Obama’s ugly tantrum could be dangerous to Israel (NY Daily News)
New York Daily News ^ | January 25, 2015 | Editorial Board

President Obama’s refusal to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu when the Israeli prime minister comes to Washington in March to address a joint meeting of Congress is a petulant, juvenile snub — one that couldn’t be more badly timed.

The Israeli leader “spat in our face,” an unnamed senior U.S. official told Israeli newspaper Haaretz, “and there will be a price.” An unnamed source “close to Kerry” told the Washington Post the House speech “could blunt Secretary Kerry’s enthusiasm for being Israel’s primary defender.”

That’s gangster talk, aimed at one of America’s closest allies — all because the Israeli leader dared to accept House Speaker John Boehner’s to address Congress on the emerging Iranian nuclear threat without consulting them first.

Too bad. Boehner leads the House. He can invite who he wants. Netanyahu leads his country. He can speak where he likes.

In fact, it’s completely understandable that the prime minister would accept the speaker’s invitation — because the President, who should be happily receiving him, has made a hash of the Washington-Jerusalem relationship.

More important than bruised feelings is what Netanyahu has to say about the danger Iran poses to the Jewish state and to the world, a danger Obama seems determined to let metastasize. . .

And what might Netanyahu have to say about Obama? He knows Obama’s entire personal history.

If Iran develops a nuclear bomb as a result of US concessions, President Obama may be solely responsible for killing more Jews than Hitler.

If Iran develops a nuclear bomb as a result of US concessions, President Obama may be solely responsible for killing more Jews "Infidels" than Hitler (killed Jews).

P.J. O’Rourke must have had someone exactly like Obama in mind when he made this observation:

“At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all spoiled children are,
unsatisfied, demanding, ill disciplined, despotic, and useless.
Liberalism is the philosophy of sniveling brats.”

Thanks for the ray of hope. OF COURSE Bibi knows the truth about Obama. He should not be afraid to tell it NOW….not that he's afraid, but picking his moment.

Obola is probably too afraid of him to show up at his talk in Congress or anywhere else in his vicinity.

Interesting to see how this plays out.

The press won't expose the facts but the WH is all Amish except for a few
White bread talking TV puppets.
So gangsta talk and trash talking is the South Chicago way and the WH way.
You think White hater VJ would allow anything else around her.

My relative has done communication work there.

PJ has a point about liberals being spoiled children. In my experience, which has been relatively vast, it’s just the opposite.

Liberals I have known are crybabies who NEVER HAD ENOUGH attention, love, cookies, bikes, birthday presents, etc. Therefore, they want to be Good Guys who make sure everyone has enough STUFF. LIBTARD fellow I knew, 60 yrs old, is STILL CRYING about not being breast fed. I told him to get over it. He was shocked at my callousness. LOL.

So, whether spoiled children or neglected children, it seems that liberals are immature CHILDREN.

A tantrum from the group that called the Israeli Prime Minister a “Chicken Shit” and “Coward” back in October. Funny, no mention of that in todays media contortions.

From the article,

President Obama’s refusal to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu when the Israeli prime minister comes to Washington in March to address a joint meeting of Congress is a petulant, juvenile snub.

Exactly. Good choice of words.

The VJ WH staff are all rude ,ugly , and dismissive to him because he is a former military and not Amish and once wore his military dress to the WH due to a function.
He said the Bush staff were the exact opposite in every way.

He said the media all know this behavior is going on every day.
You can only imagine the damage this hateful crowd has done.

“could blunt Secretary Kerry’s enthusiasm for being Israel’s primary defender.”

I would assume that this statement was located in the comic/humor section of the paper.
