Obama is not only on the outs with Israel, but Merkel and Hollande are talking to Putin without bothering to invite our AssClown along. Are we becoming North Korea?

[SunkenCiv]

This has all been a calculated move by the Demagogic Party to humiliate our ally *yet again*. Anyone who saw their behavior at the convention in 2012 can't be surprised about this latest maneuver.

[luvie]

They won’t.

[scrabblehack]

Is there any precedent for something like that?

[scrabblehack]

What I meant was - I was thinking that there was a special gallery or something for visitors like that, and the regular seats were reserved for the legislators.

Wouldn’t it be interesting to guess which enemy islamists won’t be there?

[PapaBear3625]

That would certainly play into what the opposition parties in Israel say about Netanyahu and fuel their campaign even more to defeat Netanyahu.

Meanwhile, After snubbing Netanyahu, Biden meets with Israeli opposition leader Herzog in Munich. But that's not being partisan. No, not at all.

[Star Traveler]

That sort of thing ... fortunately for Netanyahu ... plays to offset the “partisan issue” from the Israeli opposition. They cut the ground out from under themselves (and in their argument) by doing this.

I don’t understand why Netanyahu doesn’t come at the end of May after his reelection. Then I think most of the Dems would attend.

So we should all kow-tow to, and check with, the dems, before breathing?

Just their point.

In their, and O'bumbles, delusional worlds, no one should make a move without first passing it through them and receiving their permission.

And you're okay with that?

Well, alrightly, then. (I thought WE won the Senate and the congress?)

Not to mention that, by the end of May, it may be too late to curb some disastrous actions = or non-actions on such things as Iran/ISIS. Some things are mor important than the dems time schedules and approval.

Yes, he should come and speak then too.

[Lisbon1940]

I corrected myself upthread. If he came two weeks later, at the end of March then there would be no issue. I don’t really care if Dems attend his speech or not, but may here are upset that some Dems are not going to attend. That’s why I suggested dong it on a day when there is not controversy.

[Bob Ireland]

Is there some way to get the Democraps to just absent Congress altogether? Perhaps Netanyahu should become House Speaker...
