Netanyahu basks in Congress invitation, but may shake U.S. ties

[buddhallah_the_christ]

Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to accept an invitation to address the U.S. Congress just days before Israel's parliamentary election offers him invaluable pre-vote publicity, but may also have shaken the balance of U.S.-Israel ties.John Boehner, the Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, issued the invitation without consulting the White House, a breach of protocol since it is normally up to a head of state to invite a foreign leader.
It also does not appear that Netanyahu, a right-winger who has a testy relationship with Barack Obama, let the president know about the invitation before accepting it, underscoring their increasingly tense ties.

Well it seems this is going to be a big campaign stop for Netanyahu. It also seems that the GOP might is going to use this to stress their case for more sanctions and possible force against Iran and their nuclear programs. This is also a very rare invitation because it came from congress and not from the President and the President was not notified of this invitation.
Thoughts?

Obama can act unilaterally so why not Congress??

Yes, it can. But don't you think that they (the president and congress) have to play in one team? Maybe this team should be named "People who want to develop America but not ruin it"? Don't you think so?

Netanyahu isn't shaking U.S. ties.

Obama is doing that, by treating Netanyahu like dirt, bringing him in the back door of the White House, keeping him waiting for an hour with an underling, not seeing him at all when he could easily have, etc.

If Obama would stop acting like a petulant schoolyard brat, U.S. ties with Israel would be as strong as ever, not "shaken".

Should we really be going hard after Iran right now when they are fighting ISIS?

 

[Mr. H.]

The Jew cometh. Via the back door. Fear not for he shall only ring twice.

One Jew, one U.S. President. Who's running scared here?

Obama is no American. He never was and never will be.

Fuck that non-vetted Semi-Negro Communist Liberal Muslim.

Why should we talk to Netanyahu about coming to an agreement with Iran? Because he has done such a great job with the Palestinians? No thank you.

I guess most of America must be Jew haters seeing a Jew has never been elected to POTUS.

Boehner likes Netanyahu because he's a Right Winger and a hawk ... nothing more.

Damn I wish we could trade Obama for Netanyahu. I'm sure Israel has a shoe shine kiosk somewhere in Tel Aviv that'd keep Bammy busy...if the lazy bastard ever felt like putting in a day's work.

Well you haven't elected a Jewish president yet, there must be some message in that.

Did it ever occur to you that the Lying African already shook ties with Israel through repeated snubbing of the Israeli prime minister and supporting all the enemies of Israel?

 

[cnm]

How can Obama dare expect any return from Israel beyond having the US used as a big stick?

The President has set the mo. The wish list is discordant with the reality. If one says "being on the one team" means the pubbies have to do what they believe is wrong for America then....no deal!!
