WNU Editor: Lousy relations with Israel. The Iraqi PM complaining that the U.S. is not doing enough to battle the Islamic State. Yemen's President and close ally to the U.S. has just gotten turfed out. U.S. - Egypt relations frosty at best. Turkey doing everything to obstruct U.S. efforts in the Middle East. And now .... with the death of the Saudi King .... talk of "worst-case scenarios" are being bandied about.

Obama is a do nothing President. How many times has he threatened to veto a bill and then signed it off with the statement, more or less 'this bill contains things I don't like but ....'.

Perhaps he should call Netanyahu and suggest he back step on the invitation and seek the President's nod to proceed or be declared Person non Grata for the remainder of Obama's term. How would that sit with the Israeli electorate?

All Obama has to lose now is some elite position in a major corporation. Big deal.
