make an official government visit to any country, especially an ally, unless invited by that country's sitting leader, per protocol.  Is Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the U.S. to address Congress Kocher?  He was not invited by Obama as this would be a no-no since Mr. Netanyahu is in the midst of an election campaign.  How would it look if President Obama visited Israel to meet and address the Israeli parliament without a direct invitation from Bibi?  Things are just getting too weird!

My understanding is that - sm

Netanyahu had already planned to be here around the beginning of March and that Boehner extended the invitation for him to speak to a joint session of Congress during that trip.

Red State, Blue State, No Healthcare For You State.Feb 28, 2014
If you live in a red state and are unable to afford health insurance or find the costs to be outrageous, you have no one to blame but your elected officials.  It is a shame, but you can change it by voting the bums out in the next election. I am fortunate enough to live in a very blue state and have reaped the benefits of affordable healthcare. ...

Some Help Understanding This PleaseOct 16, 2011
I'm young, a new mom, and have little in the way of "life experiences".  I don't want to keep making stupid costly mistakes, so I've decided to seek some help.  I want to understand my new health insurance.  I took my little one to a highly recommended pediatrician, got there, signed all the papers, and afterwards was blindsided when the total bill for the check up was $170!  All I was prepared to pay was the $35 dollar payment that my insurance told me I had t ...

My Understanding Of This ForumFeb 22, 2012
I love to discuss political issues in an intelligent fashion, and I have friends w/ vastly different opinions than my own.  Sure, sometimes it gets a little heated because we are committed to our beliefs.  Thing is, we can sit and discuss the issues w/o calling each other nasty names and judging each other.  Maybe I'm a bit naive, but I can't understand ehy we can't address issues w/o personally attacking each other.  Some of the posts here would make a stellar ...

Understanding Liberal Jan 18, 2017
1.  It's not all about Trump per se.  Trump is the "face" of liberal rage and bewilderment over something much larger - namely, the nearly nationwide rejection of radical liberalism that they've experienced over the last several election cycles (Obama's reelection notwithstanding). In state after state, the radical left has lost ground. 2.  In the context of #1, one critical consequence of this rejection is that they have lost the opportunity to tilt the Supreme Co ...

Paris, And A New Understanding Of The Value Of Nov 14, 2015
In the wake of the horrific event in Paris, one of the themes on news channels this morning is predictable - and very important:  How can a free society defend citizens who frequent "soft" targets, meaning public places where it's neither feasible, practical or perhaps even desirable to maintain the presence of armed security forces? It's fairly obvious, even in the early after-action reports, that there was no one at any of the six or seven(?) attack sites who was armed and migh ...

State-by-state Map Of Climate ChangeJun 13, 2012

I live in one of the states that is showing the most change. Due to my way of life, I have been very conscious of the weather changes in my lifetime. I first started noticing thunderstorms in January. We should only be having blizzards in January--it was kinda fun. Then we started having tornadoes in September an ...

Things that Obamacare does that Transcending Obamacare doesn’t 1.Induce rate shock. The ACA introduces an entirely new layer of federal regulations into the individual health insurance market: tens of thousands of pages of onerous requirements that drive up the cost of health coverage.
