OMG Did Dear Leader Give Romney an Opening!

Is Romney savvy enough to hold a press conference with Netanyahu tomorrow, saying that America stands by its long-standing ally?  It's a coup teed up and just waiting...let's see.

Just a reminder, I said this on January 5, 2012:

- 2012 Election is Close Until Sep-Oct When Obama Blows It ala McCain in 2008: Obama's political skills are awesome, but his political instincts are terrible. He will do quite egregious things to please his base (wow! as if on cue). He will run neck and neck with Romney/Ryan until he blows it with a policy gaffe that conspicuously reminds voters what an amateur and/or liberal fascist he is. The gaffe could even be a Clintonite engineered self-destruction conspiracy. (Wow! I could be early on this one!)

I thought "You Didn't Build That" was that quite egregious thing.  Could the Netanyahu snub be that thing, that decisive, revealing fumble???

UPDATE:  Walter Russell Mead says the roof has caved in, although WRM and I differ greatly on how rickety the structure was in the first place. Here's WRM:
While the economy was no great shakes, the President’s stewardship of foreign affairs helped give his administration an air of competence and professionalism.
Really?  Honduras.  Reset buttons.  Bowing.  Giving Putin the promise of flexibility.  Insulting Bibi to Sarkozy.  Copehhagen.  Driving Canada into the arms of China.  I ask again, "Really?"

UPPDATE:  Here is another prediction I made on January 2011, cold-showering the CW that Obama was a lock to win re-election.  Much of that post is looking spot on, but this bit especially:
The world will look a mess, further revealling what a non-entity at best, a provocateur through his weakness at worst, Obama is on the world stage.
Sure looks like a mess to me.
