Democrats in Congress suggest postponing Netanyahu's address
2015-02-01
[JPOST] Representatives are suggesting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu postpone his speech to a joint session of Congress until after the Israeli election on March 17.
Not a bad thought: Bibi has milked this for all he's worth at home, and now he can look generous. Of course when he does speak he still snubs Champ as hard as he can. Put in those terms and SanFranNan will want him to speak yesterday...
House Minority Leader Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
(D-Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,) said it was "not appropriate" for Speaker John It is not pronounced 'Boner!' Boehner
... the occasionally weepy leader of House Republicans...
(R-Ohio) to invite Netanyahu without first notifying the White House ‐ a move that angered the B.O. regime.
Our petulant president doesn't yet understand that the world doesn't in fact revolve around him...
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.

#10  HT Gateway Pundit - Pack of lies by the Chickenshit Administration:

Story that Boehner blindsided Obama on Netanyahu invitation was manufactured agitprop

NYT tries to promote anti-Netanyahu talking point that #Israel blindsided Obama. They got just 1 tiny detail wrong.

NYTimes:

Correction: January 30, 2015

An earlier version of this article misstated when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel accepted Speaker John A. Boehner’s invitation to address Congress. He accepted after the administration had been informed of the invitation, not before.

#9  Just 7 years ago we were working with Isreal to hunt and kill terrorist; today we spend resources to undermine an election of the only democracy in the Middle East.

#8  the Obama regime has only recently sent a hit team to Tel Aviv to influence the upcoming Israeli elections and that they have not been in place long enough to do it.

I strongly suspect that recent accusations that Mrs. Netanyahu is a lush who embezzled the bottle return money is the work of the Obama team. Bibi has been in politics a long time, yet this is suddenly a story, as far as I'm aware.

#7  Representatives are suggesting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu postpone his speech to a joint session of Congress until after the Israeli election on March 17. This means that the Obama regime has only recently sent a hit team to Tel Aviv to influence the upcoming Israeli elections and that they have not been in place long enough to do it. Team Obama hit team in Israel.

#6  How about the non-socialist Jewish community postponing donations through 2016?

The large and powerful Republican Jewish block in Congress should champion this cause. Why will they not act ?

#2  Dorms from Broward and Dade won't walk out. I suspect a few NYC Reps. Might tarry as well.
