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

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 Prime Minister 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.

IIRC, Clintoon wanted to do the same thing...

I'm pretty sure (not 100%) that no permanent member of the UN Security Council may also hold the Sec Gen's chair.

I was going to add that the UN undoubtedly wouldn't want an American either, but then I remembered that we were talking about 0bama.

Except for the moon of Endor, and a lack of talent, he could've tried for Galactic Emperor, a job he probably thinks he is richly suited for.

Got a good chuckle out of that one.

That's the way it used to be, not sure if it's been changed.

You are correct. Wanna bet they'll find a way of making an exception for The One?

I would be very happy if an exception to any further participation of any kind in the UN by the United States were made!

And they can have B O for their Sec General today for all I care!

I thought I recalled it from when our Bliar (not a typo) was stepping down. He was angling for it too and got slapped down hard.

They won't need to.

After he leaves office, obama will declare that he really was born in Kenya, and that he's "reclaiming his lost Kenyan citizenship", and will therefore be eligible for the position!

That is possible. There are already rumors that he may be moving to one of the Muslim Gulf States.

Wouldn't that be something? An ex-President who renounces his American citizenship (which is already in question, btw) and then moves to a Muslim country, claims he is in fact a Muslim, and declares citizenship there. That would be a political and national security earthquake. Everything Obama has ever seen, would have to be changed and procedures would have to be altered.

We have to hope that Obama does not have access to the names of foreign operatives, because they would be in jeopardy. With Hussein Obama, nothing is out of the question.
