DISOBEDIENT PET POODLES

Israeli Prime Ministers are accustomed to keeping American Presidents as their pet poodles.  Pets that are expected to be loyal and obedient despite how badly they are treated by their owners.

It is small wonder that Netanyahu is livid that he has a disobedient pet poodle on his hands, in Barack Obama, who refused a direct order to veto an item before the Security Council.

Probably, even more troubling to him is that the incoming President

is, himself, the pet poodle of another President and will have to check first with him before doing anything for Bibi.
