Liberal Democrats ask Boehner to postpone Netanyahu address

[PoliticAverse]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Almost two dozen liberal Democrats on Thursday asked House Speaker John Boehner to postpone Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to a joint meeting of Congress next month.

"It appears that you are using a foreign leader as a political tool against the President," the lawmakers wrote in a letter to Boehner.

Netanyahu's speech is controversial because it comes as the Obama administration is negotiating with Iran over that country's nuclear program — negotiations that Netanyahu says could put Israel at risk. The speech is also set just two weeks before Netanyahu faces voters at home for re-election.

1. "Postpone" is the best they can come up with?

And it doesn't simply appear that Boner is using a foreign leader as a political tool against the President, that is exactly what he is doing. They should not be asking for anything, they should be demanding is the immediate arrest of Boner on charges of sedition if not outright treason.

Just imagine the hissy fit that would have erupted throughout the media in 2007 had Nancy Pelosi invited Ahmadinejad to address congress.
