A new anti-Obama ad features Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking about the grave threats of a nuclear-armed Iran.
The commercial is airing in the key swing state of Florida, targeted at Jewish voters.
Secure America Now is behind the $400,000 media buy. The group is lead by John McLaughlin, a former adviser for Netanyahu's Likud Party and former California Gov Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Urgent: The ad uses Benjamin Netanyahu words to stress the importance of tougher action against Iran

The video uses footage from a speech Netanyahu gave on September 11 about the urgency of dealing with Iran's nuclear program.
'The fact is that every day that passes, Iran gets closer and closer to to nuclear bombs...The world tells Israel wait, there's still time. And I say, "Wait for what? Wait until when?"' he says.

The video cuts in with a news clipping that says 'Current US policy rejects "setting deadlines" on Iran.'
It is the only reference to Obama in the piece.
'The world needs American strength. Not apologies,' the ominous TV spot says.

Pals: Mitt Romney and Netanyahu have been friends since they met in Boston in the 1970s

Because Secure America Now is a 501(c)4 'social welfare organization' it is not required to disclose its financial backers.
However, Politicoreports that the group plans to spend $1million running the ad in Miami, West Palm Beach and Fort Myers -- the areas with the highest percentage of Jewish voters in Florida.
Netanyahu and Romney have been friends since they met in Boston in the late 1970s and kept in touch ever since.
However, the Israeli leader has not publicly endorsed Romney.



Side note on this Bibi Netanyahu has known Leah Lax since 1967 in Philadelphia and has remained friends with her since also. She is Pro Israel and is running against Barack Hussein Obama in the General Election as a write in vote.

Yeah Yeah Yeah Sarkozy , Whatever!

'You have my friendship': Sarkozy tries to patch things up with 'liar' Netanyahu by offering condolences for death of his father-in-law

French president Nicolas Sarkozy has made a grovelling bid to get his friendship with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu back on track - ten days after branding him 'a liar'.

Sarkozy issued the slur in a private conversation with US president Barack Obama that was overheard by journalists at the G20 summit.

The French leader told Mr Obama: 'I can not bear Netanyahu, he's a liar.'

Problems: A private exchange between French president Nicolas Sarkozy, and US president Barack Obama about Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was overheard was caught on an open mic

Obama replied: 'You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!'

Sarkozy has now tried to make up for the gaffe in a letter offering condolences to Netanyahu for the death of his father-in-law.

In addition to words of sympathy, Sarkozy wrote: 'You have my friendship, and our differing views on the problems of the Middle East, and the interpretations appearing in the media, have no effect on it.'

Details of the letter were released to French news agency AFP by officials in the Israeli leader's office.

Mr Obama also sent condolences for the death of Shmuel Ben-Artzi, father of Netanyahu's wife, Sara, but made no mention of the remarks made in Cannes on November 13.

In the same conversation, caught when microphones were accidentally left on, Sarkozy also branded Greek prime minister George Papandreou 'a madman'.

The French president was heard being scathing over Mr Papandreou's call for a referendum on the financial bailout for his country, which the Greeks later cancelled before Papandreou quit office.

Sarkozy told Mr Obama: 'This madman Papandreou comes up with his referendum.

'But it's because he is depressed, so there's no point giving him a hard time about it. He's already on his knees. Knockout!'

The journalists agreed not to publish the overheard chat and stick to the 'rules of conduct' that applied to covering the summit - but one reporter later leaked the details to the Arret Sur Images news website.

A spokesman at the Elysee Palace said later: 'We have no knowledge of this conversation, but there are a lot of stupid things circulating on the internet. We can't comment on everything.'
