Thou shall not cross Dear Leader.
With their gutter sniping failing to stop Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned March speech before Congress, White House aides are unloading their full arsenal of bile.
“He spat in our face publicly, and that’s no way to behave,” one Obama aide told an Israeli newspaper. “Netanyahu ought to remember that President Obama has a year and a half left to his presidency, and that there will be a price.”
It is pointless to say petty threats do not become the Oval Office. Trying to instruct this White House on manners recalls what Mark Twain said about trying to teach a pig to sing: It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
Still, the fury is telling. It reminds, as if we could forget, that everything is always about Obama. How dare Israel be more concerned with the existential threat of Iranian nukes than with Obama’s feelings? And what do members of Congress think they are, a separate branch of government or something?
Yes, the presidency deserves respect, even when the president doesn’t. Although Obama routinely ignores lawmakers and their role in our constitutional system of checks and balances, there is an argument afoot that Congress should have taken the high road and consulted him before inviting Netanyahu.
The argument has a point — but not a compelling one. To give Obama veto power over the visit would be to put protocol and his pride before the most important issue in the world.
Modal Trigger
That is Iran’s march to nuclear weapons, and Obama’s foolish complicity. His claim at the State of the Union that “we’ve halted the progress of its nuclear program and reduced its stockpile of nuclear material” would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous...

I’m loving this, Boehner may have bumbled his way into this but it doesn’t look like he’s backing down. Now Rivlin won’t take up Obolas’ Invitation to meet, this is too good. Obola is really showing his petulant side, I hope he goes full melt down.
Amen
I expect Netanyahu to deliver the greatest speech of this young century. Really looking forward to it.
Yep.
Obama may as well hold a press conference to say, "Attack Israel Now, Because We Won't Have Her Back."
Yep. But as someone mentioned on another thread, Netanyahu knows everything about Obama, which should slow the pig down.
“....Obama has a year and a half left to his presidency, and that there will be a price.”
.
Wow, this is nothing short of an international diplomatic threat.
Great point.
In the past, American presidents have occasionally issued threats to our enemies.
They put dedicated well known Jew hater Samantha Powers in the UN and her truly evil hubbie is Suss Castein another far left radical and Israel enemy who worked for these Soros props .
“Iran’s march to nuclear weapons, and Obama’s foolish complicity”
this is a fundamental problem with so many people today.
he is not idly watching iran ... he’s encouraging it. he’s doing everything in his power to make sure ottoman empire II has the bomb before he leaves office
oh.. btw, he’s got 2 more years in office, not 18 months.
it’s pretty bad when a guy living in the florida sticks has a better understanding of 0bama’s employment term then those working under him in the same building. stunning... but not unexpected from dems
I often wondered why the US wasn’t in any of the prophecies of end times.
I guess the good news is that we only have him for 2 years.
I got chills reading that response. You nailed it.
This whole thing is so bizarre. Obama got set off the rails by an invitation. They White House is going berserk over this. Not about Iran, not about Syria, not about Russia, not about Benghazi, not about EU currency war... an invitation.
Neither do the self styled conservatives who told the forum there was no difference between Obama and McCain, between Obama and Romney, or between Democrats and Republicans.
Why wouldn’t Islamists be offended by a Netanyahu address to Congress?
As one who has been in precisely that category, I thank you for pointing that out. Great observation.
Nonsense. And keep your conservative attacks to yourself. Just because some of these would be better on Israel not not excuse their embrace of Amnesty, Obamacare, failure to do crap about an out of control bureaucracy, and not giving a damn about a federal budget kareening towards collapse.
They could make a nice dent in the deficit by selling chances to spit in Obola’s face for, say, $100 a gob.
You make my point.
When are liberal Jews going to learn that the Democrats since FDR have only been interested in them for donations and fundraising. FDR, Truman, Carter, Clinton and Obama all said antisemitic things in private .
Dems likened Israel to apartheid state. Kerry wanted to BDS Israel. Obama’s people called Bibi a coward. Kerry threatened to allow UN measures to be passed in the security council. Obama has said Israel must return the the 67 borders. Dems are in favor of giving half of Jerusalem to Muzzies.
I all all these acts taken together with the financial aid to the PLO, and Hamas to be antisemitic.
I forgot, they are allowing Iran to drag it feet and get a Nuke arsenal. What do you think Iran will do with that arsenal,
yes, Iran will try to wipe the Jewish nation out. Dem Liberal Jews it will be on your head if this happens!!!
Bunch of Jew hating oven lighting brownshirted goosestepping Nazi’s in the Obama Administration
If you did, you would be on our side and you would not be embracing RINOs.
But you are not. You are the enemy, as much as any Democrat.
