White House: Boehner Invite to Netanyahu Breach of Protocol
Associated Press ^ | January 21, 2015

Posted on 01/21/2015 9:21:52 AM PST by reaganaut1

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE — The White House says House Speaker John Boehner's invitation for Israel's prime minister to come to Washington is a breach of normal diplomatic protocol.

President Barack Obama's press secretary, Josh Earnest, says the White House has not heard from Israelis about whether Benjamin Netanyahu plans to speak to Congress Feb. 11. Earnest says they are reserving judgment about the invitation until they've had a chance to speak to the Israelis about what Netanyahu might say.

What, did Bammy learn a new word? Of all of the people in all of the world to complain about a breach of diplomatic protocol this guy takes the cake. Let's see...isn't it sort of breaching diplomatic protocol to smuggle machine guns into your neighbor's criminal cartels? How about sending Ambassadors to smuggle weapons and letting them get killed rather than risk helping them? What about openly supporting revolutions against the sitting governments of Libya, Egypt, and Syria? Killing other country's citizens with drones?

And speaking of domestic protocols, isn't it just a little naughty to set the NSA and the IRS on your political opposition? Your political friends? Everybody in the country? Isn't the Fourth Amendment that 0bama is ignoring a form of protocol? The Fifth? The Second? The First?

This is a lawless, disrespectful, irresponsible, and incompetent gaggle of bullies, cheap celebrities, and two-bit propagandists that calls itself an administration, and any complaints it has about other people breaching protocol are pure hypocrisy. I'd be angrier if it weren't so funny.

Awww, cry it out, there, Bambi.

Congress is a co-equal branch of government, and it has every right to conduct its affairs the way it sees fit.

Consider it an "Executive Order" for the Legislature, man-child....

Did anyone hear the word CONSTITUTION uttered or nearly mentioned by left or right or from BHO himself during the SOTU or any pundits later including Fox?

No. But I hear he mentioned Sodomite fake 'marriage'. The man's got his priorities and they have NOTHING to do with the Constitution of the United States.

Zer0 only likes breaches when they are also illegal.

Obama, your failure to enforce immigration laws is a breach of the Constitution, so shut up about "breaches of protocol".

Great post - great reply... Thanks reaganaut...

I was wondering how long it would take before Jarrett and Bammy would whine about this.

I expect Congress to carve out from the WH a larger foreign policy role, and interact directly with Foreign Leaders.

0bama can stick to golf and not enforcing the Laws

If I am wrong, I apologize, but I believe Netanyahu holds dual citizenship. If true, then th e Speaker.can.invite him to speak without any deference to.the White House.

This has nothing to do with immigration, which doesn’t relate to protocol anyway. It’s all about a Muslim hating Israel, and Obama should be called on this.

Didn’t O just invite an(other) illegal alien to Congress to applaud at O’s speech? What’s the “protocol” of that? And while we’re on it, what’s the “protocol” of an illegal alien residing in our WH?

My only consolation in situations like this is believing in the justice of the wrath of God, which is coming soon and is a double dose. The knucklehead administration didn’t learn a thing about it listening to Rev Wright for 20 years.

I say the SCOTUS and Congress should start balancing out the powers today (6 years ago?).
