Pelosi slams Netanyahu invite
The Hill ^ | January 22, 2015 | Mike Lillis

Posted on 01/22/2015 9:16:13 AM PST by maggief

Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) surprise invitation to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu address Congress was "inappropriate," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi charged Thursday

The California Democrat said that, not only did Boehner break congressional protocol by not consulting with Democratic leaders about the invitation, but the timing of the speech — coming just a few weeks ahead of Israel's contentious national elections — hints that politics are at play.

"It's out of the ordinary that the Speaker would decide that he would be inviting people to a joint session without any bipartisan consultation," Pelosi said Thursday during her weekly press briefing in the Capitol. "And there are concerns about the fact that this … presentation will take place within two weeks of the election in Israel," she added. "I don't think that's appropriate for any country, that the head of state would come here within two weeks of his own election in his own country."

...that the head of state would come here...

The head of state of Israel is Reuven Rivlin.

“”I hope they make these little b*tches squeal like piggies every day for the rest of the Kenyan Klown’s administration.””

They aren’t off to a very good start. Look at Flake AZ and Mc Caul TX - no money for more fencing at our southern border; it would be a waste!!!! Let’s just tear out what is already there and not doing its job anymore! AND watering down the House abortion bill for fear of re-igniting the “war on women”.....

This new GOP Congress is getting pretty disgusting pretty fast!!!

Nothing happens in DC without Pelosi knowing about it.
Is it possible someone in the GOP finally closed the security leak that has been there since 2004?

“”The head of state of Israel is Reuven Rivlin. “”

From what I read, he is one who needs replacing...

Didn’t she once invite the Mexican president to insult the US, and all the Dems applauded at each and every insult?

What about the hag’s lack of outrage as the Kenyan went to Europe and campaigned in front of grand public monuments with the leftist leaders there giving him access to anything he wanted.

Dianne Feinstein: Democrat in all but name Ron Rand Paul: Hillary: by contrast, a Democrat who's not running for POTUS: The Biggest Turd in the Punchbowl: the rest of the backstory: Obama was probably in on the multinational terrorist plan to start a new war with Israel, during which he'd use his usual overreach to deny aid while being unavailable for comment due to golf (or due to summit meetings with his fellow western hemisphere despots, or both). The Israelis used a grenade and a funnel on that plan, and now Speaker Boehner has humiliated Zero, Plus, Lurch, Jarrett and the rest with this invitation. *This* was the correct Republican response to the SOTU.
