Boehner the morning after President Obama's State of the Union address chose to announce the Visit of Netanyahu =bypassing rudely the office of the Presidency in doing so. At the state of the Union address, there was energy, a glow if not overwhelming praise for the fact that the President came out. He had more spunk, more confidence and determination not less-after the GOP win in the mid-term election. What election, oh yeah- that happened: The dog caught the car election. The President listed in that State of the Union address all the things his administration fulfilled from the promises he made when elected, both times. Impressive and never fully embodied by the Democrats running for office in 2014-to their loss.
But with that invite to Netanyah to address congress that Boehner announced the day after the SOU, all eyes turned to Israel. On the day of Israel's Prime Minister address to congress, Boehner and friends brought in Homeland Security. Just what will come next may be the same play: we're watching you Mr Speaker of the House. This could get old. Can the GOP do some new tricks is the question.
