Obama’s ugly tantrum could be dangerous to Israel (NY Daily News)

[Brad from Tennessee]

President Obama’s refusal to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu when the Israeli prime minister comes to Washington in March to address a joint meeting of Congress is a petulant, juvenile snub — one that couldn’t be more badly timed.

The Israeli leader “spat in our face,” an unnamed senior U.S. official told Israeli newspaper Haaretz, “and there will be a price.” An unnamed source “close to Kerry” told the Washington Post the House speech “could blunt Secretary Kerry’s enthusiasm for being Israel’s primary defender.”

That’s gangster talk, aimed at one of America’s closest allies — all because the Israeli leader dared to accept House Speaker John Boehner’s to address Congress on the emerging Iranian nuclear threat without consulting them first.

Too bad. Boehner leads the House. He can invite who he wants. Netanyahu leads his country. He can speak where he likes.

In fact, it’s completely understandable that the prime minister would accept the speaker’s invitation — because the President, who should be happily receiving him, has made a hash of the Washington-Jerusalem relationship.

More important than bruised feelings is what Netanyahu has to say about the danger Iran poses to the Jewish state and to the world, a danger Obama seems determined to let metastasize. . .

we need to watch like hawks that he doesn’t get away with doing any more damage (to USA and Israel...alike...)

Sounds great! Who's going to stop him? These clowns?

[faithhopecharity]

Just gotta keep calling and writing them I guess. Boner and pal there are in positions they could really start doing America a lot of good , ........ If only they would ....

[Impy]

I’d say it’s a new low for the Odumbo administration, but this SOB is like a bottomless pit.

[Moorings]

A tantrum from the group that called the Israeli Prime Minister a “Chicken Shit” and “Coward” back in October.

Thanks for reminding us of that little incident. Interestingly the media does not bring these things up.

[Obadiah]

My first thought was easily that the “unnamed official” was Jarrett.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Yep.

[Lion Den Dan]

Since when is JF Kerry a defender of Israel? He needs to go home and soak some raisins for Terezzzza.

[Nateman]

I hope this awakens a lot of Jewish people to the reality that the Democrat party is their enemy. (So they stop wasting their money and votes in favor of the RATS!)

[Slyfox]

Obama spit in Bibi’s face when he successfully got Jerusalem no longer recognized by the U.S. as the capitol of Israel.

[hlmencken3]

The US has never recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

[Slyfox]

Then why did Obama go to such lengths during the 2012 DNC convention to unrecognize something that was already unrecognized?

[hlmencken3]

Do you mean a fight over a party platform?

[Zenjitsuman]

When are liberal Jews going to learn that the Democrats since FDR have only been interested in them for donations and fundraising. FDR, Truman, Carter, Clinton and Obama all said antisemitic things in private .
Dems likened Israel to apartheid state. Kerry wanted to BDS Israel. Obama’s people called Bibi a coward. Kerry threatened to allow UN measures to be passed in the security council. Obama has said Israel must return the the 67 borders. Dems are in favor of giving half of Jerusalem to Muzzies.

I all all these acts taken together with the financial aid to the PLO, and Hamas to be antisemitic.
I forgot, they are allowing Iran to drag it feet and get a Nuke arsenal. What do you think Iran will do with that arsenal,
yes, Iran will try to wipe the Jewish nation out. Dem Liberal Jews it will be on your head if this happens!!!

P.J. O’Rourke must have had someone exactly like Obama in mind when he made this observation:

“At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill disciplined, despotic, and useless. Liberalism is the philosophy of sniveling brats.”

What a great quote! Bears repeating often! Rat bastard liberals, progressives, commie, socialist pigs! May they roast for eternity in Hell!

If Bibi or Mossad or the Russians knows the truth of 0dumb0’s entire background, then they all need to grow a pair of balls and spill the entire truth. I hate to be skeptical but if there was anything on 0dumb0, the truth would have had to come out by now As much as I hate 0dumb0, I think he’s too stupid & narcisstic to sit on anything this long.

[QT3.14]

Been my favorite quote for many years.

For some reason , which I just cannot understand we allow every one to vote. People who do not have any skin in the game; such as 18 year olds, non property owners, non veterans, none business owners, non workers, and the list goes on ad nauseaum.
Only people who have demonstrated a willingness, and the ability to take charge of their own lives and make those difficult decisions, financial and professional in their own lives should be allowed to vote.
22 years old and live at home with mommy&daddy?—NO VOTE.
Unemployed because you are to stupid or lazy to get a job?—NO VOTE.
Not a veteran, never enlisted, even when it was safe?—NO VOTE.
On welfare for more than 2 years?—NO VOTE.
On food stamps for more than 2 years?—NO VOTE.
Never started a business, or worked in private business? NO VOTE.
Are you a felon or a repeat misdomeaner offender—NO VOTE.
And I am sure there are a few I have neglected to mention.

[5th MEB]

American Jews don’t give a sh#t about what happens in Israel; because they are LIBERALS first, DEMOCRATS second, then mostly SOCIALISTS third. The fact that they call themselves Jews is way down on their list of priorities, and just for their perception of social status.

You leave Reggie out of this!
