Democrats rally around Obama amid furore over Netanyahu Congress visit
Source: The Guardian
The White House is growing more confident it can withstand efforts to frustrate its policy of nuclear talks with Iran, as a furore over the intervention of the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, appears to be encouraging wavering Democrats to rally around their president.
In the first White House press conference since the Republican House speaker, John Boehner, sparked controversy by inviting Netanyahu to speak before a joint session of Congress amid calls for a tougher approach to Iran, administration officials claimed there was support for their argument that planned legislation authorising new sanctions, if talks fail, would be counter-productive.

Earnest refused to speculate on a likely vote count, but sympathetic lobbyists in touch with Democratic congressmen claim the polarising impact of Boehner’s invitation to Netanyahu is making it harder for Republicans to reach a veto-proof majority for the sanctions bill.
“This move by Netanyahu has definitely backfired in terms of Democrats,†said Dylan Williams, director of government affairs at J-Street, a Washington lobby group which describes itself as pro-Israel but supports a two-state peace process for a Palestinian state.
J-Street sent out a letter to its US supporters on Friday, urging them to warn their congressmen not to support the visit, which will fall just two weeks before elections in Israel.
“This invitation looks like a thinly veiled attempt to scuttle the critical negotiations taking place right now aimed at ensuring that Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon,†said the letter. “Bibi and Obama disagree on how to deal with Iran, and that’s fair. But a foreign leader lobbying Congress is inappropriate.â€

DUmmies would swear it was high noon if it were pitch black out. They are an arrogant but ignorant lot.
My vote for most ignorant comment:

8. The people of Israel need to understand
that Netanyahu is playing politics with their lives. His intrusion into our internal affairs will generate animosity toward Israel from Democrats and progressives.
It is time for Bibi to look at his own backyard and resolve the issues he is in many ways responsible for creating. I, as one American, am sick and tired of seeing my tax money used to provide weapons used for killing innocent people living under what can only be described as apartheid conditions
It should hurt to be this stupid.

I doubt this DUmmie pays any taxes, but his point is valid. It's sickening that Obama continues to support the Palestinian government that funds Hamas and Hamas attacks innocent Israelis.

Generate? You cannot generate what already exists, you ignorant dupe.

I've given up trying to understand it. I've read a number of good internet articles try to explain it, but it still doesn't make sense to me. The best I have been able to take away from them is: The Jewish left are dyed-in-the-wool FDR New Dealers that nothing will sway and that the current, radically abhorrent version of progressivism traces it's roots directly to the original Communists, who were almost all Jewish.

..and that's exactly right. You cannot reason, unless you completely revise and/or ignore the rather recent history of the region, and come up with the (D)Ummie position.
Which explains it completely. :mental:

This administration of touchy-feely would love to do that, but Congress would flip out, and most of the (D)emocrats, also.

Teh Messiah has a pen & a phone ( I could see him giving up the Keystone Ghost , caving on Securing the Border ( and "Really" Securing it) ( stepping back from the ACA) and allowing deportations & ICE/BP to actually do their jobs ... IF Congress approves putting serious pressure on Israel (The Tiny Jewish State) with Sanctions or Divestment...

Congress has the power to force Barry to do what needs to be done, what should be done.
Republicans in Congress, however, lack the balls to do it.

I'll bet nearly every elected democrat will be there and be respectful...
Reason? Jewish votes and Jewish Money. Too important to dismiss.

Obama started this mess when he had David Cameron make phone calls to Senators and ask them to vote against sanctions.
Goose, gander?

You mean the hooked nose Shylocks who are the 1%?? Gee, where have we heard this theme before? Oh yeah, Elizabethan and Jacobean plays and literature are full of it, populism of the age, which morphed into full blown lunacy with Hitler and the Muzzies.
