Remember 2007 when Pelosi and the Democrats undermined WH and went to Damascus? Elections have consequences and paybacks are hell.

No, he pretends to forget about that.

"It was putting Netanyahu on an equal level with the president of the United States," said Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn. "And that was wrong."

Of course it was wrong. The fool on the hill is nowhere near to the level of a REAL head-of-state like Netanyahu. He makes Obama look like a silly little boy, struggling to tie his shoelaces. On foreign policy, compared to Netanyahu, Obama is just being born.

Glad I read through the entire thread. I was going to pull that quote as well.

Goes to show how thin skinned and small this president and his followers are. He can't run with the big boys and therefore in order to maintain obie is the smartest man in the room the room has to be empty. If anyone of substance is there he shrinks into thee corner and can't hold his own. The Iranians know this as well and are using it to their advantage.

I agree Yeah it is desperation to resort to net surfing pics and lies and then post them as facts.

Wow, that didn't sound to me like anything you are trying to sell. That sounded like a well grounded competent leader with a solid focus on what needed done and how to get it done.

Pelosi, Democrats furious over Netanyahu 'condescension'

WASHINGTON — House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi politely stood and clapped when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu entered the House chamber for his long-awaited, and highly controversial, speech to Congress. The longer he spoke, the less enthusiastic she got.

At one point, when Netanyahu suggested his nation's relationship with the United States should be above politics, Pelosi looked at her lap and shook her head. When he declared that, "if Israel has to stand alone, Israel will stand," Pelosi threw her hands up in exasperation. More than once, she turned to her deputy, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, and appeared to vent. And even before Netanyahu had begun his ascent up the center aisle toward the exit, Pelosi pivoted and headed out a different door and into the Democratic cloakroom.

"I was near tears throughout the prime minister's speech — saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States," she fumed in a statement afterward, adding that she didn't appreciate "the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation."

Pelosi's was the highest-profile sign that Netanyahu had inflamed his relationship with some congressional Democrats with his address to Congress, a 39-minute warning that Obama's negotiations on limiting Iran's nuclear capability would all but guarantee that Tehran gets nuclear weapons. Even as he spoke, the Obama administration pressed on with those talks, and the president dismissed Netanyahu's speech by noting that "foreign policy runs through the executive branch and the president, not through other channels."

More than four dozen Democrats skipped the speech altogether, offended by an array of developments before they even got to the policy substance of the speech itself.

"It was putting Netanyahu on an equal level with the president of the United States," said Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn. "And that was wrong."

But Cohen and 11 other House Democrats later expounded on their multiple frustrations with the speech, including the substance. His statement about Israel standing alone particularly chafed.

"I think that's delusional," said Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., who skipped the speech. "The notion somehow that he thinks that Israel can just bull through this on their own against the world ... Israelis don't believe that."

"What I heard today felt to me like an effort to stampede the United States into war once again," said Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., who also skipped the speech.

Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., said the speech was "straight out of the Dick Cheney playbook — fearmongering at its worst."

Three words for the Democrats.

Get. Over. It.
