A group of Democrats in the House of Representatives are circulating a petition asking Republican Speaker John Boehner to postpone the March 3 speech by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to a joint meeting of Congress, Bloomberg reported on Monday.

“As members of Congress who support Israel, we share concern that it appears that you are using a foreign leader as a political tool against the president,” states the letter, which is being circulated among lawmakers by Representatives Keith Ellison, Steve Cohen and Maxine Waters.

Whatever deal Obam is attempting to pull is “bad” since everything Internationally he touches gets burned and destroyed...and people die by the hundreds.

Our guys need to hear what BIBI has to say....


That’s why the sniveling, lyin’ libs don’t want Bibi to speak the truth, to Congress and to America.

NOTE TO DEMOCRAT'S...

YOU LOST....WE WON....NOW GROW A SET AND SHUT THE HE!! UP...

But you guys go ahead and boycott, it will be your loss..
When Democrats were in control they NEVER worked with the other side, let them eat cake for the next two years..

I'm totally sick of them all...for allowing Barry Hussein Obama destroy a once great Nation.

Yep....

Very disturbing when Kerry and Biden meet with BIBI’s opponent yet they proclaim administration officials here will not meet with BIBI because of elections

A group of democrats, that’s rich, did they start their petition with “Hey remember when we were in the majority and pissed all over you, well we’d like a favor”.

Oh Oh, Dems throwing a pity party because BiBi wants to come here and speak the TRUTH about what is happening..but these liberal douche bags don’t want to hear the truth, they would rather just go “La La La Im not listening” meanwhile, Iran is laughing at us, LAUGHING AT US because they probably already have the nuke ready to go, with America’s approval

I’d read that. Meddling creeps. Lowest of low.

Just when you think this *administration* cannot get any lower/worse.....they do.

Funny, I don’t remember Democrats petitioning that Nancy Pelosi NOT go to Syria to bad mouth George Bush’s Syria policy while on Syrian land! That’s a heck of a lot more serious than anything that’s even been alleged here!

I pray the pubbies hang tough.

give in on this - they’ll demand you give in on everything - oh wait. That wouldn’t be anything new, would it?

ONTH, if you hang tough, tens of thousands more will be tuning in....couldn’t PAY for that much publicity

As Redd Fox said to Esther, “Maxine, why don’t you press yo’ face into some cookie dough an’ make some chocolate chip gorilla cookies.”

“Friends of Israel” indeed.
