If you thought sending a letter to the Iranian Mullahs was bad, this could be worse

Obama doesn't own them, he's just a former client

He's also the President, who drones on about "free and fair elections" but takes part in influencing the elections of another sovereign state.

What part did he take?

And republican inviting Netanyahu here was what? Same damn thing...

 

[theDoctorisIn]

A former staffer. What's illegal about that?

If Benejamin Netanyahu's former campaign director had run an Anti-Obama campaign in the U.S. in 2012, the Progs would have had a collective stroke.

Why would we care?

I really don't understand what the issue is about this. Campaign staffers work for whoever will pay them. It's capitalism in action. Obama doesn't own them, he's just a former client

It's not surprising you don't care. Moral relativism-hypocrisy runs deep it does...yessss.

What the fuck do "morals" have to do with this?

Thank you for proving my point.

I didn't think sending the letter was bad. I did however think that the left have acted like complete imbeciles with their response to it.

Inviting a foreign leader to talk to the US congress attempting to derail talks between 2 other nations...and in process giving pat on the back to ALL republicans running for president soon.

Ah well, I guess I need to stop posting these kinds of threads, it kinda leaves half the forum speechless.

No....it leaves over half the forum numb..........out of boredom. If you were capable of starting threads that were meaningful and interesting.....you'd get more liberal participation. You aren't, however. That's not a jab at your ideology......it's a jab at your intellect.

Please post any evidence that President Obama has instructed anyone to do anything at all relating to the Israeli election. Has Obama even commented on that election in any way. Has he endorsed Netanyahu's opponent? DO YOU EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF NETANYAHU'S OPPONENT?

Why shouldn't those campaign operatives work for whoever they want?

He is part of the "Obama administration" is he not?

Everything.

From the article:

"A subsidiary of OneVoice is the Israel-based Victory 15 campaign, itself guided by top operatives of Obama’s White House runs, which seeks to “replace the government” of Israel."

These aren't just staffers, these are members of Obama's White House. The views of OneVoice are very much in line with Obama's views on the conflict.

They're doing what I would expect from the Most Ethical and Transparent Adminstration of Light Workers Ever!

If you can't see how unseemly this all is, then I feel sorry for you.

Big difference. Nobody invited the Obama Administration to influence Israel's election. Not in fact the "same damn thing." Far, far from it.

Did the "article" implicate President Obama in any way?

Let this sink in for a moment, you have 47 Senators sending a letter to the Iranian Mullahs letting them know any nuclear deal Obama strikes with them with have to go through the Senate. The backlash is enormous, thus making one wonder if the letter was even worth it (it was).

Now, imagine if you have an American presidential administration possibly attempting to influence the elections of another sovereign nation. This could be the case here, as the U.S. Senate investigatory committee is investigating claims that the Obama Administration is funding efforts to unseat Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in this year's Israeli presidential elections. Whoa. Back up. They are accusing the Obama administration of doing what?

Read for yourself:

A powerful U.S. Senate investigatory committee has launched a bipartisan probe into an American nonprofit’s funding of efforts to oust Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the Obama administration’s State Department gave the nonprofit taxpayer-funded grants, a source with knowledge of the panel's activities told FoxNews.com.

The fact that both Democratic and Republican sides of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations have signed off on the probe could be seen as a rebuke to President Obama, who has had a well-documented adversarial relationship with the Israeli leader.

The development comes as Netanyahu told Israel’s Channel Two television station this week that there were “governments” that wanted to help with the “Just Not Bibi” campaigning -- Bibi being the Israeli leader’s nickname.

It also follows a FoxNews.com report on claims the Obama administration has been meddling in the Israeli election on behalf of groups hostile to Netanyahu. A spokesperson for Sen. Rob Portman, Ohio Republican and chairman of the committee, declined comment, and aides to ranking Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, of Missouri, did not immediately return calls.

The Senate subcommittee, which has subpoena power, is the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs’ chief investigative body with jurisdiction over all branches of government operations and compliance with laws.

“The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations does not comment on ongoing investigations,” Portman spokeswoman Caitlin Conant told Foxnews.com.

But a source familiar with the matter confirmed for FoxNews.com that the probe -- undisclosed until now -- was both underway and bipartisan in nature.

Seems like it is the Republicans trying to influence the Israeli elections

Obama wisely stayed out of it
