Senate panel investigating Obama’s funding to oust Netanyahu

Obama has send his little worm Jeremy Bird and other resources to Israel in late January to work to try and defeat Benjamin Netanyahu in Tuesday’s coming Israeli election. This isnt’t new, it’s been common knowledge for nearly two months now. Yet, all of a sudden the Senate is going to investigate just how much of our tax dollars were used in Obama’s anti-Netanyahu propaganda campaign in Israel. So nice of the Senate wait until just before the Israeli election to investigate Obama, Jeremy Bird etc. The media of course knew about this for weeks too, yet it’s only today that Fox News is reporting on this story.

Senate panel investigating Obama’s funding to oust Netanyahu

A powerful U.S. Senate investigatory committee has launched a bipartisan probe into an American nonprofit’s funding of efforts to oust Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the Obama administration’s State Department gave the nonprofit taxpayer-funded grants, a source with knowledge of the panel’s activities told FoxNews.com.

The fact that both Democratic and Republican sides of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations have signed off on the probe could be seen as a rebuke to President Obama, who has had a well-documented adversarial relationship with the Israeli leader.

The development comes as Netanyahu told Israel’s Channel Two television station this week that there were “governments” that wanted to help with the “Just Not Bibi” campaigning — Bibi being the Israeli leader’s nickname.

It also follows a FoxNews.com report on claims the Obama administration has been meddling in the Israeli election on behalf of groups hostile to Netanyahu. A spokesperson for Sen. Rob Portman, Ohio Republican and chairman of the committee, declined comment, and aides to ranking Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, of Missouri, did not immediately return calls.
