Great speech, Will zero give a snarky rebuttal speech?

[basil]

Aam I the only one who can’t get the video to play?

* Israel would never return to its old, narrow borders.*
Good! Why should they?

Obama needs to find out who our friends are. Maybe he should consult a small town Civics teacher.

"Will zero give a snarky rebuttal speech?"

The President is such a putz.

[okstatemom]

Powerful speech by Bibi. I didn’t agree with everything (I don’t want Israel to make more concessions), but he did a great job, and his words were powerful and effective.

[Nachum]

It was a live feed. Probably just over. I was watching as I was posting.

[freedumb2003]

The FXN analyst said it was interrupted by 56 applauses!

This short speech was more compelling than the entirety of all the speeches by the TOTUS-reader since he was a rabble-rouser, uh I mean, community organizer.

I see Clyburn couldn’t be bothered to stand.

While Barack Obama tours the UK, Congress gets to hear from a real head of state, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

Fixed it.

Ah, but listening carefully to what Bibi said, he qualified those concessions with ‘to negotiate a peace with a Palestinian state which will recognize the Israeli state.’ That is an important distinction given that the Palestinian Authority now recognizes Hamas as their partner, and Hamas charter calls for not just the annihilation of the State of Israel but to kill every Jew! When the Palestinians acknowledge that they wil have a state of their own alongside a Jewish state, THEN concessions will be made, and only then. Also, Bibi stated a couple of precise ‘non-negotiables, like a continued military presence along the Jordan River.

Awesome speech, just awesome. That is all I can say - TOTUS was out of the country resting in Europe.

[conservaterian]

Why don’t we just keep him and let the UK keep Obama. They would think it a good deal and I know I would.

[Spok]

Obama can’t seem to connect with Bibi. I think Obama is totally baffled by a man who is willing to stand up for his country. It’s a sentiment and motive that’s completely alien to our president.

Hussein can only personally connect to leaders committed to destroying their counties by curtailing freedoms -- like Hugo Chavez.
