117. We are having at it, across the country. Those Reps in Congress are OUR Reps not Bibi's

Sun Jan 25, 2015, 08:10 PM

Jan 2015

And they are hearing from their EMPLOYERS, the American people. Seems they need a reminder of which country they work for and that's exactly what they are being told.

Were the last visits cooked up in a foreign country and then secretly arranged without the knowledge of the President or SOS or Democrats, between foreign agents and right wing morons in Congress?

Is the President aware of the Pope's possible visit? I'm assuming he is or WE wouldn't know about it.

Undermining the POTUS in the course of his duty to the American people, simply was a step WAY too far, even for someone who tried to influence our ELECTIONS and was sent packing.

Bibi seems to underestimate the American people. I'm thinking maybe HE needs to hear from them also.

And his Ambassador, his co-conspirator, he also needs to hear from the American people.

We elected a president to what is best for the American people, and that is what he is doing re Iran.

If Netanyahu wants to go to war with Iran, he is free to do so, but not with OUR troops. I'm guessing from what I'm reading from Israel they are not anxious for war with Iran either.
