Insider says regime sent a message' to black Dem lawmakers that they should skip Netanyahu speech
2015-03-04
[Daily Mail] Two prominent black Democrats in the House of Representatives are vowing to skip Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress next month, a move that a White House insider says was put in motion by the Obama administration.

John Lewis of Georgia and G.K. Butterfield of North Carolina both said Friday that they disapproved when House Speaker John Boehner invited the Israeli leader to address a joint session of Congress on March 3 without consulting President Barack Obama first.

That disapproval apparently was orchestrated, or at least strongly encouraged, by the White House through comamunications with lawmakers connected to the Congressional Black Caucus.

'I'm not saying the president called anyone personally,' a current White House staffer told Daily Mail Online.

'But yeah, the White House sent a message to some at the CBC that they should suddenly be very upset about the speech.'
Appears most dutifully complied with the White House guidance. I've not seen a single black face in video pans of the attendees.
Mia Love committed to be there. But she's a Republican and Mormon, each of which makes her functionally Caucasian to the skin merchants.

#8  Not a lot different from the Mooslems imho.

You've got those pressing for the boodle, some quietly going-along-getting-along for some of the boodle, and a very few arguing that the boodle is bad for you.

And "rights" are only important if it is your ox being gored.

#7  They skip Netnayahu's speech but they wouldn't skip a speech by the leader of a regime (Soudan's) that is still trading Blacks slaves.....

Or travel to Zim or Cuba to meet with communists on the taxpayer dime. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe we all know what we're dealing with here.

#6  They skip Netnayahu's speech but they wouldn't skip a speech by the leader of a regime (Soudan's) that is still trading Blacks slaves. And let's remember that Gulf woman parlaimentray who advocated the capture of sex salves "so men wouldn't be tempeted to perpetrate adultery". And who would be the slaves? Guess who. Well those house N..rs wouldn'(t skip a speech frim her or the head of Soudan's regime.
