There will be a price’: Obama team reportedly fuming over Netanyahu visit
FoxNews.com ^ | January 23, 2015

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.

"We thought we've seen everything," a source identified as a senior American official was quoted as saying. "But Bibi managed to surprise even us. There are things you simply don't do.

“He spat in our face publicly and that's no way to behave. Netanyahu ought to remember that President Obama has a year and a half left to his presidency, and that there will be a price."

Exactly! Boehner invited, and Bibi accepted. Bibi does not need Barky’s permission to accept and invite.

Netanyahu should make a huge revelation when he addresses Congress.

Releasing the Mossad's files on the Muslim Brotherhood's agents within the Democratic Party ought to do it.

I know what they’re doing .. but so many people come here who do not understand the Constitution .. and therefore, they don’t have a clue that Obama can determine who can speak before a joint session of Congress.

It was just making me mad to see the same garbage posted over and over .. and nobody was telling the truth about it.

It’s just been another opportunity for Obama’s people to make fun of the repubs .. and they do nothing to counter it.

Hell has no fury like an angry girly man.

Especially when he’s president.

““He spat in our face publicly and that’s no way to behave. “


No it isn’t——that’s why I wonder why the Obama administration keeps spitting in Netanyahu’s face.

What a sickening crowd we have in DC.

It's always 'payback' time with Obama.

Oct 1, 2014 On live TV at the White House Netanyahu slaps down Obama's 1967 Border Proposal;

Netanyahu hit back at Obama after Obama criticized Israeli plans to build thousands more settler homes in Occupied East Jerusalem.

Bibi told Obama to study the facts and details before making statements about the settlement plans.

Back in the Oval Office, Obama was later heard shouting, "What the F was that!" over and over.

And, remember Valerie Jarrett's words about 'payback time';

"Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay".
They hold grudges.

Good .. BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT CANNOT DETERMINE WHO CAN SPEAK BEFORE A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS.

He wants the “no nothings” to believe he has that power .. HE DOES NOT.

This is actually the one time I applaud Boehner for doing something right..about damn time too!! Obama is just pissed because once Bibi speaks in front of Congress, they will impose more sanctions on Obama’s butt buddy Iran..with Jimmy Carter, he was just a senile idiot..with Obama, he is just the scum of the earth. I absolutely hate his guts, every last inch of him. I know he wants to see the destruction of Israel, he is the puppet for Valerie Jarrett, who is running the show..she is a Muslim Iranian POS who hates Israel so of course she is running the show behind the scenes

It truly sucks to have the Kenyan rock sucker, bath house trolling, Reggie Love poker for president and his chewbacca wannabe for his wife.

It’s not America. It’s Obama and that herd of fat flatulent cows corralled in the white hut right now who are against Israel.

I have often thought that Congress could be said to have more power, as they can change the scope of SCOTUS and impeach the POTUS, among other curbs they have on the other branches. They just don’t realize it.

I’m glad Boehner did this, but what’s he up to? Sorry, just can’t trust the guy as far as I can kick his a$$.
