US lawmakers propose PM move speech to joint session of Congress until after Israel election on March 17.
WASHINGTON – Democrats in the House of Representatives are suggesting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu postpone his speech to a joint session of Congress until after the Israeli election on March 17.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California) said it was “not appropriate” for Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to invite Netanyahu without first notifying the White House – a move that angered the Obama administration.
Netanyahu is expected to advocate for a different policy on Iran that the president has thus far pursued.
“Such a presentation could send the wrong message in terms of giving diplomacy a chance,” Pelosi said. She spoke with Netanyahu by phone on Wednesday.

Boehner needs to stand firm on this.
Watch the drivebys jump on this and ask Boehner why not do this in the name of bi-partisanship?.

Pelosi is now the MINORITY leader. Anything she says is an impotent public relations gig.

The white House has to be notified really. The House of Representatives are the ones whom have to invite him to give the State of the Union address to the nation. Come now Odumbo, the WH has no standing on this issue. Go away Obama you petulant child.

I hope Bibi leads off with something like, “I know SecState Kerry thinks I'm the warm up act for James Taylor, but . . . “

Gee Nanzi, just how many YEARS does it take to
give diplomacy a chance?
Obama is willing to pay BILLIONS for a moth eaten rug
from some Iranian in the Souk and is even willing to pay
him to haggle over it.

Your first sentence seems to contradict the rest of your post. Maybe I missed something.

Next time the House should ask Bibi if they should
invite Obama for the SOU. It’s only fair.

gotoHell, D’s!
listen to Bibi, he’s a good speaker...and intelligent .. you might even learn something...
or do you really want to be like Obama, telling Bibi to use the back door by the garbage cans?
(and also walking out on him during dinner)

The GOP squandered over six available years to pick and poke the thin skin of Obama. They should have used his character flaw against him. Obama surrounds himself with psychotic flatterers; there is no telling what they would have advised him to do.

Hey, Nancy. Is it 'appropriate' for operatives from Obama's administration to
TRAVEL TO ISRAEL to try to undermine their current leader's election?
STFU, be-otch!
