Netanyahu is expected to criticize the White House’s negotiations on Iran's nuclear program in his March 3 speech. While Biden has cited a scheduling conflict, other Democrats are staying away from the speech to protest what they see as an attack on President Obama.

Sen. Patrick Leahy (Vt.) — Leahy called it a "tawdry and high-handed stunt," according to a Vermont newspaper.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) — Sanders, who caucuses with Democrats, said it’s “wrong” that Obama wasn’t consulted about the speech.
Sen. Brian Schatz (Hawaii) — “The U.S.-Israel relationship is too important to be overshadowed by partisan politics," said Schatz in a statement. "I am disappointed in the Republican leadership’s invitation of Prime Minister Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress with the apparent purpose of undermining President Obama’s foreign policy prerogatives.”

Of course, all the Jews in the USA will just be so totally upset by this that probably one or two Jews will refuse to vote for the dimocrat running for dog catcher in their town.
Wow, What a list of Rats. The best thing they can do is just stay away.
They sure are making it easier to identify the true enemies of the country. They just come right out and announce it now. In the past they would have hidden it better.
Don’t their constituents care?
Is obama gonna let them jump on Lincolns bed if they don’t go?
The usual riff raff.
That’s just fine. We can write nineteen contribution checks to the opponents of these Ahole racist bigots. It’s good obama is so scared of one simple honest speech about his sellout of the United States to his islamoNazi conrades in arms. Who knows, just maybe the American people may wake up in time ??? Just maybe. Maybe. Pray for America.
Yes you are exactly right. The real enemies of America, the Church and Jdeish people, and our liberty — arecl outing themselves — finally standing right out in the light where we can see, get a good look at them. They’re embded with their “man” in our WH
“Don’t their constituents care?”
Their constituents are worthless morons, how do you think
they got elected? The same goes for the absolute idiots
who keep reelecting John McCain. Fools.
I do. Jim McDermott can go to Hell.
(Samuel L Jackson was DiCaprio's plantation 'Black Slaver' in the movie Django, who put runaways in the hot box.)
This is good for Netanyahu.
Three out of four Israeli’s don’t care for Obama and will take his party’s absence from the speech as a sign Bibi stands with them and does not bow before Obama.
I thought that Bibi backed out.
Patriots; each and every one. Jeeze.
And then Schatz (a future tense of "sh*t") proceeds to boycott it specifically in order to support partisan Democrat politics.
Hey, it's just words, peasants. Here's a pile of words, go sort them out. Now shut up and vote for me, you stupid flyover riffraff.
Not a chance.
