How dare he speak out on the Iranian nuclear threat!

On Thursday the Obama White House said they would not meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu because they wanted to “avoid the appearance of influencing a democratic election in a foreign country.”

The Israeli elections are two weeks after Netanyahu is set to address a joint session of Congress.

On Friday an Obama administration official told reporters Netanyahu “spat in our face.”
The Times of Israel reported:

The White House’s outrage over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to speak before Congress in March — a move he failed to coordinate with the administration — began to seep through the diplomatic cracks on Friday, with officials telling Haaretz the Israeli leader had “spat” in President Barack Obama’s face.

“We thought we’ve seen everything,” the newspaper quoted an unnamed senior US official 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,” he said.

So much for not influencing a foreign election, huh?

Monday morning...Impeachment procedures should be started against the current president. The house can vote and send the impeachment to the senate for trial by Tuesday afternoon...at this point, there is nothing good that will come from a continued Obola administration...they are literally pouring gasoline on a fire and good Americans will end up being killed as a result...

Do not get your hopes up friend. Republicans have no game. That was evident the last two years of GWB. This is all theater.

Spat in Our Face

Note the royal use of "our" that replaces "my".
