Madame Speaker Pelosi (D) lambasts Smokey for Bibi invite

[Dot Com]

They have the right to do so.
Dems need to get over it. They are not longer running things.
They are acting like spoiled children who are not getting their way.

Repubs in Congress are "acting like spoiled children who are not getting their way." The Executive, State department, and ambassadors recieve foreign dignitaries Sugar Shorts

Yes to receive them but that is not what this is about.
Congress has the power to regulate commerce not only among the several states but also with “foreign nations.”

This is one of the powers Congress can use to establish (or end) trade sanctions against Iran, which is what Congress wants to hear from Netanyahu about.
Congress has plenty of authority to bring in Netanyahu — or anyone else — to talk about Iran. It doesn’t have to say so much as “boo” to the White House.
Get over it.

oh thats right. They're trying to screw over the negotiations before they have a chance to work. Silly me.

From the SOTU Address:

Our diplomacy is at work with respect to Iran, where, for the first time in a decade, we’ve halted the progress of its nuclear program and reduced its stockpile of nuclear material. Between now and this spring, we have a chance to negotiate a comprehensive agreement that prevents a nuclear-armed Iran; secures America and our allies — including Israel; while avoiding yet another Middle East conflict. There are no guarantees that negotiations will succeed, and I keep all options on the table to prevent a nuclear Iran. But new sanctions passed by this Congress, at this moment in time, will all but guarantee that diplomacy fails — alienating America from its allies; and ensuring that Iran starts up its nuclear program again. It doesn’t make sense. That is why I will veto any new sanctions bill that threatens to undo this progress. The American people expect us to only go to war as a last resort, and I intend to stay true to that wisdom

Negotiations with Iran has never worked.
It didn't work under Carter and it won't work now.
Should Iran get a pass on explaining its nuclear past

maybve you can lead the charge. Which branch of the military are you in Princess? Put it on YOUR credit card as well.

Sanctions has worked.

The Speaker of the House, being second in line for the President's position should the Pres and the VP become disabled certainly has the right to invite anyone he or she wants to speak to the House. Inviting a dignitary to speak in the House without knowledge of the President is certainly not equivalent to the Speaker visiting a foreign nation against the wishes of the President...which is what Pelosi did in April 2007 when she went to Syria for a meeting with Despot/ President Bashar al-Assad, ignoring the very public objections of the Bush Administration.

Hey, Nancy! Y'all LOST THE ELECTION! GET OVER IT!

Forget that Nancy Pelosi said anything about it. How about James Baker?

The former US secretary of state, James Baker, has sharply criticised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned visit to Washington to speak before Congress, Israel'sMaariv newspaper has reported.

Baker, who served as secretary of state during the rule of former US president George W. Bush said that, "if Netanyahu took the initiative to be invited to speak before the Congress without coordinating with the White House, then it is a flagrant violation of the protocol."

Speaking during an interview with CBS's "Face the Nation", Baker noted: "I can't remember an instance in which it's been done", stressing that "this could cost Netanyahu dearly on Election Day."

You know...unprecedented gets used a lot with this president. What's different about him I wonder?​

Former Speaker Pelosi sharply rebuked Boehner (R) AKA- "Smokey for conducting foreign policy to make cheap political points with his rw base.

Pelosi Blasts Boehner for Go-It-Alone Netanyahu Invite - NBC News
(snip)

"It's out of the ordinary that the Speaker would decide that he would be inviting people to a joint session without any bipartisan consultation" Pelosi told reporters at her weekly press conference.


Pelosi noted that when she served as Speaker of the House, leaders of both parties and the White House were made aware when heads of state would be addressing Congress.

She also suggested that it is not "appropriate" for Netanhayu to come to the United States shortly before his own re-election.

"This presentation will take place within two weeks of the election in Israel," she said. "I don't think that's appropriate for any country, that the head of state would come here within two weeks of his own election in his own country."

You go girl!!! [/QUO
