Sean Penn?

During Barack Obama's recent State of the Union speech, he told America he had no more campaigns to run. But it seems that statement flies in the face of reports that an organization known as “One Voice” has brought in what has been called a "five-man Obama team" to defeat Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Included in that five-man team is Jeremy Bird, the national field director for Obama's 2012 campaign, Dr. Aaron Lerner, Director of the Independent Media Review and Analysis, said Monday, citing a report at Haaretz.
That group, Dr. Lerner added, will run the anti-Netanyahu effort out of offices taking up the ground floor of a Tel Aviv office building. The campaign, known as V-2015, is careful not to support a specific party, but is working to ensure Netanyahu does not win Israel's March election...not subject to that country's campaign finance laws.
"And Obama, of course believes in protocol and propriety which is why he won't get involved," she wrote on Facebook. "No, he's not getting involved at all. He's just sending his 2012 field campaign manager to Israel to run a campaign to defeat Netanyahu. That's all. No interference whatsoever."
News of the team's arrival in Israel comes just days after the administration accused House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, of “breaking protocol” by inviting Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress.
And it's no secret that Obama doesn't like Netanyahu. "You're tired of him -- what about me? I have to deal with him every day," Obama said after former French President Nicolas Sarkozy called the Israeli prime minister a "liar."
According to its webpage, the "One Voice" movement boasts a number of powerful partners. Among the partners listed is Google, the Harvard Negotiation and Mediation Clinical Program and the United States State Department.

You’re being nice to them.
Wait. Something will come out eventually proving Obama knows.
Might just be one of the things he fears about Bibi’s address to Congress.
I’m sure Obama knows that these people are going over there to help defeat Netanyahu, just like you and I know it, too. But Obama is not “them” and “they” are not Obama.
Are you a Libra?
I’ve been taught to not engage in the devil’s work, as in Astrology ... but I am aware of the Astrological sign that relates to me ... Capricorn ... :-) ...
Me, too! So is Ted Cruz.
Libras are compelled to defend both sides of any argument, which means you must have Mars (planet of war) in Libra.
My thing isn’t so much as defending both sides as it is being accurate and as precise as one is able to be under the circumstances (depending upon how much one is privy to know).
There’s a reason why these people can go over to Israel and do this without getting in trouble with the law ... and knowing the details tells you why.
So, you agree he knows.
And I think it’ll come out he’s involved.
The repaintable halls are not what concerns me. The Muslim brotherhood has access to the entire of the US government files.
Oh, I know why... they’re not supporting a specific candidate, just campaigning *against* Netenyahu... and the Left in Israel has 50+% of the electorate convinced that Islam doesn’t *really* want to drive them into the sea.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

He has to know ... since it’s been plastered all over the news ... :-) ...
BUT, I think what you’re thinking is that he knew about it before anyone else. And, he may very well have, since he would be privy to a lot of inside information (as anyone would who was in his same political position).
Now, as to whether Obama set it up ... it wouldn’t take much. Just one sentence whispered in the right ear and it would get done. Obama could say at a political gathering or a special dinner ... something like ... “You know, if Netanyahu could be defeated, I could get this peace process going again. I wish someone competent would go over there and help defeat Netanyahu.”
That’s all that would need to be said ... AND ... that wouldn’t, in the least, be illegal or even “directing” it from his office.
Do you remember Falcon and the Snowman? Where the despicable USA was fixing elections in some latino hellhole about to go commie?
Now that the Left is doing it, it’s OK. I should like to see Sean Penn’s opinion on Bird. Who ain’t a falcon.
More like Xiann Paan.. his commie name. Not even sure what his real American name is. Maybe ex-pat Madonna knows.
It's not illegal to invite Bibi to speak in front of a joint house of Congress either... consider it a State of the Free World speech... since Binyamin is clearly the leader of it.
Thank gawd someone gets it... these Ukrainian rebels brought on this civil war because they, a minority, wanted Ukraine to be aligned with the unemployed latte-sipping intelligentsia of the European continent.
Something not mentioned which seals this. The list of members of the organization includes the US State Department.
Nor England and France.
