John, I forwarded my note to Peter Baker of the New York Times separately to Dan Pfeiffer and John Kerry with the suggestion that the way I frame the issue---that it is not Netanyahu versus
the Obama Administration but Netanyahu versus democratic nations throughout the world----
is the way that the administration and Democrats should frame the issue.  Brent

The narrative put out by Netanyahu/Likud and Boehner/Republicans is that it is Obama who is the odd man out.  The truth is that Obama and U.S. policy on this matter are fully in line with Europe, NATO and democratic nations and it is Netanyahu and his Likud coalition who are the odd ones out and opposing the near unanimous position of democratic  nations throughout the world.
