    Susan Rice told PBS Tuesday that Netanyahu’s decision to accept House Speaker John Boehner’s invitation has injected partisanship into bilateral relations. She called that “destructive of the fabric of the relationship.”

    Rice said the relationship has always been bipartisan, and needs to stay that way.

    Netanyahu is scheduled to give a speech to a joint session of Congress next week on Iran.

    In inviting Netanyahu, Republican leaders didn’t consult beforehand with the Obama administration, which the White House has called a breach of protocol.

    Netanyahu Tuesday turned down an invitation to meet privately with Senate Democrats, saying it “could compound the misperception of partisanship” surrounding his trip.

    Obama and Rice, themselves, are destructive to all of America.

    America is not their Race, Color or Culture.

    Let Obama and Rice, both go back to Kenya and join ISIS to destroy America as they wish.

    She’s a DAM liar !!! I spoke to numerous democratic officials privately and they all disagree with Obama. Iran is a world problem, not just an Israel problem. Iran is developing ICBM’s. They don’t need ICBM’s to hit Israel !!! The Saudi king begged Obama to destroy Iran’s nuclear program. During the Cold War with Russia the only reason it didn’t go Nuclear was MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) Iran and the radical Muslims don’t fear death, they worship it !!! So MAD no longer applies. Russia and the USA are fighting in Ukraine yet they are still on the same page regarding Iran. Russia is supporting all of the sanctions currently in place. Once Iran achieves Nuclear power every other Middle East country will have no choice but to start their own programs to ensure their own safety. Look what havoc ISIS is causing in the world with small arms, just imagine what they could do it they went nuclear !!!!

    Isn’t Congress bi-partisan? What ever happened to freedom of speech? Breach of protocol? Look at Obama’s policies-both foreign and domestic.

    Obama’s Aide Rice: Netanyahu Speech To US Congress Will Harm Ties With US

    Right. It will only harm ties with the US if Obama y”sh and his advisors want it to do harm. The babyish feature to the Obama method of governing is alarming, to put it mildly. I believe those who question whether Obama actually loves America, and whether he has any support for its closest ally, Israel.

    For those anti Obama who dream that under Jeb Bush or Hilary all will be fine and dandy. Its only the muslim Obama who hates the USA. Well lets see. Under George Bush senior there was lots of love between James Baker and Yitzhka Shamir? Bill Clinton loved Bibi? Who put Ehud Barak in office?

    Obama publicly slaps yhe Israeli Prime Minister in the face by leaving for dinner in the middle of a high level meeting. He accuses the Prime Minister of damaging the relationship.

    Obama campaigns heavily in 2008 against pettiness and divisiveness on Washington. He gets elected and promptly slams the door in the Republicans’ faces.

    He rants that Bush destabilized Iraq by taking down a dictator, and then he takes out the Libyan dictator.

    He calls the deadliest non state terror group junior varsity,

    The Orwellian speak goes on and and on.

    This chaleria Rice was widely known to be a Jew-hater way back when both she and her friend Barack were young. So if that’s all she had to say about Netanyahu, either she mellowed or she couldn’t find anything wrong with what he is doing. I would pay more attention to a fruit fly than to her.
