We need more Dems to step up to the plate and not go.

I would suggest not - roundly condemn him for this political hatchet job and those playing with him, then let him be gone.

Obama declassifies 1987 report about Israel's nuclear program: http://www.courthousenews.com/2015/02/12/nuc%20report.pdf

Mark Gaffney, reading the tea leaves in CounterPunch:



Timing is everything in politics. With the report now public, Obama will be in a stronger position to apply pressure on Israel to sign the NPT and open its nuclear sites to IAEA inspectors; or face the prospect of losing US economic and military aid. Why? Because a US law (the Symington amendment of the 1961 Foreign Assistance Act) bars the US from giving aid to nations that engage in clandestine nuclear weapons proliferation. For many years, the US chose to ignore the law. But now that Netanyahu plainly intends to stir up trouble for Obama in Congress over Iran, the president has apparently decided to take off the kid gloves.http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/02/17/obama-plays-hardball-with-israelfor-once/

Obama, not feeling well and concerned about his mortality, goes to consult a Psychic about the date of his death.

Closing her eyes and silently reaching into the realm of the future she finds the answer: “You will die on a Jewish holiday.”

“Which one?'” Obama asks nervously.

“It doesn’t matter.” replied the psychic.

“Whenever you die, it’ll be a Jewish holiday.”
