What his victory implies for 2016:
Israel, like America, has a “silent majority” and they have stood up tall in opposition to so-called liberalism/progressivism and defeatism against Islamic terror. That same “silent majority” is very likely to stand up again in this country in 2016 for similar reasons. They already did in 2014 – and they could go further, unraveling all of Obama’s policies and destroying his legacy.
Well, we can hope. I do suspect there was a backlash against what was clearly perceived to be the administration’s interference in the election. Which makes the victory that much more sweet.

Bibi’s win makes leftists cry (there’s nothing “liberal” about them).

Israel chose Bibi over Barack.
Yup.

Bibifreude, baby.
[Mid-afternoon update]
Powerline has more.
I had a feeling the claims that it was a close race were more wishful thinking than reality.
I would hope even Israel could find fresh leaders, and on that aspect I hope the US is different. I’m glad they didn’t let the Obama Administration lead them into a dangerous path for our pathetics President’s legacy, which because of its pen and phone implementation will unravel when he steps out of office.
It’s nice to know that State Department money was used against Bibi.

Obama does not interfere in foreign elections, period. /s
Unfortunately, a Republican media relations company helped Netanyahu so that criticism will be a little blunted. Still, it is a significant difference than a sitting President working to overthrow an ally head of state.
If taxpayer money was involved in the Israeli election, it doesn’t matter what a “Republican media relations company” did.
Almost everything Obama says is a lie…except when he inadvertently tells you his real goals ( e.g. energy bills will necessarily skyrocket).
He said he wouldn’t meet with Bibi on this latest visit because he didn’t want to interfere with the Israeli election….all the while Obama’s state department is funneling money to the opposition.
Why anyone supports this congenital liar is beyond understanding.
