Joe Biden will skip Israeli Prime Minister’s Congressional speech in March. He is going to leave the country.

Minority Leader Pelosi says Democrats will be busy and she hopes the event won’t take place. And now we know that the Obama administration told Black Caucus members to skip the speech and to publicly speak out against it. The Daily Mail reported:

Two prominent black Democrats in the House of Representatives are vowing to skip Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress next month, a move that a White House insider says was put in motion by the Obama administration.

If I said what I was thinking it would not be nice.......so silence is the order of the day (for me). Have at it fellow Freepers

[Lady Heron]

The optics of this is just horrible for dems.

I second that!

"Skip Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress next month or it's the hot-box! "

No use letting the empty seats go to waste. Invite one rabbi from each of their districts to attent the address.

When will we ever get adults in the White House. Calling for boycotts in this case, is childish.

Does the Black Caucus need others to tell them how to think, what to wear and where to go? Absolutely NOT! Can black leaders think for themselves? If they choose to boycott Netanyahu’s speech you will see the same answer, “probably not”.

We've found something Brian won't take responsibility of.

Insider says Obama administration 'sent a message' to black Democratic lawmakers that they should...

The Muslim In The White Mosque is afraid, vewy vewwy afraid.

If America hears what Islam is, and learn what Muslims do, they may decide to acecpt that Islam will always attack all non-Muslims, then conclude that Islam must be extirpated.

Up goes the ballon on the game of “Cowboys & Muslims”.

I love the optics. The Prime Minister of Israel shows up and Democrats, especially black Democrats, boycott.
I wish I could be there to throw yellow roses in the path of Netanyahu’s motorcade.

“The optics of this is just horrible for dems.”

They’ve probably polled this matter and have most likely found that Democrats (Progressives/Communists) like the idea of boycotting Mr. Netanyahu’s appearance.

The totalitarian, revolutionary, Progressive punks in congress are nothing but a reflection of what exists in the electorate; this will go well with their base, they’ll probably rise in the polls and spread rose petals in Hillary!’s path to the White House.

IMHO

I'll go.

I'm sure neither "independent" Senator Anus King nor CongRAT Smelly Fingree will be attending.

Well, that and the millions of big-city dead voters, union thug/college student/ACORN multi-voters, and other professional RAT-vote fraudsters

There IS a God!

We should invite Netanyahu to speak every week.

Alas, the problem is Joe will just come back.

[firebasecody]

I’d rather they all stomp their feet and hold their collective breaths until code blue. Such absolute children.

[FrankR]

Pouting is so not cool for Congressmen of the United States. Kind’a lacks class of the heathen variety.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Beat them with this until they are bloody. Equate skipping Netanyahu’s speech with support for Islamic terror.

HURT THEM.

Not any time soon. I don't understand why the Republicans even give him the time of day anymore. Any parent of a three year old would give them the same advise; Ignore the tantrum.

[Texas Eagle]

the Obama administration told Black Caucus members to skip the speech.

What does that even mean? What is "the Obama administration"? They mean Obama, right?
