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.

Netanyahu is coming to the US to speak, not only to the Congress, but to the American people. He is popular with Americans and they yearn for a leader like him. The reason Obama is upset with Netanyahu giving a speech has nothing to do with our relationship with Israel, as Susan Rice tried to BS us again. It has nothing to do with any protocol that requires the White House to invite him here instead of Boehner. Nor is it because of the "delicate" negotiations with Iran, where Kerry and Obama are about to give Iran permission to build their nuclear bomb.

Obama knows Netanyahu with come across to the American people as a strong, confident, forceful leader, while he is a weak, negative, apologetic, anti-American, all talk and no do fake. He knows Bibi will outshine him. Netanyahu is classy, respectful, professional and deferential to Obama. Obama is a petty, petulant, immature, whiney little kid in his behavior towards Bibi.

It has everything to do with Netanyahu being a leader and Obama being a loser.
