Do you think Barack Obama consults with the other leaders of his party before making one of his grand pronouncements? Or does he just assume they’ll blindly follow his lead? (And just to be clear, when we say “his party” we mean the Democrats, not Hamas.)
It certainly doesn’t sound as if he the President passed his “Israel must return to its 1967 borders” concept past Harry Reid for prior approval.
Reid spoke to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and actually sounded angry about Obama’s plan. Well, if not angry, at least alive, which is a major improvement for ol’ Harry.
“The place where negotiating will happen must be at the negotiating table – and nowhere else,” Reid declared. “Those negotiations … will not happen – and their terms will not be set – through speeches, or in the streets, or in the media.”
And he wasn’t finished. Not nearly. “No one should set premature parameters about borders, about building, or about anything else.”
The crowd burst into applause, something so unknown to Harry that he was nearly startled into a moment of senior incontinence.

Ahh, the cells are forming and he is starting to grow a brain!
What is going on with his eye? For real that is a little weird.
It's just a little shit stain from having his head up his ass for so long.
Ah... Lovely!
I expected nothing different from him -- he'd say anything to get his hands on that donor cash that Barry just left up for grabs. Classic good cop/bad cop -- nothing more to be seen here.
Hmmph, a rare, lucid moment for the old boy.
I wouldn't get too excited. Stopped clocks are right twice a day. He got it right once in a career. He's still behind the clocks by a mile.
