From gutsy to gutless

Obama tries to dictate peace in the Middle East, gets schooled by Netanyahu. He's had two years to learn this, but his advisers from academia keep misleading him. If the President thinks this will help his reelection chances, not so much.

Jeffrey Goldberg objects, saying "Mr. Netanyahu, don't speak to my president that way." If the President wants respect he has to earn it. He's made a practice of treating our allies like dirt and our enemies with kid gloves. There were lots of Americans who cheered Bibi today.

Professor Jacobson points out Goldberg's misreading of the word "expect."
