The Obama administration reportedly is fuming over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plans to address Congress in March regarding the Iranian threat, with one unnamed official telling an Israeli newspaper he will pay “a price” for the snub.
House Speaker John Boehner invited Netanyahu -- and the Israeli leader accepted – without any involvement from the White House.
In public, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest politely describes this as a “departure” from protocol. He also says the president will not meet with Netanyahu when he visits in early March, but has attributed that decision only to a desire not to influence Israel’s upcoming elections.
But in private, Obama’s team is livid with the Israeli leader, according to Haaretz

How did BiBi snub the one? I can see being pissed at Boehner.
Unfortunately he can not be our president
Boehner needs to make BO pay a price.
John controls the purse strings.
Excellent point
Post 18 shares my view.
Good point. What's he supposed to do, invite himself to the White House?
It's Israeli-Derangement-Syndrome.
We won. Deal with it.
Chicken S*** comes home to roost.
May be now the Jewish People in America will wake up and realize who really has their backs.
The guy who boasted that he will maneuver around Congress with his phone and pen is upset? LOL!
Bohner ought to make it a weekly thirty minute talk show. something like “Ask Bibi”. Milhous’s meltdown would be epic.
Bibi looks pretty hot in his younger days!
How sad the history "books" will have to recount such petty antics from our oval office, right next two protocol snubs of Netanyahu meetings (being made to enter through a side door and interrupting a meeting for dinner with the Obama family--ostensibly)!
I'm sure horseface has been "paying a price" for his protocol snubs of Nixon by meeting the North Vietnamese, right?

A “Sleeper Cell” would indicate in hiding until they are ready to destroy... I don’t think the Iranian born co-President Valerie Jarrett qualifies as a sleeper. This group is totally out in the open with their destruction of our Republic.
If Obama were not President, he would be a member of ISIS..Netanyahu knows that Obama and his cronies all despise Israel..meanwhile, they cozy up to Iran and are counting the days til they get their hands on a nuke
Our President, Barack Hussein Obama, is an anti-Semite and, at least, a Muslim sympathizer and Muslim Brotherhood enabler.
So, what would one expect...???
Obama is “livid” because he feels HE is being “snubbed”?
This seals the narcissistic personality disorder diagnosis so many have suggested here.
Obama can’t meet with Netanyahu, so Congress cannot either?
Let’s face it. This is King Obama saying, “Since when did you schmucks remember that you were a coequal branch of government? L’etat c’est moi.”
There is no doubt that the thunderous, enthusiastic reception Netanyahu will receive before Congress will no doubt contrast sharply from the tepid reaction Obama received during his SOTU address. Also a message will be delivered to the mullahs that they are not hearing from Kerry or Obama.
However Netanyahu would be foolish if amid all the adulation he failed to understand that Obama’s policies are not happening in a political or cultural vacuum. Changing demographics, a woeful ignorance of history in general and the Holocaust in particular has lessened considerably the support Israel enjoyed in the West since its inception.
If people observe carefully they will find the Democratic side of the aisle, will be less well attended and Netanyahu will receive a much cooler response. It would be interesting to do a poll gauging support for Israel in the remaining Democratic congressional districts. Would not be surprised if support and sympathy in those districts for the Palestinians exceeded that for Israel.
Netanyahu and future Israeli leaders are facing a new political reality.
