Members of Congress are demanding that President Obama come clean about controversial reports that he is considering leveling sanctions on Israel, according to a letter sent Friday afternoon by lawmakers to the White House.

The Obama administration has found itself engulfed in controversy since reports emerged Thursday that the White House and State Department had met in secret to strategize about imposing sanctions on Israel for its continued building of houses in contested Jerusalem neighborhoods.

State Department and White House officials have continued to dodge questions from reporters on the matter, maintaining that they will neither confirm nor deny the reports.

The EXEMPT corrupt, treasonous Congress
cannot even protect Americans or the Constitution.

They are useless except to preen before their MSM
or to make THEMSELVES (and their corrupt Staff) EXEMPT.

::::::::::

Yes. He continues to operate as the criminal America-hater that he is...with impunity...and the Congress just lets him get away with it. For over six years.

Boy, Obama — you really stepped in it THIS TIME!!!

Those Republican Congresscritters are really mad and it’s gonna take at least an hour before they fold when you say ‘Boo!’ at them & they run away with their tails tucked firmly up their butts!

You’re really asking for it...

(Hey, Boehner -— GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN! Scared ya, huh?)

My guess: No plans for sanctions on Israel. Disinformation intended to keep the pot boiling and distract attention from all the other scandals. That’s how warped they are. It’s all a game...all politics all the time with no regard for the good of the country.

Congress still needs to go through the motions to out him on this.

While we all knew of Obama’s true colors long long ago it seems as if one or two of the anointed elite in the legislative branch are just beginning to allow themselves to believe that he’s really not so much oriented to America’s well being as they had wished. What a bunch of doofuss’s!
