OBAMA manufactured Netanyahu speech spat
 
Is anyone surprised at this....

"President Barack Obama and his minions in the White House and the press have had a lot to say about how ‘disrespectful’ it was for Congress to invite Israeli PM Benyamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of congress without informing the White House. And how wrong it was for Netanyahu to accept when he knew the White House hadn’t been informed.

Breaking: NYT Admits Obama Deliberately Manufactured Netanyahu Spat | Rob Miller | The Blogs | The Times of Israel

THIS IS THE ACTUAL CORRECTION IN THE NEW YORK TIMES THAT NOBODY SEEMS TO WANT TO TALK ABOUT....

"Correction: January 30, 2015
An earlier version of this article misstated when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel accepted Speaker John A. Boehner’s invitation to address Congress. He accepted after the administration had been informed of the invitation, not before."


This is the link to the Times article and the correction is at the bottom of the page...

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/30/us...s&emc=rss&_r=5

More from the first link to the Times of Israel....

"Of course, the truth is that the White House was never bypassed or circumvented. Netanyahu only accepted Speaker John Boehner’s invitation after he knew the White House had been informed and had a chance to object.

And if the Obama White House had some objection and had actually communicated it to Netanyahu, do you think that just maybe, he might have made decision not to accept the speaking invitation?

Instead, the Obama White House said nothing, and Netanyahu, whose country gets threatened with destruction by Iran about every other week decided to accept Boehner’s invitation to speak to congress and help provide an impetus for legislation on Iranian sanctions that’s in both Israel and America’s interest .



"So there was a precedent set then, and no reason for Boehner or Netanyahu to assume there was any problem when the White House didn’t respond with any objections this time.

The resulting fracas was simply kabuki outrage manufactured to create a negative impression that Israel had somehow ‘disrespected’ an American president. And of course, to assist Netanyahu’s political enemies in the coming election…where the Obama Administration has already sent a crack campaign team and millions in campaign funds for the same purpose. The shotgun wedding of Labor’s Yitzhak Herzog and Tzipi Livni lost no time in trying to spin this to show that ‘Netanyahu was destroying Israel’s relationship with the U.S.’

What kind of President of the United States does this and lies so blatantly ??

Guest 02-18-2015 08:03 AM

Brought to you by the same country that actually attacked us repeatedly in open waters in 1967. They are friends by expedience only.

"President Obama's administration has responded harshly to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's accepting an invitation to address the Congress two weeks before elections, saying he did so without first notifying the White House - but was it lying?

The fallout of the speech has led Obama and US Secretary of State John Kerry to say they won't meet with Netanyahu, and Vice President Joe Biden to boycott the speech, with the latest wrinkle being a reported White House initiative to talk Netanyahu out of the speech.

In making the accusations that Netanyahu is coming unannounced, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said typical protocol was for leaders to contact the White House before planning a visit, claiming the White House didn't learn of the invitation until just before House of Representatives Speaker Republican John Boehner publicly announced that he had offered the invitation and that Netanyahu had accepted it.

Likewise, State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki said "traditionally we would learn about plans of leaders…separately from…the Speaker," again insinuating that Netanyahu did not inform the White House of the visit.

However, David Bernstein writes in the Washington Post that a New York Times correction added to the original story on January 30 revealed that "an earlier version of this article misstated when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel accepted Speaker John A. Boehner’s invitation to address Congress. He accepted after the administration had been informed of the invitation, not before."

The correction has yet to lead to a retraction of the criticism on the part of the White House, and many are asking why the New York Times isn't publishing how it came to learn that the administration was in fact informed in advance and how that happened.

While the correction doesn't detail who informed the White House, it still means that the White House knew about the invitation ahead of Netanyahu's acceptance, and most likely, Netanyahu knew that the White House was informed when he accepted. Also, Obama apparently didn't oppose the idea after being informed, given that the invitation went ahead as planned. That being the case, Obama's criticism of an "unannounced visit" would be completely off base.


Did Obama Lie about Netanyahu Congress Invitation?

And tell me who might not be, ie friends of expedience ?

And also, please explain how whatever excuses the President of the United States of lying and allowing something to fester for political purposes.

How in the world can this man be trusted He accuses others of doing exactly what he is doing (interfering with the Israel election) while negotiating with a regime in Iran who professes LOUDLY that they want to destroy Israel and kill all Jews.

Guest 02-18-2015 08:18 AM

I have to wonder if he is anti-semetic and pro-Islamic?

I don't like his foolishness of late with the selfies, catering to the young kids. Especially when so many very serious issues are being ignored or mishandled.

He seems so retaliatory since the November elections. It is when a president is in disfavor that his true character and statesmanship shows the most. AND they all have been at one time or another. History is the best judge of their doings.

I am so disappointed these days in our president.

If you wish to begin a thread about the Liberty in 1967 and deal with facts, be my guest ON A DIFFERENT THREAD.

This thread is about our President deliberately beginning a squabble in this country where he lied about it....and being involved in the Israeli election while accusing others of doing this.

THIS IS NOT A SIMPLY POLITICAL SPAT...THIS IS DONE WHILE WE ARE NEGOTIATING WITH A COUNTRY WHO SWEARS AND VOWS TO DESTROY WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND WHOM THE PRESIDENT SEEMS TO BE FOND IN SO MANY WAYS.

How unfortunate that most people in this country will not be aware of this and will continue to believe the community organizer has been dissed by Israel. He certainly does know how to work things to his advantage - to hell with the rest of the county.

It is amazing. No big deal to the media. They simply stopped covering all the BIG BAD BOEHNER....poor Obama thing.

NY Times is losing a lot of credibility the last month or so in a desperate attempt to defend this WH.

I am of the opinion that this presidency will now begin to slowly dismantle. His arrogant, defiant tone since the election is going to do him in.

I don't think so. He is so self centered and arrogant he will continue to behave in the same manner regardless the fall out around him.
No different than he did after the mid-term elections.
There is not a single action this man takes that is not Obama centered.
Caring for and defending the USA and we the people? I give you the last 6++ years as proof these are NOT priorities.

Yes he gets a free ride from the media because it suits their agendas. These are some pretty saavy and smart executives....does anybody think they do what they do because they like Obama or that he offers them anything they could not get on their own? Not a chance. Yhey are taking advantage of facilitating their agendas and AVOIDING appearing to be against the black guy!!

Scolding, moderating, and yelling Good Morning Political Forum! (no disrespect to Robin Williams).

I think it is TOTV rules that require posters to stay on the subject of the thread. Many times they will interrupt conversations to insure you stay on topic..

No scolding, moderating or yelling.

Just "reminding" that the subject is the lying of the President in regards to this speech and that other discussions should take the form of a new thread.

Do you need directions to the rules of the forum ?? Or assistance in beginning a new thread ?
