On Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of the State of Israel reset the agenda for the Western world in a speech before a joint session of Congress.
For weeks, the Obama administration has attempted to direct attention away from Netanyahu’s actual agenda – stopping the Iranian nuclear deal – and toward petty political maneuvering over permissions to speak and Democratic boycotts. All of that fell away in the wake of a clear, powerful, and emotional call by Netanyahu for the United States and Israel to stand united against the evil terror of Iran. Netanyahu opened by expressing his humility for the invite, calling Congress the “most important legislative body in the world.” He then apologized for the speech itself becoming controversial. “That was never my intention,” he stated. “I want to thank you, Democrats and Republicans, for your common support for Israel, year after year, decade after decade. I know that on whichever side of the aisle you sit, you stand with Israel.” Iran’s regime is as radical as ever. Its cries of Death to America, the same nation it calls the Great Satan, are as loud as ever. This shouldn’t be surprising…[Iran’s] ideology is rooted in militant Islam. That’s why this regime will always be an enemy of America.
View Quote Iran and ISIS are competing for the crown of militant Islam…Both want to impose a militant Islamic empire, first on the region, then on the entire world. They just disagree who will be the ruler of this empire. In this deadly game of thrones, there is no place for America or Israel…When it comes to Iran and ISIS, the enemy of your enemy is your enemy.
View Quote If the world powers aren’t willing to insist that Iran change its behavior before a deal is signed, at the very least, insist that Iran change its behavior before a deal expires. If Iran changes its behavior, the restrictions would be lifted. If Iran doesn’t change its behavior, the restrictions should not be lifted. If Iran wants to be treated like a normal country, let it act like a normal country.
View Quote Moses gave us a message that has steeled our resolve for thousands of years…Be strong and resolute, neither fear nor dread them. My friends, may Israel and America always stand together, strong and resolute, may we neither fear nor dread the challenges ahead, may we face the future with confidence, strength and hope. May God bless the state of Israel, and may God bless the United States of America.

Perhaps this will finally get Jewish donors to divest themselves of the Democratic party?

A couple of (D)a bashers at work were name calling the (R)'s about what a PR stunt this was, and how it was a dis to the Obamessiah.
Oddly enough, the bitching got very quiet when I referenced a news article from last month where the administration stated they wouldn't meet with the PM because they didn't want to be seen as endorsing a candidate before Israel's elections... |

The White House Fear of Netanyahu Is at Fevered Pitch….
Everyone following the political dynamics of this administration knows their ‘poker tell’, it’s brutally obvious. This administration shows their fear with the sheer rabidity of what they proclaim not to be doing. Today the White House, and every single senior official, is publically shouting about President Obama NOT going to watch the Benjamin Netanyahu speech to congress. A brutally transparent falsehood identified easily by the scope of the public protestations therein. In order to fully understand what is at stake one only needs to accept the empirical reality that “control is a reaction to fear”. The absence of control breeds a fear that reaches fevered pitches when the causation is about to take stage. This is the sentiment echoing through the halls of the marbled executive branch and the offices at Foggy Bottom tonight as the professional political class try and cope with their fear. But if control is the reaction to fear, and the lack of control stimulates a frenzied fear response, then what exactly is it that Team Obama fear so openly? As highlighted within this CNN presentation the answers are brutally obvious: The White House doesn’t fear Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu contradicting President Obama per se’, that aspect they can deal with around a principle of disparate interests. No, what the White House really fears is the exposure of their lies and falsehoods surrounding their claims of the actual construct of the Iranian deal itself. The White House fears that Benjamin Netanyahu might specifically expose the fact that President Obama and Secretary Kerry have willfully lied to congress, and by extension the American electorate. In a larger sense, this is EXACTLY the reason why Speaker Boehner has invited Netanyahu to speak. Boehner knows the deceptive talking points involved. With that in mind, last night (AIPAC) – Susan Rice began to construct the plausible deniability angle for the executive office with her presentation that “a bad deal is worse than no deal“. Rice even reiterated a point never stated before – that if a “bad deal” was the only option the White House would “walk away“. This new claim is a failsafe position to fall back upon if Netanyahu openly exposes the dark underbelly of the Obama Iranian objective. Barack Obama discusses IranRice doesn’t come by this Machiavellian maneuvering herself. These machinations are the result of Denis McDonough, Tony Blinkin, Ben Rhodes and Valerie Jarrett thinking though consequences and building escape hatches into the executive office strategy. The current escape hatch is framed around being able to blame Netanyahu if Obama and Kerry need to back down from the deal. The Administration has painted themselves into a corner because they have espoused ad infinitum that an Iranian deal is a “must have”. The Iranians have used this weak U.S. position to their advantage because they have accepted the reality this U.S. administration is committed to some kind of deal, no matter what. Ultimately Iran is just leveraging their best possible outcome from any deal itself. However, Netanyahu can be the escape hatch away from Obama’s painted corner. Yet, that escape route is dependent upon the scope of the delivery Netanyahu represents to Congress. Netanyahu understands this dynamic too, he’s too smart not to. Netanyahu knows Team Obama has deceived the U.S. electorate. The question becomes does Bibi want to expose the deception, possibly undermine his own domestic political position, yet provide the escape route that might ultimately benefit Israel. It is not difficult to see how this speech has wide ranging and consequential ramifications. You can bet we’ll be watching, and you can bet the White House will be too – regardless of their contrary protestations. http://theconservativetreehous...ed-pitch/#more-97388 |

I think what is going on here is that Obama wants to earn that Noble Peace Prize before he leaves office and he firmly believes that a deal with Iran even if it's not worth the paper it is printed on will get him that prize. He's probably right, and he sees anything trying to stop him from doing that as a personal affront.
To say that Obama is the most egotistical man to ever sit in the Oval Office is an understatement. This whole Iran thing has NOTHING to do with preventing them from having a nuclear weapon and everything to do with his own vanity. |

So, party members are avoiding something that can be seen as undermining their leader's approach on a matter? Color me surprised!

Everyone knows that if Obama could get away with GIVING a nuclear weapons to Iran he would do it. And the NORKS too. So instead he just does nothing and allows them develop them.
If I was Netinyahu (sp) I would throw in the Obama threatened to shoot down our planes bit. (even if completely fake) just to watch Obama's head EXPLODE trying to "prove the negative" (if it indeed is a negative. Which of course we don't know. The Isreali PM has too much class, but man that would be HILARIOUS. yeah he'll be watching this is a major insult to him there is no way he'll miss it, and even if he does WHO CARES. that's the point. |

Haaretz reporter Roi Arad revealed in an article in the Hebrew edition today [January 26] that the foreign funded organization, “One Voice”, is bankrolling the V-2015 campaign to defeat Binyamin Netanyahu’s national camp in the March 2015 Knesset Elections.
One indication of the generous financing is that it has now flown in a team of five American campaign experts (including Jeremy Bird, the Obama campaign’s national field director) who will run the campaign out of offices taking up the ground floor of a Tel Aviv office building. V-2015 is careful not to support a specific party – rather “just not Bibi”. As such, the foreign funds pouring into the campaign are not subject to Israel’s campaign finance laws. |

Secret Details about Iran talks?
The White House is uncertain what precise details may come out but aides spent Monday frantically mobilizing after Israeli officials said that the prime minister planned to disclose sensitive details of an agreement taking shape in talks between six world powers and Iran, which has entered a delicate final stage.
Concern and anger among American officials about the nature of what Netanyahu might expose heightened already roiling tensions between the two countries. Secretary of State John Kerry cautioned about the damage such revelations might have on the negotiations and President Barack Obama himself attacked Netanyahu's judgment. "The release of that information would betray the trust between our allies, and it certainly is inconsistent with the behavior of trusted allies," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday.
