Obama administration goes on offensive against Netanyahu
politico.com ^ | 2/25/15 | Edward-Isaac Dovere

For weeks, the White House has taken a deliberate approach to dealing with the controversy over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heading to Congress to bash him: Step out of the way, and try to come out ahead.

One week out from the speech, the administration has changed tactics and gone on the offensive.

Story Continued Below

.

. Fresh off national security adviser Susan Rice telling Charlie Rose Tuesday that the partisanship of the speech is “is destructive of the fabric of the relationship,” another administration official chimed in.

Fights with Netanyahu have usually ended poorly for the administration, and for President Barack Obama himself, who has been portrayed as not being committed to Israel, dismissive of the prime minister, not a friend of American Jews. This showdown has developed differently, and this time it’s Netanyahu on the defensive. Anxious not to change that dynamic, the president and his aides have treaded carefully, ruling out a meeting with the prime minister, poking at him periodically, but noticeably not going hard after him directly.

You dare not stand against the Dear Leader!!

Except in this case, Obama is not facing a worthless republican, he's facing a determined Jew.

The Jews have faced the Egyptians, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Romans, the Muslims, and the Nazis. They were scattered across the globe for close to two thousand years and then reappeared, as if by magic, on the same plot of land as if nothing happened.

Many an emperor have long since turned to dust and the Jews still go about their business. They're not going to fear the "wrath of Obama"

“This showdown has developed differently, and this time it’s Netanyahu on the defensive.”

Who are they trying to convince, us or themselves? Personally I find that statement hard to believe.

Obama removed the bust of Churchill from the Oval office. The irony is a modern day breathing Churchill will come to his backyard and shatter his delusions and fantasies.

What are they so afraid of? Here’s hoping Netanyahu exposes the administration’s secret alliance with Iran.

I think they sense that people are beginning to compare Obama’s administration as ‘do nothing’ in the face of an imminent holocaust.

Obama is a dolt and a bully. He has the news media protecting him from his stupidity. He is no match for Netanyahu, nor for Putin. He surely realizes this. Although he seems to think he is God, so maybe he does not.

I hope he begins his speech with some pointed commentary about the dummy on the lap of Susan Rice. Reminds me of the old blond joke: Ventriloquist dummy looks to be spouting many dumb blond jokes. Blond stands up and yells toward the comedian: stop the stupid blond jokes. Comedian says, OK, I will go onto something else. She replies, I was not talking to you, I was talking to the guy on your lap.

There are no coincidences. This is taking place right before Purim. Haman built gallows for Mordechai. Haman convinced Achoshveros to kill all the Jews in the Persian empire. But the hidden player in the book of Esther had different plans. The King of the Universe, the One Who will never forsake Israel extended His scepter... Haman was hanged along with his sons. The decree to destroy was reversed by a decree to defend.

What foolish men who can read the book of Esther and think they can outsmart the Creator. Like Haman and Amalek, may their names be blotted out forever! Hoisted on their own petard...

Blessed is Mordechai, blessed is Netanyahu.

Maybe they will arrest him when he gets here as a war criminal or something.

The America haters really don’t want Bibi to warn us about Iran because they are in bed with Iran.

Funny joke.

Boner inviting Bibi is the only thing he’s ever done that I can praise him for. But I’m not sure the speech is going to be that spectacular. I don’t think Boner believes Bibi is going to say any thing different from what he’s been saying all along.

I’ve never seen so many anti semites as I’ve seen on Yahoo. They hate Israel.

Apparently the CBC is planning to create a scene by walking out on Bibi. If they do it will be a racist gesture of the highest order.

Susan Rice is a pro liar, they send her out every time they need someone that has no problem lying.

Is there no lie Susan Rice feels is too big a lie for her to tell?

I liked that joke. Joke was a bit on me though as I meant to say Valarie Jarrett, not Rice, as the person whose lap the loser is sitting on.

AP keeps right on propagandizing. Note this picture, and how it is intended to make it look like Bibi is wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood:

The flag is very distracting and would not be included if this was not a propaganda photograph. This is deliberate.

Wow, we are in serious trouble as a nation and a world. We are in about 1938 Germany status.

There is a spiritual significance for this meeting between Netanyahu and the House of Representatives. Congress represents the American people. Their response will determine if this nation is for Israel or against her.

Pray for an outpouring of support from our legislators.

GENESIS 12:3 - (God’s Promise regarding Israel)

“I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
