to publicize their open hostility toward Obama. By inviting the Prime Minister of Israel who also opposes Obama, and allowing him to taunt and disrespect our president from the lofty chambers our government and criticize America's crucial foreign policy efforts to avert yet another ME crisis, those same traitous Republicans have sided with a foreign power against America.

is no doubt in my mind that as stupid as the American public is, they do not want us to engage in another war in the middle east

Most people also do not appreciate a foreign power speaking before Congress trying to derail negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.

In Israel, even those who believe Iran should not have nuclear weapons, are very vocal against Netanyahu's tactics. In a similar vein he tried to inject himself in American elections in 2012. That didn't work out too well for him, and with the Israeli elections coming up, it might just tip the scale against him

A foreign leader completely bypassing usual protocol campaigning against our efforts in our own Congress. If the Democrats had done this while a R in office, there would be investigations galore.

I can't stand it! How does America look to the world when the majority political party stands with a foreign country over their own? The damages are going to spiral outward from this Kabuki Theater fiasco in ways that we can't even expect.

a foreigner bearing lies.

How can this Bibi boot licking by the fascist GOP not go unnoticed, in America, in the world, in Iran?

Only the occupant of the WH stands in the way of The Rapture, a Biblical vision shared also by....ISIS.

but Obama is both a Democrat and our first black President. Double whammy there. Oh! ... and not to forget, our predominately lily-white Republican party members couldn't begin to keep up with Obama in the intelligence department.

A party of obsequious, subservient (to the 1 percenters) worthless excuses for (sub)humanity.

Completely humiliating that it would be allowed.

And how many Dems have I heard say what a "nice guy" he is (Boehner) I want to scream - it goes on every night on the news. I bet Obama and Kerry have steam coming out of their ears.
