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.

I hope that Netanyahu unloads on King Obama. America must see how criminal a communists black Muslim has taken this Country so far away from the real threat from Iran.

Hey, identical fingerprints!

The Nekulturny Administration? Heh!

““He spat in our face publicly, and that’s no way to behave”

So they would have been fine if he only spat in their faces in private? I guess the “our” faces is something Jarret enunciated slowly and repeated several when bringing Obama up to speed.

Wish there were a way to let Mr. Netanyahu know that American patriots are on his side. Israel is an important ally,even if Mr. Obama thinks otherwise.

Freepers on the Sunday Show thread were talking about Jarrett being on Fox and Friends last Monday...!!!

I think Netenyahu will be speaking with a decent-sized Iranian scalp on his scabbard. 70% of Americans want Iran contained.

I don’t believe Israel can be occupied. They will fight to the last man.

If I could suggest .. maybe a private security detail for Mr. Netanyahu’s visit ..??

It’s personal with Obama/Israel. When you’ve been raised as a Muslim, you HATE ISRAEL. Funny, nobody seems to recognize that FACT.

“Unmannered and rude, impolite, lower class and clownish, ignorant and stupid. Jerry Lewis and Jim Carrey at their most obnoxious. A scatological buffoon.”

That definition has This Messiah written all over it!

Coverage of the event will be provided by Fox News and....and...Fox News.

Most low information voters will never hear word 1 about this.

The truism that As Goes America, Goes the World but in the Middle East another truism is also relevant. As Goes Israel, goes the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia is facing a dangerous threat from Iranian influences in the area and need to step up to help Israel with the quiet financing that 0 and his regime are threatening to take away.

Both Egypt and the Saudi’s both had better realize that usurping 0’s power of the purse over Israel results in their survival.

” 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!””

I still remember when Obama stomped out of a meeting and left Bibi in the room announcing he was going to eat dinner.

What a despicable POS Obama is!

“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.”

I love the quote. It fits most of what this regime in DC does, says and believes. They are not open to any dialogue with anyone. It’s “my way or the highway” on steroids.

...."one Obama aide....." It was in quotes - which aide was it?

I'm guessing Andrea Mitchell. No, wait. Brian Williams. Chuck Todd?

Coulda been a "composite" aide consisting of several Men Seeking Men media types.

Wow! That sounds like a threat to me. The "aide" was probably one of Obola's Muzzie cronies in Fatherland Security.
