SNUB: Obama won't meet Netanyahu

[Lakhota]

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will not meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he travels to Washington in March, the White House said Thursday, one day after being caught off-guard by Republicans' invitation for the Israeli leader to address a joint session of Congress.

Spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said that in keeping with "long-standing practice and principle," the president does not meet with heads of state or candidates in close proximity to their elections.

"Accordingly, the president will not be meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu because of the proximity to the Israeli election, which is just two weeks after his planned address to the U.S. Congress," Meehan said.

Is the problem that Obama refuses to meet with Netanyahu?

Or is he just trying to hide Netanyahu's refusal to meet with him?

I'd be willing to bet that it's Netanyahu who won't meet with the Lying Cocksucker in Chief

Why would a brave man want to meet a sniveling coward?

On that same note:

WH: Screw The Constitution, We Don’t Need The Senate To Approve Any Treaty Obama Makes With Iran…

Claiming it falls under Obama’s “executive prerogative.”

Via WSJ:

The Obama administration collided with Congress Wednesday over Iran sanctions, and both sides were girding for a brawl that appeared likely to stretch through the year.

Lawmakers from both parties vowed at a Senate hearing to press ahead with legislative plans for new punitive measures—over President Barack Obama ’s veto warnings. Top administration officials, meanwhile, disclosed at the hearing that the international talks over Iran’s nuclear program may extend beyond an end-of-June deadline. That would be the third such extension. […]

Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the White House doesn’t view an agreement with Iran as a treaty that requires Senate approval, but a matter of “executive prerogative.”

Jim Geraghty points out the section of the Constitution, Obama is going to trample this time:

Article II, Section 2, clause 2, U.S. Constitution:

[The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur.

dimocraps are such clueless scumbags

That's exactly what it takes to even EXIST in that godforsaken middle east when you're the ONLY Jewish country around ...RE-ESTABLISHED there in 1948 by the United Nations AFTER about 5,000 years of being in exile. Those fucking Muslims don't want them there...but screw them.

Why did Boehnner invite Netanyahu? He is overstepping his authority. The Speaker of the House does not conduct foreign policy.

Congress doesn't answer to the piece of shit we have infecting the White House.

They can invite anybody they want to invite and the Lying Piece of Shit in Chief can suck on it

 

[blackhawk]

Hardly a surprise Obama has not made his feeling towards Israel or it's leader any secret.

 

[paulitician]

Time for people to wake up and realize Communists/Progressives are no friend to Jews. They despise Israel. They're the driving force behind the rapid rise of Antisemitism in Western Europe and the U.S. It's shameful so many American Jews still support the Democratic Party. It is fair to call them Uncle Toms at this point.

Seems the voters of Israel disagree and what you think doesn't count.

The President isn't supposed to legislate either but that hasn't stopped Obama.

Somebody inside the beltway has to make some adult decisions while the Boob is ignoring Iran's dangerous plans.

 

[Desperado]

Just when Obama gets to the point that I doubt he can do anything for the betterment of the United States, he turns around and does the right thing.

It's the fashionable leftie thing to do. They all hate Jews. They gussie their hate up fashionably and call it "anti-Zionism." But in no way do I excuse left-wing Jews who themselves who have spent years in the industry internecine race baiting & hatred in our own country. The monster they created is come back to smite them.

 

[S.J.]

This is the most immature president we have ever had. He has acted like a fucking spoiled child the whole time he has defiled the office. He is the biggest mistake in the history of the United States.

 

[ClosedCaption]

Every righties post in this thread says "liberals think" followed by some lame brained bullshit. Not one of them ever say what they believe or why Obama SHOULD meet with him.

They're too busy making up "liberals think" stories
