It's called protocol and class--none of which Boehner has. This is a childish, stupid, rude, crass and dumb move. Poor little Boehner was angry because Obama isn't kowtowing to the Boehner BS. So Boehner thinks he can screw Iran by inviting Netanyahu to speak to Congress and bypass the POTUS?

Boehner & co. will end up looking like the immature boors they are. Not only that, but they are now setting a precedent for the opposition party to ignore the WH in the future. It is truly repulsive. Thank you House GOP for lowering the bar for the future.

A nuclear Syria or Iraq is no threat to the United States.

Iran is ZERO threat to this country....with or without nukes.

I don't doubt that you are correct about Boehner going around Obama and his Decrees - Obama is not King of the USA and he can't just tell Congress they are not allowed to pass Legislation he disagrees with. The Iranian 'negotiations' are a mess, those that are paying attention are fully aware of that.
It's clearly not just Boehner and Republicans that are upset about the O-Decree - Many Democrats don't like it either.

Thing is .... it will work, just as it worked the first time Boehner did it. Obama fell all over himself to back down on his "War against Netanyahu". Obama sent Valerie Jarrett out to try and mend fences, he gave Israel the Iron Dome. TeamObama was humiliated by the 29 Standing Ovations for Netanyahu in the Joint Congressional speech that Netanyahu received after Obama's unforgivable rudeness to an Ally.

I don't ever enjoy seeing our humiliation on display to the world, but I also cringe every time Obama pulls one of his Bone-Headed stunts that embarrass this Nation ...... like not sending ANYONE to the Paris Rally when leaders from all over the World were there. The famous "Red Line" with Syria that was such an Embarrassment. There is no need for this StompyFoot temper tantrum and all his VETO talk.

I don't think the Gruber'd want to get into the conversation about Obama and "class" or protocols.

It does make Boehner look kinda petty. Although on the other hand, you could consider it as Netanyahu just addressing his "employees" (since Israel already 'owns' most of Congress anyway)!

Because the United States does not have to worry about this issue, thanks to Israel once again.

Educate yourself about Hezzbollah and Irans sponsorship of terrorism. You have no understanding of the world around you.

Right, because Netanyahu has to try to convince congress about Iran while paradoxly holds supreme influence over the body its controls..

Got to love the IhateIsrael stronk crew

1) We never did need to worry about the issue because they were never a threat to us.

3) Hezbollah is nowhere to be found on the American continent and wouldn't be a threat to us in the Middle East if we weren't over there meddling in Arab affairs.

Two strikes.
