President Barack Obama had a message for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday: German Chancellor Angela Merkel would not have accepted an invitation to speak before Congress without first notifying him.

“As much as I love Angela, if she was two weeks away from an election, she probably would not have received an invitation to the White House, and I suspect she wouldn’t have asked for one,” Obama said at a Monday press conference after meeting the German leader in Washington.

Obama’s comments are said to reflect his anger over the fact that Netanyahu accepted an invitation from House Speaker John Boehner to address a joint session of Congress. […]

Israeli officials told a television station on Friday that they are convinced the Obama administration has already agreed to most of Tehran’s demands in the current negotiations over its nuclear program. The unnamed officials claim Washington “has given the Iranians 80 percent of what they want” in the negotiations, Israel’s Channel 10 reported. …

Few people know this about Merkel but she absolutely hates to give speeches. She’ll refrain from off-the-cuff question and answer periods or reporter interviews, unless it’s absolutely necessary. If she is forced into a speech situation....it rarely will run more than fifteen minutes.

Merkel is not facing a neighbor that has openly voiced its desire for the destruction of her state and people and that is hell-bent on acquiring nuclear weapons.

Bibi stands alone as the boldest, most realistic and finest leader we have on the planet today.

Obamugabe and Merkel? Way, way WAY down the list. Maybe just above the Prime minister of Laos. Or Swaziland.

Something is clearly going on in the Whitehouse.
Drugs?

It would be nice if Prime Minister Harper was invited to sit in on the speech. He has been a friend of Israel and would probably love to be there.

Yet, depending what poll you read, 42 to 48% still support this clown. It tells me we are in deep trouble as a nation.

It is obama that keeps doing evil or mean things to Bibi and the Jewish people. Do we need to list them all again?

He tries to ruin everyone who isn't obama. Before he can really harm the Jews, they have to work their way to the front of the line.

Actually, I don't see the words "to me" in Obama's statement. That was the headline writer's words. Still, I'm sure that was his feeling.

This is really eating OBAMA'S lunch which makes me think, it's absolutely being done the correct way. Obama shouldn't have a say in this, period.

But if he treated Merkle the same way, she would do it and even do it quicker and better.

The average American still gets his information from the mainstream media. My local ABC radio station carries Rush Limbaugh. The contrast between Limbaugh and the ABC radio news could not be greater. If you work for a living and hear the radio news on your evening commute home you will think the economy is great and Obama is wonderful.

The real enemy is in America is the media.

We have millions of immigrants that vote.
Most are not ‘white’.

Last two presidential elections were anti white male.

Obamas goal is to change the demographics in order to implement socialism. Import poor Mexicans that will vote for freebies.

Our children are going to watch the destruction of the USA.

The dumb SOB won’t let go...... he has been dissed and the pain and blue marks on his black butt are killing him. His whining attempts to mitigate the visit will be drowned in the back wash from the damning speech
