Maybe Obama will have to find another way to get a nuke to Iran.

“Netanyahu Delivered Just What Obama Feared”

A clear and concise laying out of the facts, that couldn’t be shouted down as “RACIST!!!” by the sycophants, even though they sure as hell tried.

He preempted Obama and Kerry but that still won’t stop them.

Obama has shown how much he cares for the opinions of others — obamacare, amnesty, gay marriage, race relations, etc.

That is the size of you. There is no doubt that Netanyahu actually care about Israel and it’s people. As opposed to Obama, who seems only to care about interest groups—especially those who want to tear down America.

Democrats upset someone had the balls to speak plainly about the bad deal making with enemies (is there an echo in here) and they can’t denounce it as anti-obama gop.

Does everyone love us yet?

Bonehead allowed someone into the House to do what he is not capable of.

Netanyahu for Speaker.

It has been so long since we have even seen the well water we don’t have any idea any more what it is worth. Today, we may have had a glimpse.

If I were running the show I would invite King Abdulla from Jordan and Al Sisi from Egypt to give a joint speech about ISIS.
