John Bolton speaking to Megyn Kelly about Obama’s UN speech:
“I think he’s put Israel on the chopping block, I don’t think there’s ever been a speech by an American President at the United Nations that was so critical of Israel.”
Bolton also said “I’ve never seen an American president give a speech at the united nations that spent so much time contrasting his administration with the previous administration,” and called it “a speech more designed for an American audience than an international audience.” Bolton was “struck by how personal and unpresidential it was.”
Let’s go to the video:

In declaring that it is time for Middle East peace “without preconditions,” President Obama used his speech to the U.N. General Assembly Wednesday to fire a warning at Israel that “America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements.”
Obama’s stark declaration, which drew applause, was coupled with a call for Palestinians to end their “incitement of Israel.”
But it was the use of the U.N. forum to carry the settlement message to Israel that drew the most enthusiastic response on the floor — and incredulous reaction outside its walls.
Obama just put Israel “on the chopping block,” said former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton.
Obama said he met Tuesday with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was not in attendance at the speech, and agreed that the two have made some progress in both strengthening security and facilitating freedom of movement, which have allowed the economy in the West Bank to grow.
