggested that he is frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — but Americans might be more frustrated with Obama than they are irritated by Netanyahu.

“A poll conducted by the group Greenberg Quinlan Rosner found that 52.3 percent of Americans rate Netanyahu positively, compared to 51.5 percent for Obama,” reports Israel Today Magazine. “The results of the poll were enthusiastically discussed on Israel’s Channel 10 News on Thursday.”

No surprise there, actually. Remember Bibi’s speech before Congress? Members of Obama’s own party joined Republicans in giving the Israeli prime minister more standing ovations than Obama got during his State of the Union address. Bibi is a strong, pro-American leader of a strong, pro-American ally. Americans like that, oddly enough.
