Philadelphia – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi is still peeved over Republicans’ decision to ask the leader of Israel — an archenemy of Iran — to address Congress in March right in the middle of delicate negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear program.

Asked if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be well-advised to speak somewhere other than a joint meeting of Congress, Pelosi said Friday in Philadelphia that “the opportunities are great,” and noted he often appears on U.S. Sunday talk shows.
Netanyahu has been calling leading Democrats, including Pelosi, in hopes of blunting their opposition to the invitation he got from House Speaker John Boehner to address Congress March 3.
Asked if most House Democrats would attend a Netanyahu speech to Congress, Pelosi said: “I don’t know.”
Netanyahu really messed up with this one. He can’t expect to ruffle Obama and almost half of congress and come out standing. Bad for Israel and bad for Jews
I hope once Obama and Netanyahu are gone US Israel relations can start to renormalize, or is the damage too great?
The relationship between the American and Israeli people are quite strong. Sure Bibi is screwing up, and sure Israel will pay some sort of price. In the long run I cannot imagine this mattering much.
What’s wrong with ruffling Obummer? All he’s done is ruffle us since coming to power to bring “fundamental change” to America. (Read that as eviscerate the Constitution.)

Natenyahu is either a lowlife idiot by his actions or he’s a real hero By identifying a existential threat and is ready to do EVERYTHING to save the Jewish state
