"This is about President Obama spending more time on trying to destroy an Israeli government than addressing ISIS, al-Qaeda, Hamas or Islamic Jihad."

The TRUTH of the matter for those paying attention

The Left is terrified that Netanyahu’s address before Congress will have the same galvanizing effect that Churchill’s “iron curtain” Missouri speech had in 1946. Netanyahu will clearly and with precision outline the threat that nuclear armed Muslim fanatics is for Western civilization. It will contrast with the contorted rationalizations and incoherent mumblings that the American people have heard from Obama. Churchill’s speech made clear the reality of international communism. Americans then understood the threat, fought the cold war and eventually communism was destroyed as an existential threat. The Left fears that Netanyahu will do the same regarding the Muslim jihadists.

He should stay home. I wager that everyone involved will find some face saving way to cancel, maybe call it reschedule, until some time after the Israeli election and maybe with the joint participate of everyone.

Obama's narcissistic behavior will most likely create the opposite effect of what he's trying to do.
I will bet that this will be the most viewed speech coming from Congress for 2015!

We pretty much know what he needs to say. And he’s a very good speaker. But the problem is that the ones who need to hear him are threatening to go AWOL. There truly are none so blind as they who will not see (or hear) Bibi has to speak, yes, but I greatly regret that the D party leadership has been infiltrated and usurped by Enemy agents and members of our ruling elite who’ve somd out to the enemy. And, as Jesus said, “ Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” Well, I for one look forward to heating Bibi even though I doubt anything anyone says can do much good for Anerica as long as our government has been taken from us.

There are some indications that this is really causing a lot of trouble for Bibi in Israel where many have appreciated Democrat support over the years and now see failure to coordinate between Rs and Ds as potentially very dangerous to Israel. Here is a quote from one discussion of the topic I was reading:

“Even a small movement against the Likud could lead to some other party getting to form the next government. Instead of Bibi running a victory lap just before the elections, now they’ve been doing damage control on this for a couple of weeks.
Hanegbi’s spent his whole career as a political hack, going back to his time in college (and yeah, he’s been on my radar for that long). He doesn’t do nuance.
Ambassador Dermer is another political hack, and a former US Republican operative to boot. [It appears he had to give up his US citizenship in order to take this post.] He and the Speaker’s Office got their signals straight and told the same story: that it was Boehner that get snowed. Dermer clearly did not want to burn bridges with Boehner or the Republican leadership. Hanegbi’s radio interview — a forum that was likely campaign related — is political damage control related to their elections.
In Israel, this story is decreasingly about Iran, and increasingly about how badly Netanyahu is mismanaging US relations by undermining long cultivated non-partisan support for Israeli in the US Congress. It’s the last thing that the Likud wants to talk about right now, but the story won’t go away. They’re starting to panic.”

I don’t know how true all this is, but is certainly worth finding out more about. For sure any war that we might get into with Iran is going to be even worse than the Iraq debacle.

Why should he wait after the election? He is the current Prime Minister of Israel. Why is it any of our business when their election is taking place, and why should that decide whether he can speak or not?

Unless of course, the ones who don't want him to speak are hoping and working for him to be defeated so that the next administration there will not be opposed to a nuclear armed Iran, and call them out on their foolishness.

I still can’t believe Barack Obama is president of the United States.

He is NOT the legitimate President of the United States.

That "Birth Certificate" is a forgery.

I’m with you. I still can’t believe it either. As bad as everyone thinks Romney was, I sure wish he had prevailed. He wouldn’t be out to destroy the country.

I heard that since the people of Israel found out Obama had sent people to undermine Bibi’s election his popularity has surged.
