President Barack Obama is sending National Security Advisor Susan Rice and UN Ambassador Samantha Power–widely seen as among the most anti-Israel members of his administration–to address a prominent pro-Israel gathering next week. The move is described by the Associated Press as an effort to mend fences after the administration had withheld speakers from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) policy conference. In reality, it is a further slap in the face.
Rice caused an uproar earlier this week when she told interviewer Charlie Rose that the forthcoming speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a special joint session of Congress was “destructive” to the U.S.-Israel relationship and to bipartisan support for Israel. Power is controversial because of her earlier view that the U.S. should send troops to impose peace between Israelis and Palestinians–a view she recanted as she campaigned for the United Nations position.
President Obama addressed the gathering in 2012, but no major administration officials addressed the 2013 gathering, as tensions rose with the Netanyahu government over the terms of a potential nuclear agreement with Iran. In 2010, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addressed the AIPAC conference in the midst of a public dispute with Netanyahu over housing in Jerusalem. Some conference attendees chose to skip her speech rather than raise a protest inside the forum.

Actually, that is a rather stupid move that can only embarrass His Arrogance and his minions.
At least he didn’t send Tehran Val
It’s disgusting.
I think King Bamster is trying to bait Bibi into losing his cool with these two dumbazz LIAR fembots.
Susan Rice, Obama’s designated liar.
It is, however, plausible that Obama is doing this as a warning shot to Rice and Power - they can not be happy to be forced to sit in the same room with people that they so clearly despise.
His message - “I’m in control, you work for me, don’t get any big ideas about what you can do by yourself, or else.”
Just keeping the underlings in their place...
Obama seems to be just getting out of control with the in-your-face antics. Something has to give at some point.
After all the rotten tomatoes the Obama administration has been throwing at Israel and Bibi Netanyahu over the past month, for AIPAC to invite Susan Rice and Samantha Power to address its convention is like the NAACP inviting the leaders of the Ku Klux Klan to speak at its annual meeting.
Will Obama’s foreign-policy ladies apologize for their attacks, or will they use AIPAC as a forum to continue them?
well, it won't be the GOPe - spineless cowards.
The leftist jews who worship Bath House have a death wish.
I keep hoping the SEALs will take action to save this country.. If they haven’t all been wiped out by now, that is.
