Lying is getting in the headlines now — just look at what is happening with Brian Williams.

But there is a bigger lie being perpetrated by Democrats and the Obama administration. They claim that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Congress  is against protocol and that the White House was never informed. That part is a blatant lie.

According to an article in The New York Times, Netanyahu’s visit was agreed upon after the White House was informed. The Times actually wrote a retraction to an earlier version in its online site.

It is obvious to even to the most politically ignorant that Barack Obama is not a friend to Israel and prefers to align himself with the Muslim community.

As an American citizen, I apologize to Israel and her people for the disrespect the Democrats and the president are showing to Netanyahu, who is a great leader.

They should be ashamed.
