I hate that Boehner invited Netanyahu - but there's a silver lining

29. How can he "make Hell rain down" on Netanyahu,

without demonstrably changing US policy on Israel, a political nonstarter (despite the wishes of many on DU) for the Democratic Party, including presidential hopefuls like Clinton, Biden, Cuomo and even Bernie Sanders?

I'm reminded about the time early in the relationship between Bibi and Obama, when the president intentionally snubbed Netanyahu and make him wait a long time to meet because the president was displeased about Bibi's criticism of Obama's Mideast policy. That minor event caused such a ruckus, that Obama had to publicly treat Bibi like royalty on his next visit. No that much has changed.

I would also note that Obama is still suffering criticism concerning his failure to attend the solidarity march in France against Islamic terrorism and antisemitism, and he now intends to visit Saudi Arabia to personally extend his condolences on the death of an Arab Islamic theocratic dictator. Making too much of a production snubbing the Jewish prime minister of a democratic and strongly pro-American state in the Middle East is not what the White House or Democrats really want to discuss.

Obama does not want to "rain hell" on Netanyahu. He wants to the entire mess to just go away.
