The invitation House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) issued to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress has the Obama Administration in a state of apoplexy.
"The Speaker did not have President Obama's permission to issue such an invitation," complained Press Secretary Josh Earnest. "Prime Minister Netanyahu did not have the President's permission to accept the invitation. It's a major breach of protocol that undermines Executive Supremacy."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) characterized Boehner's move as "a critical blunder. I wouldn't be surprised if the President were to use this as an excuse to disband Congress."
Confidential sources inside the White House report the President's anger as "unconstrained. There no telling what he might do to levy an appropriate punishment for this disobedience. When subordinates spit in the President's face, as Boehner and Netanyahu have done, it calls for harsh retaliatory measures. He can't just let it go." Ideas said to be under consideration include assisting Hamas in reprisals against Israeli civilians, tacitly acquiescing in Iran's efforts to wipe Israel off the map, and strategically leaking embarrassing information contained in Boehner's FBI files.
Secretary of State John Kerry professed to be confused by the unfolding events. "The Israeli Prime Minister already met with President Obama last October, I don't see the point of his proposed speech to Congress," Kerry said. "There is nothing that Congress could do for him that the President wouldn't veto. Netanyahu is foolishly betting on the wrong horse. In the process he has angered the world's most powerful man. This cannot turn out well for him or his people. The only hope for the voters of Israel is to elect someone more in tune with President Obama's wishes. Their country's very survival is at stake."
In related news, Kerry continued his campaign to clarify Islamic doctrine by insisting that those committing atrocities in the name of Allah are not Islamic. "We reject the notion that violence aimed at reigniting the holy war of Islam against unbelievers is a genuine form of the religion," Kerry maintained. "Making war for religious reasons is not a 21st century way of thinking. It has no credibility in our modern society."
Kerry contended that "it would be more accurate to characterize these barbarians as 'Islamish' rather than Islamic. Mere mimicry of the actions taken by Muslims 1400 years ago cannot be the behavior of a truly civilized person. It simply cannot succeed."

So what's new there? (j/k)

Where the hell did the news stop and the satire begin? I got all the way to the end again without finding the satire.
(Hurray!)
Obama has become totally unhinged. Truly unbecoming of the White House to use phrases like “spit in his face”. What do they say about the leaders of Syria and Iran and North Korea? And I think that is kind of the point. Netanyahu has little reason to bend any more than Obama asks others to bend. Obama caves to everyone, all the time. “most powerful man in the world” LOL. He got set off the rails by an invitation! Bad form.
Good work John. But in all seriousness this episode is probably signals the end of Obama’s influence. He is still very powerful obviously, but dangerous if he feels he needs to lash out or deliver “harsh retaliatory measures” not just to Netanyahu but anyone who shows him as impotent, obsolete or uninfluential.
Oh damn, Reggie’s in for it tonight!!!!
Frankly, he scares me. There is just an evil atmosphere about him. How could anyone vote for him twice?

Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe.

So... Where’s the satire?
An instant end to "Islamic" terrorism! From here on out, that sort of terrorism is just Islamish.
It beats eliminating workplaces to minimize workplace violence.
Not so sure it’s even semi-satire any more. Just breaks my heart, but you can at least make me laugh.
There you go again, John, giving them ideas.
(Another fine column, btw.)

For the third time, please remove me from the Satire or Semi Satire list....thank you.
