Netanyahu's May 2011 speech to Congress was such a triumph was that the cheers and the dozens of standing ovations he received were bipartisan. It was a humiliation for Obama, who never before and never since has been given such a reception in the Congress, because the thunderous applause demonstrated that the pro-Israel coalition was genuinely bipartisan.

The cheers from both sides of the aisle were a sign that both congressional parties rejected Obama’s ambush of Netanyahu on that trip and backed the Israeli’s stand.

The current White House manipulative narrative around the Benjamin Netanyahu speech is entirely the result of Team Obama’s pride, ego and anger about the way Netanyahu was received during his May 24th 2011 speech:

Back in 2011 President Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Denis McDonough et al. were furious at how well received Netanyahu’s speech was amid a bipartisan congress. Obama himself has never had such a warm reception and rousing applause.

Yes, this four year grudge is a big part of the reason for the White House constructing an entire operation to discredit Netanyahu this time around…..

The White House is so desperate they are now playing the race card against Netanyahu and Boehner.

By injecting the non sequitur of race into this mess, Obama seems to be employing the sort of tactics we’d expect from his friend, race hustler Al Sharpton, not the leader of the free world
