I renew my call for POTUS to work w/ Congress & America’s partners to craft a strategy to increase financial & diplomatic pressure on Iran.

Prime Minister @netanyahu's speech was powerful, persuasive and correct. We stop #Iran with a strong deal – a weak deal is a nightmare.

Nancy Pelosi looks ENRAGED on the House floor. She shook her head and covered her eyes at one point.
— Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) March 3, 2015

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi appeared visibly angry during the latter half of the #NetanyahuSpeech LIVE BLOG: http://t.co/wSPPL8ySDD
— WSJ Politics (@WSJPolitics) March 3, 2015
Anyone notice Nancy Pelosi is standing up front with her back to Netanyahu, and TALKING, while he gives his speech!
— John Lair (@johnlair58) March 3, 2015
Pelosi physically throws up her hands, shakes her head and refuses to stand as Netanyahu lambasts Obama's negotiating position with #Iran.
— Michael Wilner (@mawilner) March 3, 2015
Pelosi joined in final applause for Netanyahu only briefly. She stopped clapping long before everyone else. Not hiding her irritation.
— Cristina Marcos (@cimarcos) March 3, 2015
.@USRepDavidJolly says an "angry" Pelosi walked past him and a couple other members and dismissed speech as "horrible" and "insulting."
— Alex Leary (@learyreports) March 3, 2015
NANCY PELOSI just walked out of the chamber BEFORE Netanyahu. Very clear how unhappy she was with parts of the speech. Hoyer remained.
— Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) March 3, 2015
Pelosi: "I was near tears" in Bibi speech, "saddened" by insult to US intel in Iran talks & "condescension" re: US awareness of Iran threat.
