This is what a world leader should sound like.

Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu schooled the UN yesterday in a speech that reminded us all of the climate in which the UN itself was created. Unlike President Obama, he was unequivocal and unapologetic about protecting his country.

Our President started off his speech like a campaign speech, spending too much time talking about himself, apologizing for America’s past and showcasing the changes he’s made, strongly implying that America is ready to take its relations with the rest of the world seriously now, as if this wasn’t the case before.

Here’s the text of Netanyahu’s speech posted by Michael Goldfarb over at The Weekly Standard’s blog.

Here’s the President’s speech from earlier this week.
