Considering Biden’s very public seat during Netanyahu’s address this would drag our special relationship with Israel to yet another new low, which is exactly what Obama wants.

Via Politico:

Vice President Joe Biden won’t commit to attending Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to a joint session of Congress next month.

He’s not the only one.

Dozens of House Democrats are privately threatening to skip the March 3 address, according to lawmakers and aides, in what’s become the lowest point of a relationship between the Israeli prime minister and President Barack Obama that’s never been good. […]

Biden’s office wouldn’t comment on the decision-making process about attending the speech. As the president of the Senate, he usually takes a seat beside Boehner on the podium behind the lecturn for addresses by foreign leaders.
