"U.N. Security Council to condemn Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem as a “flagrant violation” of international law."

But of course this is true. Just that Israel has been able to get the White House veto its illegality time again. Obama just did a number on Bibi. This is the result of Bibi and Obama having such bad relations. But you know what, Bibi should not be surprised at Obama vindictive personality. Canada found this out years ago with our Keystone XL pipeline and other issues. 
Putin knows about Obama's little man temper and shallow intelligence long ago. This is why he is able to outmaneuver him time again. 
The American voters chose two light-weight presidents over 16 years. One is a dimwit dogmatic war criminal . One is a vindictive small mind black man wrapped himself with white man's grandiose imperialism. Both epic failures. 
I eagerly await to write the same thing about Trump 8 years from now.
