All presidents think they are kings but only the Democrats are treated that way by the (predominantly Democrat) news media. If a Republican president had acted in this petty way, the aforementioned media would have been laughing at him and giving us all a civics lesson on the Constitution.Dick Stanleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-17098175757921225622015-04-02T00:06:06.725+03:002015-04-02T00:06:06.725+03:00He is not being petty, he is petty.

Speaker of the House John Boehner invited Netanyahu to speak to the Congress, which is a co-equal branch of the government and can invite anyone it wishes to speak to it. If the papier-mache pasha doesn't like that, tough; he's not in Congress and doesn't get a say in how it runs things, a lesson he should have learned when the Supreme Court told him that no, he didn't get to determine when the Senate was in session so he could appoint people to vacant government posts. The former junior senator from Illinois seems to have some difficulty realizing that inaugurations and coronations are not the same thing.Akakynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-15298421678059249292015-03-25T12:52:09.777+02:002015-03-25T12:52:09.777+02:00... the esophagus, I know.

Meaning in this case that your knowledge of US politics is much superior.<br /><br />Just to make it clear: the timing of Bibi's speech and the unseemly haste in its preparation, to my taste was dictated by his internal political pressures. However I can't in clear conscience blame Bibi for something he done out of belief, even if he would have risked his career and his standing with the POTUS in doing so. Much as my dislike of him guides me sometimes, he spoke truth to power, and at least this should be respected, not that we disagree on this point.SnoopyTheGoonhttp://simplyjews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-58812132517850572422015-03-24T19:42:58.359+02:002015-03-24T19:42:58.359+02:00True.

Threatening to withdraw support at the U.N. hurts Israel itself, and emboldens the Iranians and the PA (also Hamas). <br />The President is being petty, to the detriment of both Israel and the United States.<br /><br />StanStannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-77050760063069610552015-03-24T19:03:21.833+02:002015-03-24T19:03:21.833+02:00Snoop, I believe we agree on almost all of this an...Snoop, I believe we agree on almost all of this and related issues. I must dissent on one point: the appearance before Congress. Mind you, given what Netanyahu believes about Iran, as do I -- and I believe he sincerely does -- I think he was right to do it. Too much at stake for diplomatic niceties. However, I think it far too blinkered not to recognize what he did do. He interfered, in cooperation with a sitting president's domestic political foes, on a state occasion in defiance of that allied head of state's wishes, with that president's current major foreign policy initiative. It was an affront to the power and standing of an allied leader of a the most public kind possible. It was a choice, It had risk. It may yet pay off. But risks bear consequences. No president could or should allow such behavior by any foreign leader to go unpunished. He woudn't deserve the office if he did. What the punishment is, to whom and how it is administered, that is a different matter. But to think the act to have received to much focus -- to little in its aftermath, I believe -- is to see too much through one's disposition.the sad red earthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-87023896661138132182015-03-24T18:45:13.725+02:002015-03-24T18:45:13.725+02:00:):)peterthehungariannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-21446423582434873022015-03-24T18:00:31.616+02:002015-03-24T18:00:31.616+02:00Be my guest, but since my wife says the same about...Be my guest, but since my wife says the same about me, I doubt that this testimony will help you.SnoopyTheGoonhttp://simplyjews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-11500365395088591602015-03-24T17:33:45.965+02:002015-03-24T17:33:45.965+02:00Really?
