On Tuesday morning, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address a joint session of the United States Congress. Netanyahu was invited to speak not through standard diplomatic procedures—the kind of procedures, say, that the President of the United States might go through to speak to Israel’s Knesset. Instead, Netanyahu got a special invitation from Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner.
Boehner and Congressional Republicans—who can't seem to do the most basic parts of their job in funding government agencies and our national security apparatus for more than a week at a time—are trying to thumb their noses at the White House. Netanyahu, no fan of Obama himself, is obliging. And anyone who attends or watches the speech is helping.
As if that isn’t reason enough not to tune in, here are three other reasons why Members of Congress and all of us should heed the call to boycott Netanyahu’s speech.
Netanyahu is trying to scuttle promising negotiations with Iran.
According to a poll last year, that 60 percent of American voters—including a strong majority of both Democrats, Independents and Republicans—support making a deal with Iran to limit the country’s nuclear enrichment capacity and impose additional inspections in exchange for easing some of the existing sanctions. And yet despite President Obama’s veto threat, pointing out the harm that would be done to promising negotiations so far, Republicans are threatening to increase sanctions on Iran now that Republicans control both the House and Senate. This approach is endorsed by only 35 percent of Americans. And yet it’s supported by one prominent non-American—Bibi Netanyahu.

I wonder what blatant fabricationism ever did to deserve being compared with the engineered evil of Obie? Blatant fabricationism is mere kindergartners’ lies in the comparison.
Sally needs a waaambulance.
Soros and Obama’s islamoNazi conrades. Tons of filthy money behind the rise of the nazi movement. It can buy unlimited media, politicians, votes. , and armnaments. How would Satan do anything different? Every good Christian, catholic, Jew, and decent person of any persuasion must must now Stand up against these evil-doers and demand that our government office-holders switch back to the cause of the light. Or else they’ll just keep doing more and more damage to usa and the entire free world
It’s too late for mere moralism to do any good. The foundation — heartfelt faith in God — has become an endangered phenomenon.
How many people who complain about the absence of God among us are looking as hard at themselves as at their faithless neighbors? You can’t share a gospel you never embraced.
“Dems and Media being hand-fed their talking points by MediaMatters/OrganizingForAmerica”
Huh? You are feeding their talking points here.
TPM = Talking Points Memo, which is the propaganda arm of the Demonrat party. They send out daily ‘talking points’ to all their fellow moonbats so they all say they same things on every issue.
NOTHING on TPM will ever be anything but liberal lies, THAT is their only function.
I have 3 good reasons for not watching the speech myself:
1. Reading about it on FR might be more fun.
2. Reading about it on FR might be more fun.
3. Reading about it on FR might be more fun.
Other than that, I can’t think of any other good reasons. It certainly will be historic in the sense that nothing like it has ever come along that seems to aggravate Obama and the Libs at the high levels that we are witnessing daily.
Who CARES what some ranting leftie teabag-munching bull dyke thinks!!?
GEEZ!
As if that's a bad thing!
Iranians = Jerrett’s people.
They tried to stop him coming and it did nto work.
They tried to shut him up but it has not worked.
They now are boycotting him but he will stll talk to millions.
What is fairy boy and Biden doing?
Well they and the black caucus and other extremists{they like that word} are staying away and fairy boy won’t watch the speech the white house said.
Well all bozo is doing is acting like a little child who has not got their way and now are throwing the doll out of the carriage.
GROW FRIGGING UP OBAMA and you extremist left wing nuts.
I just love these satire articles.
He is a kid acting out because he could not stop this speech and could make some Dems do sanctions on his new friend.
GROW UP OBAMA, just grow the hell up and start acting not like a college kid but a man who has grown up.
What a sad daddy-less wimp.
Kerry’s ‘negotiations’ with Iran have totally failed.
Obama wants Bibi to give his speech so that he can blame the failure on Bibi’s speech.
That is why the media keeps saying that if Bibi talks, the ‘negotiations’ will fail. They already have, and they want to blame something,anything else. Bibi is it.
Well if Bibi can get them to quit trying to believe Iran is just a bunch of poor misunderstood souls, he has done some good.
Well, make that the leaders of Iran. A lot of Iranian citizens hate where their government is going, but can do little or nothing to stop it.
understood.
but its still hard to fathom what went wrong in USA, given we have more pastors priests ministers reverends bishops elders rabbis and deacons ... and churches.... than almost anywhere on earth.
and radio and televangelists galore (some quite good and Biblical)
somehow the train seems to have gone off the rails...

11 AM EST is when he will speak
For a transaction to take place there has to be a willing seller and a willing buyer.
Both get vitiated by philosophies of pride.
