I'll wager that Bambam is pretty embarrassed that his backdoor effort to sabotage Netanyahu's re-election came to light.
He pretty much painted himself into a corner - what can he say?
The petty move to interfere with an ally's election, after claiming he would NOT meet with him because he didn't want to interfere with the election exposes Obama for the slippery Chicago politician he truly is.
Cue yet another scandal for Obama directing US Taxpayer money to be used in his meddling in the Israeli election.
