Unwelcome Mat: White House Tries to Counter Netanyahu Visit
ABC News / The Associated Press ^ | February 20, 2015 | Matthew Lee and Julie Pace

In what is becoming an increasingly nasty grudge match, the White House is mulling ways to undercut Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's upcoming trip to Washington and blunt his message that a potential nuclear deal with Iran is bad for Israel and the world.

There are limits. Administration officials have discarded the idea of President Barack Obama himself giving an Iran-related address to rebut the two speeches Netanyahu is to deliver during his early March visit. But other options remain on the table.

Among them: a presidential interview with a prominent journalist known for coverage of the rift between Obama and Netanyahu....

Law of Holes... (obviously Obama never learned)

if you’ve dug yourself into a deep, deep hole, STOP YOUR STUPID D***ED DIGGING before trying anything else

(what an absolute embarrassment this guy’s been for the least six years!)

Few things demonstrate how truly evil the occupant of the White House is than this. Netanyahu is coming here to speak truth to Zero’s evil.

Jews voted 78% twice for this Antisemitic A-hole. He hates Jews so much he wants Iran who announced its intentions to Nuke Israel all the time they need to produce as many warheads to do the job.

Message, if your a Jewish Democrat voting for your peoples enemies is preferable than voting for a moderate Republican.

If I, a private citizen lived in the Washington area, near Pennsylvania Ave. I would go out there are greet Netanyahu, and welcome him back to America. I hope there are public welcomers, even a small group of sincere people.

Israel not only has nuclear weapons (the kind Iran has or is about to acquire) but also thermonuclear (”H-Bombs”) like the US and a handful of other major powers possess. I think that Bibi is trying one last time to stop this before Israel is forced to annihilate Iran.

Yes agreed about a lot of Jewish people made big super- sized booboo voting for him. ( But then again, so did millions of other voters too.). The one thing the media’s conveniently slowed down reminding us about is that usa is iran’s number one target as their socalled Great Satan. Another very dangerous ( to usa) aspect right now is — iran knows if they try to attack their desired additional targets in that region ( the Arabian oil fields in particular and Jerusalem etc ) that Iran will get itself destroyed in a matter of hours, the people over there won’t stand to be attacked -— . But if Iran attacks it’s Great Satan while their friend Obama is in our White House, theyll probably get away with it. The absence of any visible willingness or desire to defend America - plus the fact he’s been defending and financing the iranian nuclear ICBM factories — and his daily praises for Islam — you figure it out. It’s pretty clear that no reasonable assessment of current conditions would predict a significant American response, more or less any real conter- attack, if Iran strikes usa now. However nuanced, this leaves America in q very dangerous, highly vulnerable situation for at least the next 2 years ( if Iran gets its nukes finished in this timeframe). We will see. Pray for America

never forget, Obama actually said this about Iran- “according to their Supreme Leader, it would be contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon.”

so ofcourse Obama will be upset at Netanyahu for bursting that belief!!!

Better yet, how about a repeat engagement with GloZell? This time, Obongo can wear the green lipstick.

We must hope that Obama does not arrange for a “Fundamentalist Christian gun and Bible hugger” to assinate Mr. Netenyahu. That would be old jug ears style.

Their flacks are indeed a pain. US need welcome them with a carpet of FLAK if not fliegerabwehrkanone!
