Really?
Where did all the love go?
I still say he should return that Nobel Prize until he actually does something to merit accepting it.
"When he got the presidency, he said he would do lots for Palestine but he did nothing," he explained. "Now Palestine is angry, as you can see. Most Palestinians hate Obama – he will only make more problems for us".
On his last visit to the Middle East in 2009, Mr Obama had made a soaring speech in Cairo saying that the suffering of the Palestinian people was intolerable. "America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity, and a state of their own," he vowed then. But this is exactly what most Palestinians believe he has done.
Emerging from more than two hours of talks with the Palestinian leadership, Mr Obama squirmed on his podium next to Mahmoud Abbas when pressed on his position over Israeli settlements.
"Based on my conversations with both Mr Netanyahu and Mr Abbas, I believe the possibility exists for a two state solution," he equivocated. Settlement expansion was not "appropriate or constructive", he said, stopping short of stating the US government position that Israeli settlement construction is illegal.

"The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time."
I never thought I'd have anything in common with that bunch of useless savages. I suppose if you live long enough you see everything.
'Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses.' Roman Poet Juvenal – 77 AD

mrtxstar: Mass job-killing for the sake of an ideological end is domestic terrorism. The Biden immigration plan isn't about immigration, it's about flipping Texas blue which ultimately leads to the GOP never winning another federal election ever again. No Thank you.
