US President Barack Obama on Tuesday told reporters "as far as I can tell, there was nothing new" in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress panning US-led nuclear talks with Iran.
"The prime minister didn't offer any viable alternatives," Obama said, urging Congress to wait to evaluate a nuclear deal with Iran until an agreement is finalized. Obama said that he would only agree to a deal that prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
"Even officials in Netanyahu's government have acknowleged that Iran has lived up to its end of the interim deal," he said.
Obama also said that it is important not to politicize the relationship between Israel and the United States.
Following Netanyahu's speech, a senior US administration official said that Netanyahu failed to offer an alternative in his speech to the US Congress on the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran.
"Simply demanding that Iran completely capitulate is not a plan, nor would any country support us in that position. The prime minister offered no concrete action plan," the official said.
Well, if the rule is that we have to hear something new, we shouldn’t have had State of the Union Addresses for the past five years.
We watched the speech. The Prime Minister told our crowd of cowards assembled that if need be, in order to survive Israel will use nuclear weapons against its enemies. We thought that was pretty new. That’s what made Nancy Pelousy cry.
What’s new is seeing a real leader who loves his country stand up and give a resounding speech on the Hill. That’s not happened in years, especially the last six.
I remember an old made for Tv movie from about 1969 in which a scientist gets visits from his dead daughter telling him how bad war was. the scientist decides the only way to “even things out” was to start passing secrets to the USSR.

Sounds like Obama’s legacy will be that he gave aid and secrets to the enemy, much like Slick Willie did, or worse!
Is Nancy Pelosi mentally ill? She acts a bit disturbed.
Wow.....now how does he know when he claims he didn’t watch the speech. Maybe Obama is magic. What a creep. A total liar that the press does not question at all when he lies.
