Obama Angry that Israel Passed U.S. Secrets to U.S. Congress

If you thought that Obama was done with his tantrum over Netanyahu’s win, you haven’t seen anything yet. Get ready for more Un-American Activities Committee hearings by actual authentic un-Americans.

Call this an extension of Obama’s #47Traitors meme accusing the other branch of government of treason for opposing him. That’s usually a charge made by dictators, but a near majority of Democrats support Obama governing unilaterally, so here we come.

Now the charge, as usual made by anonymous officials, is that Israel spied on Obama’s talks with Iran… for Congress. Israel is passing classified information from the U.S. government… to the U.S. government.

This is one of the strangest headlines ever because you have that same anonymous official saying that he isn’t upset by Israel’s espionage… but that Israel passed the material to Congress.

Hey, as much as Obama views Israel as an enemy… he views Congress as an even bigger enemy.

Soon after the U.S. and other major powers entered negotiations last year to curtail Iran’s nuclear program, senior White House officials learned Israel was spying on the closed-door talks…

The espionage didn’t upset the White House as much as Israel’s sharing of inside information with U.S. lawmakers and others to drain support from a high-stakes deal intended to limit Iran’s nuclear program, current and former officials said.

“It is one thing for the U.S. and Israel to spy on each other. It is another thing for Israel to steal U.S. secrets and play them back to U.S. legislators to undermine U.S. diplomacy,” said a senior U.S. official briefed on the matter.

How dare Israel pass U.S. secrets… to the U.S. Sure go ahead spy on us… BUT HOW DARE YOU PASS INFORMATION TO THE ENEMY IN CONGRESS.

The White House discovered the operation, in fact, when U.S. intelligence agencies spying on Israel intercepted communications among Israeli officials that carried details the U.S. believed could have come only from access to the confidential talks, officials briefed on the matter said.

Israeli officials denied spying directly on U.S. negotiators and said they received their information through other means, including close surveillance of Iranian leaders receiving the latest U.S. and European offers. European officials, particularly the French, also have been more transparent with Israel about the closed-door discussions than the Americans, Israeli and U.S. officials said.

So Obama was spying on Israel and discovered that the Israelis were getting information from the French and passing them on to Congress. And he’s outraged, not by the spying, since he was doing that, but by the ‘Congress’ part.

To summarize

1. The French know more about what Obama is doing than Congress does

2. Obama doesn’t want Congress to know what the French know

3. The French and the Israelis want Congress to know

4. Obama views Congress as a bigger enemy than foreign governments

5. The only people willing to keep the U.S. government in the loop about what its rogue executive is doing are France and Israel.

6. How long until Obama starts calling France racist the way he’s calling Israel racist?

7. Is it possible that instead of #47Traitors, we just have #1Traitor?

Exit question. If Obama is spying on Israeli officials, yet views Congress as a bigger threat and knows that Israel passed along information to Congress, is he spying on Congress?

Israel denies ‘utterly false’ claims it spied on U.S.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3271401/posts

Israel on Tuesday vehemently denied claims that it had spied on the U.S. during the Iranian negotiations, as reported earlier by The Wall Street Journal.

Official in the Prime Minister’s Office called the allegations “utterly false.”

“The State of Israel does not conduct espionage against the United States or Israel’s other allies. The false allegations are clearly intended to undermine the strong ties between the United States and Israel and the security and intelligence relationship we share,” they said.

Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said Israel had not received an official complaint from the American administration over such claims and that “there is no way, and there was no way, that Israel spied on the Americans. That is seriously forbidden among every level of Israel’s policy leaders.”

“Israel’s security-intelligence relationship with the U.S. has suffered no harm, someone is just trying to stir conflict,” Ya’alon said. “It’s a shame that such winds are blowing into the clandestine channels in which we conduct this relationship.”

Well, since everything this administration does is either Top Secret or hidden by Executive privilege so that the only way for Israel to defend itself is to tell what evil the Obama administration is up behind the scenes by arming Iran with nukes.

Good for Israel! Americans need to know.

Obies convoluted view of HIMSELF is mirrored by his convoluted view of governing...

hes about to blow himself sky high...and the only humanitarian thing we can do is to see to it that hes placed in isolation in a safe environment without access communications with the outside world or any sharp objects like a ball point pen...

[Exit question. If Obama is spying on Israeli officials, yet views Congress as a bigger threat and knows that Israel passed along information to Congress, is he spying on Congress?]

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to the baseness that lies deep in the heart of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague. Marcus Tullius Cicero

Skip impeachment. Go directly to arrest, for treason.

Its painfully obvious that Barry Hussein's allegiance lies with Iran. I think The boy King is pissed about the Israeli election because he didn't come through for his terror state Iran.

No one gets more upset than a lying, cheating democrat when they are accused of some underhanded act.

They get even more upset at the accusation when it is true.

Notice that the USA discovered the Israeli spying by spying.

And also notice that Israel merely performed Obama’s Constitutional duty to get the “advice and consent” of Congress.

A “thank you for defending our Constitution from a tyrant” seems more in order.

Sad part is, if Obama decides in 2016 to declare himself Emperor or Dictator or IL Duce for life, he would probably have between 40% and 50% approval. For starters, how many of the 47% on the government tit one way or another would oppose him?
The American Revolution was fought with less than 35% approval. I doubt we could muster 20% to prevent Obama from such a declaration.

If they would only use it.
