Why Were Polls So Wrong On Netanyahu?

So the preelection polls in Israel were totally off the mark

Netanyahu essentially hit it out of the proverbial park

How right up to election night could the polls have been so wrong?

Was it a slant the White House wanted to hear from the fawning media throng?

Or was it the revelations of White House attempts to influence the election that did not belong

Almost $400 grand in funds so the voters would say to Netanyahu “so long!”

Was it the snub of their Prime Minister to before a joint session of Congress to give a forceful speech?

On the real dangers that a sunset clause would put nukes for Iran in easy reach?

Boycotted by the White House and boycotted shamefully by a good number of Blues

Almost like the specter of anti-Semitism being renewed
The Israelis after living through thousands of Hamas rockets given to them by Iran have a right to be afraid
When even Iron Dome could not shield them from nuclear tipped missile blades
In the past leaders even those viewed as dangers to the U.S. on election received a kudos call
In Netanyahu’s win when it comes to picking up the phone Obama stalls

He is acting like a spoiled kid who did not get his way and heads to the corner to pout

But in this case he brought the football and leaves with it so the others will be without

Picky, petty, narcisstic, unable to rise above his personal envy and dislike  for someone who can lead

While he lacks any skills in that regard so our security and standing continue to recede.
