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.

Dear Speaker Boehner,

If the IslamoNazi=Democrat party members won’t attend Congress that day,
please give the seats to some of us more decent, loyal Americans who would just love to hear Bibi

he’s a very bright fellow, he speaks truth to power (which is of cousre part of what the D’s are so afraid of)
and... he’s a really great speaker, too....

Did Obama consult Congress about his moves with Cuba? Then why should Congress have to get permission from the Putzident to have Bibi over for a chat?

To Quote someone we all know “Elections have Consequences...”

By the way Why would the Democrat’s want to usurp the White House and State Department? Are they not only changing the timing in such admitting the Authority to have him come speak is well within the Houses jurisdiction... Which it is!

Here is an Idea, Side with Good and Call Evil out by its Name, As Benjamin Netanyahu Does!!!

God Bless Israel! May they Know America is its Friend and obama and its Administration along with the DNC are NOT!

The Enemy is within and until we deal with that Enemy we will Never be able to Deal with the Enemy’s outside the Nation!

How about we make Pelosi a deal: She (somehow) get herself elected as HOUSE SPEAKER and THEN she can decide when, and if, Bibi address Congress.

Seems reasonable to me...

A lot of people are saying this speech is politicaly backfiring on the Israelly PM. Are they right or wrong? I still do not understand what the big deal is myself.

diplomacy? with whom? Perhaps the WH wants to wait more time so it can negotiate with its enemy Israel?

What is missing may be two question marks.

“The white House has to be notified? really?”

What a bunch of morons. If the RATS were worried about anything Netanyahu had to say these antics have only drawn extra attention to it. It will also likely create blow-back in Israel as the people there see this as one more reason they need somebody like Netanyahu to stand up to this UnAmerican Islamo-Nazi collaborator. Rats are usually more politically astute. This temper tantrum will only achieved the opposite of their goal: Netanyahu’s defeat.

Hmmm I wonder if Nancy Pelosi had any issue when she invited Assad in 2007 against Bush’s wishes..guess it was all fine and dandy when she did it..again and again the left shows Jews what they think of them and Jews again and again vote Democrat..think they will learn their lesson, of course not

Wasn’t Pelosi meeting with foreign leaders when Bush was President?

Yep!
