WH Reportedly Considering Media Blitz to Counter Netanyahu Speech

The White House isn’t happy that John Boehner circumvented them to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before Congress, and so they are mulling over ways to counter Netanyahu’s address.

According to a new AP report, one option they already discarded is having President Obama give a speech of his own on Iran to counter Netanyahu’s. What is still on the table, administration officials say, is Obama doing an interview with “a prominent journalist known for coverage of the rift between Obama and Netanyahu.”

They are also considering a media blitz on the Sunday shows, sending senior national security aides on all of them, and have already basically begun what the AP describes as a “cold-shoulder strategy.”

Neither Obama nor Joe Biden will attend Netanyahu’s speech, several Cabinet members will be out of the country, and the White House is even snubbing the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC during its annual meeting.

Here’s hoping he brings some files from the Mossad with him and one up’s Guilliani’s speech.

Could go something like,
Bibi to congress- This is what we need to do. This is why we need to do it. This is what Obama wants to do. This is WHY obama wants to.

Then go full Toto pulling back the curtain exposing obama. Remind congress of the package each member has already recieved from Sheriff Arpaio, confirm and add to it.

I see no reason for Bibi to hold anything back at this point.

Okay, settling back into reality now.

One of the few leaders the world has and not afraid to tell Obama to suck it.

What president has done anything remotely similar to this when a US ally visits? Obama needs to be utterly obliterated over this Giuliani style.

Yes, and they all have submitted certified copies of their birth certificates.

I am so delighted that Boehner has exercised the right provided by the seperation of powers to invite BiBi. It appears that he doesn’t suffer from the same affliction as the New England Patriots.

After all, Boehner is third in line to the presidency. The only thing protecting Obama from impeachment charges is that Biden is second in line.

And he managed to become its president twice anyway.

That is because so many citizens actually hate America also.
