During Barack Obama's recent State of the Union speech, he told America he had no more campaigns to run. But it seems that statement flies in the face of reports that an organization known as One Voice has brought in what has been called a "five-man Obama team" to defeat Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Included in that five-man team is Jeremy Bird, the national field director for Obama's 2012 campaign, Dr. Aaron Lerner, Director of the Independent Media Review and Analysis, said Monday, citing a report at Haaretz.
That group, Dr. Lerner added, will run the anti-Netanyahu effort out of offices taking up the ground floor of a Tel Aviv office building. The campaign, known as V-2015, is careful not to support a specific party, but is working to ensure Netanyahu does not win Israel's March election...not subject to that country's campaign finance laws.
"And Obama, of course believes in protocol and propriety which is why he won't get involved," she wrote on Facebook. "No, he's not getting involved at all. He's just sending his 2012 field campaign manager to Israel to run a campaign to defeat Netanyahu. That's all. No interference whatsoever."
News of the team's arrival in Israel comes just days after the administration accused House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, of breaking protocol by inviting Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress.
And it's no secret that Obama doesn't like Netanyahu. "You're tired of him -- what about me? I have to deal with him every day," Obama said after former French President Nicolas Sarkozy called the Israeli prime minister a "liar."
According to its webpage, the "One Voice" movement boasts a number of powerful partners. Among the partners listed is Google, the Harvard Negotiation and Mediation Clinical Program and the United States State Department.

Excellent points. You might pass it on to Mr. Gowdy.
I hope the Jews of Israel pay attention that the USA is trying to decide their elections for them. I hope they see through this crap and vote for the PM. The USA would not stand for Putin coming over here and trying to change our elections. I hope Israel is smarter than this to allow this to happen. If they do and sell out the nation to the murdering thugs of ISIS and Izzlam, then they will pay the price when the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob comes and burns their butts.
I thought there were some international laws about interference in elections....
Who’s paying for this? The article mentions Google, the Harvard Negotiation and Mediation Clinical Program and the United States State Department. The US State Department would be the US taxpayer. Republicans in the House and Senate don’t appear to be able to stop or cease funding anything.

There are laws, and they might be walking a tightrope.
Laws don’t mean anything to the obama administration unless it’s to their advantage.
Clinton and his cronies took care of the legal ground when they defeated Netanyahu before.
There are ISRAELI JEWS who are trying to defeat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and they have no problem with the help they are getting in doing so.
I KNOW there are liberal Jews that will go left in their voting. I am speaking of normal, every day Jews who make decisions based on logic, not which arm is longer, the left one or the right one.
*ping*
Mossad? I’m thinking Shin Bet.
There are a whole lot of liberal-voting Jews in Israel. That’s why they fully support the lifestyle of homosexuality in Israel and Tel Aviv is known over the world as a hot spot for the LGBT crowd. And that’s why abortion is fully supported over there in Israel.
There have been quite a few leftist governments in Israel. Leftists have been quite involved in Israeli politics for quite a long time. It’s nothing new.
If I was Bibi I’d consider this an act of war.
While this is infuriating.
It doesn't surprise me one bit. >:(
Surely there is some law they’ve broken. Cops here can arrest you for “being suspicious”. Why can’t the IDF do the same to Obama’s people.
Yes, just as I was recalling. He sent serpenthead Carville and some others.
He also had Cameron here supporting his policies (or something like that) but is getting all wee-wee'd up over Bibi talking to congress.
WE didn’t go against Israel, bambaboy did, just because we live here, the Lord knows who did what...just support Israel and we’ll be fine...
