I've Been Thinking:
People quote polls as if they were quoting the gospel.
They are not - and polls now being conducted in Israel, prior to the upcoming election, are a great example.
Recent polls are showing that Likud, the party of Prime Minister Netanyahu, is gaining. Likud has moved into the top slot. With each passing week their numbers have been increasing.
This increased fame and political fortune comes despite the fact pundits in both Israel and the United States predicted that Bibi would take a huge hit because he accepted the Boehner invitation to address both house of Congress.
Actually, the opposite is true. Netanyahu is more popular and his party continues to grow in popularity.
One of the reasons for this rise in popularity is that Israelis enjoyed seeing their prime minister standing up to Obama. If the
White House wants to sabotage Bib in the next election - they should be nice to him. That would send a very different message to Israel.
It would paint Netanyahu with the brush of a failed US Mid East policy and that would be the political kiss of death.
Instead, Obama has breathed new life into his campaign. Netanyahu and his Likud party are flourishing.
