While a number of key Democrats were still wondering whether attending Netanyahu's speech to Congress in February would be proper, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) was adamant that "it sends the wrong signal. Congress acting in contradiction to the wishes of the President undermines his authority. If his Congressional subordinates can defy him without consequence, what will foreign leaders think?"
A second consideration weighing on Pelosi's mind was "the unfairness of the United States appearing to endorse Netanyahu in his upcoming March election campaign. For Congress to interfere with another country's electoral process is just not right."
As for interfering with another country's elections, though, it would seem that the arrival of Obama's former campaign aides to assist those campaigning against Netanyahu is okay. "It is the President's duty to protect our country's vital interests and prevent individuals who may be hostile to him from gaining or retaining political control in foreign countries," Pelosi contended. The former House Speaker cited President Obama's efforts to oust former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak as "an instance in which our influence was pivotal in helping the Muslim Brotherhood to bring true democracy to that nation."
The Muslim Brotherhood has since been deposed by General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Since taking power Sisi has caused a stir by urging Muslims to turn away from violence as a means of propagating Islam. Pelosi called this turn of events "regrettable," but insisted that "it should not be blamed on President Obama. He did the best he could, but cannot yet control everything that happens around the world."
Ironically, news of Obama's hostility toward Netanyahu seems to have boosted the Israeli Prime Minister in the polls. As one poll respondent put it, "Obama is an enabler of antisemitism and jihad. If he's against Bibi, then every Jew who hopes to avoid extermination should be for him."

Bibi will be pleased, he can use big words when he speaks.
Which part is the satire? I’m having trouble finding it.
The complicit media FAILED to report that Obama actually participated in election rallies and campaigns for left wing candidates in Africa prior to his rise in American national politics. The country where he did his filibustering was Kenya.

Is this part news, or satire?
Really good satire results when the distinction between fact and fiction begins to blur. Satire needs truth in order to succeed.
Anyway, I’m hoping the Congressional Black Caucus & their white liberal allies will behave like spoiled children and storm out of the chamber when Netanyahu begins to speak.
Complete with clenched fist salutes and shouts of “Free Palestine!!”
I wonder if she supports $10.10 an hour for vineyard workers.
True.
Regarding the CBC, it's been fascinating to observe that the Ferguson, MO, "justice" protestors are being run by the same old batch of anti-Semitic Commie trash.
Same here!
Where’s the satire John?
EXCELLENT!
Don’t know if the “respondent” part is true. But the boost in poll numbers is.
100%
The Democrats are blatantly supporting the terrorists
