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

Modal Trigger

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...

Barack Hussein Obama is an affirmative action Hitler. This is not a Godwin either. While Obama needs a teleprompter to go to the bathroom; Hitler had a great memory and would not have needed such a device. While Hitler built the autobahn and it is still in use today; Obama...built Solyndra and that was a real boondoggle. Hitler murdered six million Jews directly; Obama wants to lead from behind in such an endeavor; e.g., having Iran murder ; the six million Jews of Israel.

Also, the Germans did not vote Hitler into office (even though he was wildly popular); however, America voted the affirmative action moron into office twice. America can be so proud /sarc

John Boehner invited Netanyahu to speak to Congress because he wanted to expose the fact that Iran has been building long-range missiles that could hit the U.S. — something Congress needs to know.

However, the brouhaha about Netanyahu’s invitation has also exposed something else — that Netanyahu has the power to drive Obama crazy, so full of rage is he about Israel’s prime minister.

It has also exposed the fact that Jewish-American Democrats like Dianne Feinstein also hate Israel to the extent that they have taken the side of Obama against Netanyahu.

Netanyahu’s speech will not take place for more than a month. What additional signs of madness and stark raving hatred for Israel will Obama and Jewish-American liberals exhibit during that time?

This PoS President doesn’t deserve any respect. The only thing he deserves is a boot up his a$$ and send him and his family out of this country. He is nothing more than a slimy pig that doesn’t deserve to be a citizen of this great Christian nation established to keep dictator want-to-bes out of here.

No-win situation for Jews.

Support Israel and be accused of disloyalty to America, support Obama and be accused of disloyalty to Jews in Israel.

In many cases, it’s the same people who will criticize either way.

No real American would confuse supporting Obama vs. supporting America.

Jews should support those trying to prevent them from being wiped off the planet. That doesn’t include the current person sitting in the White House.

I’m shocked at all the Israel-bashing in the press from the political left. They do remember what Hitler did to them? That’s nothing compared to what ISIS has in store.

Supporting Obama is essentially racial holocaust suicide for American Jews.

Jews are mostly not convinced that Republicans are any less Jew-haters than Democrats, but they already have a seat at the Democrat table. Besides, Jews no more vote on the basis of foreign policy toward Israel than Americans of German descent vote on the basis of foreign policy toward Germany. We need more liberal Republicans? Really?

Insecure Jews will always see conservatism as a mere political expression of traditional Christianity, which hasn’t been particularly friendly to Jews.

Seems to me Congress can invite people to address - Congress.

“btw he's got 2 more years in office, not 18 months.”

He only has about 60 days left if you take away golf, vacations, and mealy mouthed petulance.

Yeah, he's going to lose respect for Israel and Netanyahu and even stop liking them.

Obama hates Israel and loves Muslims. Why? He is a Muslim.

Team Obama may as well hold a press conference to say, "Attack Israel Now, Because We Won't Have Her Back."

Which takes us closer to being able to fulfill prophecy.... specifically that Israel will be completely alone when the armies of the world line up to attack.

I think it is time to resolve the issue, to reach compromise, to cease the embarrassing bickering

Obama must resign and the problem will all go away

Bibi can’t drive obola crazy.

Obola has always been crazy.

He is reacting to narcissistic injury.

From 2010

“Obama told Netanyahu: Go Home, Don't Explain From Here”

“In the hubbub surrounding the “battle of the flotilla,” Netanyahu’s quick reversal of his decision to remain in the United States has been largely ignored. It turns out that Obama told him to leave because he didn’t want Netanyahu to use the White House as a stage on which to present Israel’s side of the story...”

These meltdown tantrums on B.O.’s administration side are getting a bit old.

See? Thorough RINO through and through, you are. You just don't care that McCain, Romney, and establishment Republicans embrace Amnesty. You are thrilled that Romney authored the forerunner of Obamacare and that establishment Republicans love Obamacare. You are delighted with a McCain or a Romney and a Republican establishment that keeps and increases an out of control Federal bureaucracy. You don't give a damn that the federal budget will collapse. If you did, you would be on our side and you would not be embracing RINOs.

But you are not. You are the enemy, as much as any Democrat.

You continue to prove my point.
