White House: Netanyahu Visit a ‘Departure from Protocol’ (well done, Mr. Speaker!!)

“Departure from Protocol”? Maybe not. The Prime Minister of Israel is the Head of Government and not the Head of State.

Cotton 1706, I wouldn’t put anything past our very thin skinned pretend president......As we have all learned, it’s all about him. I can’t wait for the day when we won’t have to see Obama on the TV day in and day out.

[ex-snook]

Hope he is coming to say that Israel will go it alone. If he is coming to get us into war, I hope the audience hasn’t received enough campaign funds to make that happen. Another war is existential for us. China and Russia are waiting in the wings and we have to borrow from China for expenses. It has taken us some 10 years to fight a bunch of enemies who depend on improvising weapons and suicide vests. They ain’t Russia or China. Say it ain’t so Bibi.

Hopefully this is only the beginning in undermining the usurper-in-chief.

[Zathras]

Perhaps he is finally learning what is really going on in America.
Call it a dream....

[Doghunter]

He should have invited him to the State of the Union also!

Imagine what a distraction that would have been.

[outofsalt]

Early elections for the twentieth Knesset will be held in Israel on 17 March 2015. Obama has been trying to undermine Bibi and Likud. I love this!

[hinckley buzzard]

Where does it say that the President has to vet the remarks to Congress and visits of a foreign dignitary?

Nowhere, especially when regime flunkies have smeared the foreign dignitary with unwarranted insults. Obama is getting a small object lesson in separation of powers, and Boehner gets credit for doing something right.

Someone should have asked Josh the Liar for Emperor Nero
what protocol it was that Nero talked Prime Minister David Cameron into Lobbying Senate Members to halt any Sanction Legislation against Iran just a week or two ago.

[Artcore]

Excellent. But don’t bet the ranch that John Boy has mended his ways. He just wanted to shove something large up BO’s rear and Bibi drew the short straw!

“We’ll need to hear from them about what their plans are and what he plans to say in his remarks to Congress before we have a decision to make about any meeting,”

Wow, just wow. Political speech is one thing but public international political speech is something totally different.

I can not believe this is what was said out in the open.

[onyx]

Oh yeah!

It was so important to force the Israeli PM to use the refuse entrance. If it necessary to demonstrate in front of the White House let's leave bags of garbage at the gate. Obola could use the reminder.

[EinNYC]

Excellent! How absolutely chutzpahdik, Odungo citing a "departure from protocol" when he wrote the book on that very issue. Since when has Odungo followed protocol? Or the Constitution? Or any law he felt like breaking? Let Bibi come and show Odungo how a real man conducts himself.

[Ready4Freddy]

Bibi as PM is Head of Government in Israel, thus considered the ‘leader’. Rivlin as President is merely Head of State, ceremonial figurehead.

[Ready4Freddy]

The position of POTUS is both Head of State and Head of Government, so, for better of worse, leader of the US.

Obama was probably in on the multinational terrorist plan to start a new war with Israel, during which he'd use his usual overreach to deny aid while being unavailable for comment due to golf (or due to summit meetings with his fellow western hemisphere despots, or both). The Israelis used a grenade and a funnel on that plan, and now Speaker Boehner has humiliated Zero, Plus, Lurch, Jarrett and the rest with this invitation. *This* was the correct Republican response to the SOTU.
