"...On some level the Obama administration has an argument. Foreign policy is the domain of the executive branch under the Constitution. It is not a matter that really involves Congress....."

Well, isn't that just fine and dandy? The administration does NOT have an argument on ANY level. Obama needs to be reminded that creating legislation is not the domain of the presidency like he has been doing by ignoring the Constitution and using executive action illegally without going through Congress.

The man can't have it both ways.

I agree that Obama is a hypocrite on this matter. However if we’re going to demand that he follow the Constitution then we must be prepared to have our side follow the Constitution as well. In that respect, foreign policy is the exclusive domain of the President. Congress has limited power to control the President’s diplomatic relations.

Keep in mind I’m not defending Obama here. I clearly pointed out that as a matter of policy I agree with Netanyahu. My issue is that I’m not particularly comfortable having foreign leaders lecturing our Congress. That’s true whether we’re talking about Netanyahu, Churchill, Merkel or any other foreign leader.
