White House going nuclear on Netanyahu
NY Post ^ | January 24, 2015 | 11:07pm | Michael Goodwin

Thou shall not cross Dear Leader.

With their gutter sniping failing to stop Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned March speech before Congress, White House aides are unloading their full arsenal of bile.

“He spat in our face publicly, and that’s no way to behave,” one Obama aide told an Israeli newspaper. “Netanyahu ought to remember that President Obama has a year and a half left to his presidency, and that there will be a price.”

It is pointless to say petty threats do not become the Oval Office. Trying to instruct this White House on manners recalls what Mark Twain said about trying to teach a pig to sing: It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Still, the fury is telling. It reminds, as if we could forget, that everything is always about Obama.

How dare Israel be more concerned with the existential threat of Iranian nukes than with Obama’s feelings? And what do members of Congress think they are, a separate branch of government or something?

Yes, the presidency deserves respect, even when the president doesn’t. Although Obama routinely ignores lawmakers and their role in our constitutional system of checks and balances, there is an argument afoot that Congress should have taken the high road and consulted him before inviting Netanyahu.

The argument has a point — but not a compelling one. To give Obama veto power over the visit would be to put protocol and his pride before the most important issue in the world.

That is Iran’s march to nuclear weapons, and Obama’s foolish complicity. His claim at the State of the Union that “we’ve halted the progress of its nuclear program and reduced its stockpile of nuclear material” would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous.

oooooo...."one Obama aide....."

It was in quotes - which aide was it? My comment to the "aide" is "who the hell is WE asshat?" Your entire administration is filled with hacks who couldn't flip a burger at McDonalds, much less run a country.

Netanyahu is much smarter than Obams. I feel confident that he’s thought this through and has a way to counter the stupidity that is the WH.

Only one goal drives the progressive strategy on the mideast.

Samantha Power calls for the invasion of Israel

They're trying to destroy the remaining stability in the mideast to goad Israel into a major war so it can be used as an excuse to occupy Isreal.

Hey Barack!

Making Bibi wait while you had dinner with your family was “spitting in his face”.

Making Bibi exit the White House from the back door was “spitting in his face”.

Barack, YOU have EARNED a more severe response than a spit in your face.

Isn't that pathetic....Obama has been spitting in the Prime Ministers face ever since he took office...let alone spitting in America's face as well telling all again and again "I won!"

POTUS de facto Jarrett has mud on her face as well.

Obama and Kerry are pseudo sophisticated narcissists who cling to their delusions regarding Islam and are determined to sign a “historic agreement” with lunatic mullahs that will result in them obtaining nuclear weapons. Netanyahu does not have the luxury of entertaining fools or fantasy. He is the secular leader and defender of the Jewish people. His prime responsibility is to protect Israel and its population in a changing and hostile world.

No s*it, Sherlock.

Valerie Jarrett was born in Shiraz, Iran.

Is it that difficult to connect-the-dots?

Don’t mess with Emperor Bokassa. His Highness don’t know about separation of powers and whatnot. It’s no surprise the Kenyan got a court order to hemetically seal every single academic record of his, including that at Harvard Law.

Netanyahu could easily turn Obama into a laughingstock in Israel by referring to him as a “nekulturny” (an “uncultured one” in Russian.)

But the direct translation doesn’t do nekulturny justice, because its implied meaning is far more. Unmannered and rude, impolite, lower class and clownish, ignorant and stupid. Jerry Lewis and Jim Carrey at their most obnoxious. A scatological buffoon.

Russian Jews in Israel would first be shocked and in awe at the use of such brutal disrespect, but would then realize that it was an inside joke directed at Obama for their benefit.

Russians have some really brutal curses and expressions, but nekulturny is almost in a class by itself.

I guess the pro-Shiite stance of the 0bama admin stems from Valerie Jarrett. There must be a LOT of money involved for the presidential team.

The high road does not work with this brazen SOB. That is exactly opportunity that he wants.

I think it should be clear to the doubters now how O-Turdhead keeps his power intact.

““He spat in our face publicly, and that’s no way to behave,” one Obama aide told an Israeli newspaper. “Netanyahu ought to remember that President Obama has a year and a half left to his presidency, and that there will be a price.””

Sadly enough, when I read this in the excerpt and looked up to see if this was satire in “The Onion” or the like, I discovered it was really said.

I want Obama and his flunkies to continue raising hell about this. It will only serve to draw much more media attention to Netanyahu's remarks before congress. He will make a very compelling argument regarding the need to stop Iran's nuclear ambitions, one which will be very difficult for the left to refute (but of course they'll give it their best shot.)
