Respond to White House Telling Congressional Black Caucus Netanyahu Speech Is Racism Against Obama, So Don’t Attend… February 10, 2015 by sundance theconservativetreehouse.com 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: 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. 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 Netanyahu thinks waiting until later in the spring to speak would be too late. With reports surfacing that the president has sought to persuade the Congressional Black Caucus to boycott his speech , the willingness of the administration sink so low as to play the race card against Israel illustrates that it no longer matters how right Netanyahu might be.The reports about the White House signaling the Black Caucus that the speech should be seen as a domestic political issue rather than one about a difference of opinion over foreign policy is particularly ominou s.But if African-American politicians and even ordinary citizens are being told that Netanyahu’s appearance at a joint session is motivated out of disrespect to the first black president of the United States rather than a belief that the administration’s opposition to more sanctions on Iran is bad policy, then the problem Israel is facing is far worse than even some of the prime minister’s critics had thought. 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.
