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.

If the traitorous, criminal enterprise that is our communist government truly DOES attempt to occupy or wage war against Israel, that should be the moment on which all patriots stand up and fire the "shot heard round the world 2" in defense of Netanyahu and the Israelis...

Either that or I will fly to Israel and personally fight against the invading force of Obamunist puppets...

That being said, I think the Almighty will probably take care of things if it comes to that...

Hussein Obama is showing the true anti-Semitic jerk that he is.

Good. He places himself in the way of the Almighty, like others in a long list of those that think they can ignore Genesis 12:3: Pharaoh, Balaam, Sichon, Og, Sennacherib, Haman, Hitler, Arafat, etc.

As sure as we know their end, we can see the end of this petulant child, unless he changes his ways soon.

He would do well to remember the words of the Creator of the Universe, “Touch not My anointed.”

Maybe that was his point, without actually saying it.

It’s a managed leak... my guess is it’s what the Administration is really feeling.

Invade Israel, is it? Been tried before. How’d it work for the Greeks, the Romans and the British? Will the US be invading us, or the...haha...hahaha...BWAHAHAHAHAHA!... (sorry)...UN?

That’s not quite how we do things. This whole ‘fight to the last man’ thing is very dramatic, but two really good books show a better way. I suggest Maccabees, by author unknown, and Revolt! by Menachem Begin.
