Report: Obama Wants to Become UN Secretary General, Netanyahu Doing Everything He Can to Stop Him

Leah Barkoukis | Jan 10, 2016

It seems President Obama has no intention of stepping out of the White House and fading from the limelight. No, he’s got his sights set on the world stage—this time as secretary general of the United Nations, according to Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida.

But not all world leaders are keen to see this come to fruition, including first and foremost, Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Washington Times reports:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly is planning payback for President Obama’s dismissing Mr. Netanyahu’s objections to the Iran nuclear deal last year. Mr. Netanyahu is said to be rallying moderate Arabs to thwart Mr. Obama’s bid to become the Secretary-General of the United Nations after he leaves the White House next year.

Mr. Obama has already discussed the issue with Republican, Democratic and Jewish officials in the United States, according to Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida.

Mr. Netanyahu recently is said to have gotten wind of Obama’s plans which he calls the Obama Project. “Wasn’t eight years of having Obama in office enough?” Mr. Netanyahu is quoted in the Kuwaiti daily as telling associates. “Eight years during which he ignored Israel? And now he wants to be in a position that is liable to cause us hardships in the international arena.”

Further gripes Israel has with President Obama include the U.S. “moving closer to the Muslim Brotherhood, toppling the regime of Hosni Mubarak, and attempts to ally itself with political Islam,” the paper quotes a Netanyahu aide as saying.

U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's term expires in early 2017, making Obama’s bid for the position a possibility. Last year after his speech at West Point, some pointed out that he sounded an awful lot like he was campaigning for the role.

Obama Could Become President of the Whole World | The American Spectator

--------------------------------
When Obama delivers his final State of the Union address on Tuesday night, there will be 374 days before his term comes to its merciful end.

But does Barack Obama strike you as the type who would be content to spend the rest of his days painting portraits and landscapes as George W. Bush has done?

Word has it is that Obama wants to be Secretary-General of the United Nations. Ban Ki-Moon’s term concludes at the end of 2016 and it just so happens that Obama is available. (It would be interesting if Obama resigned on New Year’s Day 2017 and let Joe Biden become President for the final 20 days of his term.)

For a citizen of the globe like Obama being President of the United States is an office too small for his lifestyle, ambitions, and ideology. Should Obama become UN Secretary-General, he could become President of the Whole World.

Think about that. I know you don't want to, but we must.
Secretary-General Obama would still have a pen and a phone, could disrupt New York City traffic and travel all over the world and hear himself talk as he gives speeches about Islam’s contributions to the world, climate change, gun control, police brutality and income inequality, particularly in the country he led, while staying in the opulent hotels and eating in the swankiest restaurants. But the best part of the job is that Obama could continue to make life a living hell for Israel especially Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Despite Obama’s best efforts, when Netanyahu was re-elected last March he was guaranteed to outlast Obama in elected office. But if Obama becomes the leader of the organization that has done more than any other to delegitimize Israel, Bibi’s problems will have only just begun. Needless to say, Netanyahu is incensed at the idea. According to the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida, Bibi reportedly asked his top advisers, “Wasn’t eight years of having Obama in office enough?” From Bibi’s lips to God’s ear.

Bibi went on to say, “Eight years during which he ignored Israel? And now he wants to be in a position that is liable to cause us hardships in the international arena.” If anything, Netanyahu is understating his case. Obama hasn’t ignored Israel. Indeed, he and members of his administration have made an example of Israel time and again. It was just a few days ago that State Department spokesman John Kirby read Israel the riot act for 10 acres of land expansion in the West Bank. That’s right. Ten acres. The sad truth is that Israel will face greater consequences for those 10 acres than Iran will for launching a rocket with 1,500 feet of the USS Harry Truman in the Strait of Hormuz. While the Obama Administration won’t give an inch to Israel, it has given so many inches to Iran that it came within a mile of destroying one of our warships.

Netanyahu is reportedly trying to work with the Gulf Arab states (who are every bit as angered at Obama over the Iran nuclear deal) to thwart his candidacy. But Bibi has a steep road ahead of him. If Netanyahu could not stop the Iran nuclear deal with a friendly U.S. Congress, then how can he stop Obama’s bid to be Secretary General with a hostile UN General Assembly? As we found out with the Iran nuclear deal and with Obamacare, what Obama wants Obama gets.

Truth be told it probably doesn’t matter who succeeds Obama in the White House. While Hillary Clinton served as Obama’s Secretary of State, she was its “designated yeller” when it came to Netanyahu. Should Hillary be elected, I suspect she will not delegate this particular task. Although Donald Trump has had a friendly relationship with Bibi in the past (even recording a commercial for him in the 2013 Israeli elections), he recently blamed Israel for being unwilling to make peace with the Palestinians. This despite the fact that it was Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas who declared the Oslo Accords a dead letter during his speech to the UN General Assembly last September.

There is the possibility that Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio could become the Republican nominee. But if that comes to pass, does anyone think Trump won’t launch a third party run? Israel will be in a bad place with either Hillary or Trump in the White House. She will be in an even worse place if Obama is at the helm of the UN. To paraphrase Joe Egan and the late Gerry Rafferty of Stealers Wheel, Bibi will have a clown to the left of him, a joker to the right and be stuck in the middle with Obama.
