Wider Implications of Domestic Failure

The Israeli government, like our own GOP, is hoping Obama fails on the healthcare reform bill. Haaretz columnist Akiva Eldar:

"Health care reform was a kind of entrance exam for Obama before tackling the Mideast. Netanyahu and his aides did not conceal their hope that Obama would slip up and lose prestige at home and abroad."

So if the bill fails, the Israelis will drop any pretense of giving a sh*t what the US thinks and do whatever they want. Wonder how those fine GOP patriots will rationalize undermining US influence and power abroad just to screw over Obama?
