Criticism in the Democratic Party over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned Congress address is refusing to die down. Despite marathon phone calls between Netanyahu and senior Democrats in an effort to convince them to tone down their objections to the speech, the underlying message relayed by the Democratic representatives in the House and the Senate is that Netanyahu ought to cancel it.
The most direct statement yet was issued by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Friday, who did not rule out the possibility that many Democratic lawmakers would boycott Netanyahu's speech on March 3.
Asked if most House Democrats would attend a Netanyahu speech to Congress, Pelosi said, “I don’t know."
Pelosi laid into Netanyahu, noting that if he wants to discuss his concerns over the Iran's nuclear program he has many other opportunities to do so, and he does not have to do it in a joint session of the two houses of Congress.
“The opportunities are great,” Pelosi said, and noted that the Israeli leader often appears on Sunday talk shows in the U.S.
The senior House Democrat and former House speaker clarified that Netanyahu's planned speech is a controversial subject not only in the U.S., but also in Israel.
“With all the respect in the world for the prime minister, and all the love in the world for the state of Israel, I don’t know that even everyone in Israel is supportive of the invitation,” she told journalists at a Democratic retreat in Philadelphia.

Pelosi can throw hissy fits, but there ain’t nothing they can do about it.
We won.
nance, you need to listen to it to hear whats in it.
Hey Nancy, you lost we won, get over it! It never fails to amuse me how the democrats cry when they are out of power and it never fails to sadden me how the RINOS surrender when they are in power.
She wants him on TV instead of before congress because she’s afraid he might say something the democrats will be forced to applaud.
This slut and\ traitor should sit in the slammer right now for high crime and treason by falsifying 1 + 49 false affidavits to our States!!!
Go on T.V.....?
Great idea Nancy...
He would get higher ratings than our golf emperor and Americans can see what real leadership looks like...
plus, they actually hear some straight talk about the M.
East...
The only reason this one should open her mouth is to catch flies.
Pelosi not only can gth, she is going there. For all the damage she did to America Doctori g the certification of eligibility for obama. Cramming obsma are down out throats without even letting out representatives see or read the bill. Her awful pro- abortion campaigning. And now embarrassjng the USA by this lying bs (Even the nyt has withdrawn its initially fAlse report ann acknowledges Thst Bibi only accepted speaker boener’s invitation after boehner notified the WH. ). This bitch flew to Syria to see mass- murdering dictator Assad but now objects to a good ally visiting us? Gth pelosi. Go straight to Hell.
Sorry Nancy, but Americans will never forget nor forgive your role in hiding the heinous nature of Obamacare from the public “Have to pass it to find out what’s in it.”
Pelosi can go to hell.
Dear Nancy, the congress invited a good ally ( and very good speaker) to visit and give a talk. Why don’t you suppress your pro- islamoNazi BS for awhile? Your shooting off your mouth is very embarrassing for our country — and if you care - it’s also making you look like a complete Ass.
Pelosi can boycott. Or maybe she can go visit the butcher Assad again. Hypocrite.
The way all the Dems are squealing, Boehner has scored quite a hit. I give him credit for this if little else.
If these idiots had kept their mouths shut about this no one would have paid much attention to what he has to say. The more they oppose his making a speech the more I want to hear it in its entirety.
Pure Barbara Streisand. They'll all be there.
Thank god for the northwesterly breezes. kept the stink from both my office and house while they were festering at dock street. I suggest making bibi a permanent member of congress. make the dims eat crow every day they are in session.
Nancy is a Cold War relic. She voted for the Soviet Union, and for radical Islam. Today the tide has turned. Time for her to be put out to pasture to die
Obama was informed. The NYT tagged a 'correction' dated January 30th onto the bottom of this article;
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.
Suddenly, a cow jumps out into the road, they hit it full on, and the car comes to a stop.
Nancy, in her usual charming manner, says to the chauffeur, “You get out and check, you were driving.”
So the chauffeur gets out, checks, and reports that the animal is dead, but it was old.
“You were driving, so you go and tell the farmer,” says Nancy.
Two hours later the chauffeur returns totally plastered, hair ruffled with a big grin on his face.
“My God, what happened to you?” asks Nancy.
The chauffeur replies, “When I got there, the farmer opened his best bottle of malt whisky, the wife served me a wonderful meal and the daughter gave me the best sex I have ever had.”
“What on earth did you say?” asks Nancy.
“I just knocked on the door and when it opened I said to them, “I’m Nancy Pelosi’s chauffeur, and I’ve just killed the old cow.”
