| White House mulling ways to undercut Netanyahu speech |
| 2015-02-21 |
| [IsraelTimes] Administration considering media blitz, political snubs as part of its diplomatic war with Jerusalem over PM's address to Congress In what is becoming an increasingly nasty grudge match, the White House is weighing actions to undermine Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's upcoming trip to Washington and blunt his message that a potential nuclear deal with Iran is bad for Israel and the world. There are limits. Administration officials have discarded the idea of President Barack Obama |

| #12 In an Obama-sort of way, Mr. Obama is playing this pretty well. 1. On the one hand, he is publicly and quite unabashedly displaying true animus towards Israel's "Proxy," Mr. Netanyahu. 2. On the other, he has alienated most of our pre-Obama era allies and has let the world see what kind of "combined forces" we can now assemble. Save U.S. Conservatives, Israel is on her own, and she knows it. I believe Mr. Netanyahu is going to give it one last swing when he comes to town. Assuming he goes home unable to persuasively make his case to majorities in the houses, I would expect to see, in a few short weeks, some impressively glowing real estate say, 1,150 miles ENE of Jerusalem. I sincerely hope our military has maintained backchannels to keep things together until this piece of work departs the office. |

| #11 Consider the juvenile way obumbles is handling this with the way Bush handled things like Queen Nancy visiting Syria and other terrorist supporting organizations when she undercut him by trying to negociate with our enemies. (Apologies to all juveniles out there...) |

| #8 Probably go to Defcon-1, fire up Conelrad and explain it was a drill to thwart the VE (violent extremists) then claim Bush set up the drill in 2003 and his hands were tied. |

| #2 This administration has become more petty, irresponsible, outrageous as their days in office dwindle. Frankly, the more I read about Netanyahu pending speech, the more interest I've become in hearing what he has to say to the joint session of Congress. I hope he rises to the level of Churchill in his address to Congress in December 26, 1941 and address concretely the issue of the Global Islamic menace. |

| #1 for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, WH Press Release? For someone who claims to want to lead from behind, seems rather egocentric doesn't it? |
