There will be a price’: Obama team reportedly fuming over Netanyahu visit
FoxNews.com ^ | January 23, 2015

Posted on 01/23/2015 5:02:55 PM PST by SJackson

The Obama administration reportedly is fuming over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plans to address Congress in March regarding the Iranian threat, with one unnamed official telling an Israeli newspaper he will pay “a price” for the snub.

House Speaker John Boehner invited Netanyahu -- and the Israeli leader accepted – without any involvement from the White House.

In public, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest politely describes this as a “departure” from protocol. He also says the president will not meet with Netanyahu when he visits in early March, but has attributed that decision only to a desire not to influence Israel’s upcoming elections.

But in private, Obama’s team is livid with the Israeli leader, according to Haaretz.

"We thought we've seen everything," a source identified as a senior American official was quoted as saying. "But Bibi managed to surprise even us. There are things you simply don't do.

“He spat in our face publicly and that's no way to behave. Netanyahu ought to remember that President Obama has a year and a half left to his presidency, and that there will be a price."

First of all John Boehner is the one that invited Bibi to Congress..what was Bibi supposed to do call Obama and ask him if it was OK..Obama really thinks he is a King..everyone has to kiss his feet and beg his permission..Oh and what is the worst thing Obama is going to do that he hasn’t already done to Israel..EVERYONE in Israel and I mean EVERYONE in Israel knows that Obama hates their guts

Interesting. Fox quotes the White House.

one unnamed official telling an Israeli newspaper he will pay “a price” for the snub.

Yet the link, Ha'aertz, says

Netanyahu spat in our face. There will be a price,' U.S. official says

Fox appears to have added the he, changing the meaning from Israel paying the price, likely, to Bibi paying the price. The White House, of course, will attempt to make both pay.

It's pathetic when someone who is supposed to be an adult throws a tantrum over respect. Real leaders don't need to worry; they know everyone who matters will respect them. We're stuck with Obama - the biggest baby in the playground.

Israel needs to balance the playing field so that Obama and his coterie know that there will be a price to be paid by Obama’s inner circle for favoring the Islamists, as well.

Benjamin Netanyahu buried his brother who was shot to death leading a rescue of hostages from Islamic terrorists like those ones you keep releasing, Mr. President, so his idea of a price and yours are a probably little bit different.

Unbelievable. Yes, there are some things you simply do not do: like make threats to those who live in the home of Mossad.

I remember when I was a kid, my grandfather telling me that when our country turned our back on Israel, it would be a sign of the “end times”, and the downfall of our nation.

This was during the 80s, and I thought he was crazy, because I couldn’t imagine our country being at odds with Israel. Such a thing was unthinkable, yet here we are....

Now what?

Meanwhile in my dreams...I have a ringside seat to watch Bibi beat the living crap out of that scrawny punk...just wipe the floor with him. I have no doubt Netanyahu would be capable of it, even at his present age.

How many times are you going to put this FALSE information out here.

The HOUSE is not required to ask permission from the WH if they want to invite a person to speak before a joint session of Congress.

Because people don’t understand the Constitution, they don’t realize that the WH, the Congress, the Court - ARE ALL EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVT. That means - Congress can have anyone they want as a guest speaker.

Obama is NOT KING .. and he cannot tell Congress who they can have as a guest speaker.

WHEN ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING TO STOP PUTTING THIS JUVENILE GARBAGE OUT ON THE INTERNET ..??????????????

So Obama is upset. Oh well ..!!!! His actions and statements, and those of his “staff”, are of no consequence. They sound like children who are mad because they didn’t get their way.
