the right response is not on there
Obama is right, the speech/visit at this time is clearly breaking protocol. . to add to that, can u imagine if a foreign leader had done this when GW Bush was in office, and it was Nancy Pelosi who invited the foreign leader to speak with zero consult with the whitehouse?

One doesn't raise "protocol" unless they follow "protocol."

Kerry runs around the world talking deals for other people all the time, elections or no elections.
Congress is tasked with approving authority for international deals either by providing authority and guidelines before hand or approving them later. I want the representatives there voting for me on this matters to hear all information and povs available to assure they make an informed decision, and I would like to hear what they get to hear, as long as it is not classified.
And it doesn't matter to me whose in the White House. This shit has nothing to do with Bush.
I recall the Cuban missile crisis. I recall the gravity of the situation. I recall our response. Some have short term memory or none at all, because they weren't around.
Israel lives under those circumstances daily, with live fire on occasion.
