NBC ^ | March 1, 2015 | MARK MURRAY

Poll: Nearly Half of Americans Take Issue With Netanyahu Speech BY MARK MURRAY Nearly half of American voters — 48 percent — say that congressional Republicans should not have invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress on Tuesday without first notifying President Barack Obama, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

By contrast, 30 percent of those polled believe the invitation was fine, and another 22 percent don't know enough to say either way.

Not surprisingly, the issue breaks along partisan lines, with 66 percent of Democrats saying Republicans shouldn't have invited Netanyahu without first notifying the president, compared with just 28 percent of Republicans who say that.

I guess that’s not so bad.
If I were NBC, and I had asked 100 liberals and got the response this poll pushes I would be interested in telling the world too.
I turned off anything to do with NBC many years ago.
Drivel, drivel, and more drivel.

So nearly half of America is clueless. I’m surprised the number is that low.

Not plausible with seeing how the question was worded. It’s just more manufactured opinion.

Half of America elected this guy twice and they will pay dearly for it. Frankly I don’t give a hoot what they think.

48% of “American voters” didn’t vote in the midterms and are mindless drones who get all of their political views from late night comedians.

These polls are manufactured by liberals to support their POV.

They are worthless and mean nothing. I'm certain over 1/2 the country is unaware of Bibi's visit.

Netanyahu’s address to Congress will be most important speech of his life
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3262930/posts

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming address to a joint meeting of Congress will probably be the most important speech of his career — and one that has already jeopardized relations between Israel and the United States.

On Tuesday morning, Netanyahu will confront an American president and insist that the future of the State of Israel, and the world, is imperiled by a pending “bad deal” with Iran on its nuclear program.

Also hanging in the balance is Netanyahu’s own political future. Just two weeks after the speech, Netanyahu will either be reelected to a historic fourth term as prime minister or be out of a job.

Netanyahu has spent three terms as Israeli prime minister focused on the dangers posed by Iran. In his first address to Congress in 1996, he warned that an atomic Iran would “presage catastrophic consequences, not only for my country, and not only for the Middle East, but for all mankind.”
