´Peace is possible,´
Obama insists in Middle East

Associated Press, by Julie Pace

Original Article

Posted By:Desert Fox, 3/21/2013 5:25:13 PM

JERUSALEM -- Insisting "peace is possible," President Barack Obama on Thursday prodded both Israelis and Palestinians to return to long-stalled negotiations with few, if any, pre-conditions, softening his earlier demands that Israel stop building settlements in disputed territory. The president made his appeal just hours after rockets fired from Hamas-controlled Gaza landed in a southern Israeli border town, a fresh reminder of the severe security risks and tensions that have stymied peace efforts for decades. Obama, on his second day in the Middle East, shuttled between Jerusalem and Ramallah, reaching out to the public as well as political leaders.

So he says, as rockets are fired by one of "the parties" into Israeli residential neighborhoods while Barry the Weak [AKA Barry the Moron] has his photo-op in the Holy Land.

You could never sell this as a movie script. Never. As they say, fiction, unlike life, must be believable.

Julie´s as ignorant as Obama. The Palestinians want much, much more than a return to ´67 borders. They want a return to pre ´48 so they can conquer Israel. All Abbas has to do is recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

President Obama is simply reaffirming support for a two-state solution. That is a fair solution. Jews and Arabs both have claims to national states in the region of Palestine. Arabs have been there some 1000 years.
No Israeli settlements in Palestinian state territory! Also Palestinians must recognize Israel´s right to exist.
btw criticism of Likud policies is NOT anti-Semitism.

Here is more proof that Obama is sincere. Of course it is also proof that he is a fool - but we can be confident he is a sincere fool, for nobody who realized how absurd his ideas are about the Middle East problem could possibly say such things in public for fear of sounding like a fool. He is absolutely clueless. He has no idea, none whatsoever, that he does not know what he is talking about. And because he is a fool, he is incorrigible. He cannot learn. He is fated to return to his folly like a dog to its vomit.

Can any Obama supporter tell me one thing he has been honest about other than things that are detrimental to the United States - ie, energy production (real, not wind fairy dust), gun control, immigration - anything at all.
Given the above why in the world would anyone believe what he had to say in that speech that the Israelis were madly cheering. I wonder if those folks will cheer as the palestinians, at best, evict them from their homes and, at worst, well, think nazi Germany.

Hearing the constant applause on my kitchen TV, I got up from the computer to see what audience could possibly give Obama that kind of a reception. It sure wasn´t the Knesset where Clinton and George W. went to address the Israelis. It was a room full of adolescent minded college students, lapping up every word of the pablum he´s fed the masses every stage of his political career. Pure emotionalism for the warm and fuzzy crowd no different than his adoring voters back home. How is it possible for Israelis of any age facing annihilation to fall for this?

Obama uses the proven strategy of a well-trained radical, rabel-rousing,community organizer. He goes to a middle eastern country. Incites the youth to over-throw the existing government. Then goes home and leaves the smoldering mess in his wake. I can´t fathom why no one has ever accused or convicted him of this practice. It seems very clear. On an unrelated topic; the bible says this about the antichrist "For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them" and "Through his cunning He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule And he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their prosperity."

As others have long noted and commented upon, if radical Leftists like Obama and others exerted a mere fraction of the energy and good will they regularly devote to trying to befriend an bridge gaps and compomise and accommodate foreign critics and downright declared foes of the United States to working constructively with their domestic Republican opposition, American politics would be a much nicer and productive activity. It is perfectly amazing that people who cannot or will not get along with Fox News or Rush Limbaugh, not to mention John Boehner et al., actually believe they are going to achieve breakthroughs and great strides with foreigners who have agendas and interests contrary to those of America.

Yet this curious naivete is completely characteristic of Leftist fantasy ideology. It seems to be a part of the ideology itself. As far back as one cares to look American Leftists have been leaving no stone unturned to appease, apologize for, accommodate, reason with, adapt to and compromise with foreign enemies of America and Western values. The case of Joseph Stalin and the USSR is but one of the most outstanding and disgusting examples. We should not forget, either, how few are the former Stalinists and USSR apologists on the Left who have ever publicly and unequivocally proclaimed their mea culpa and confessed that they were, after all, gravely mistaken. This is because more than many people realize do not accept that they were mistaken.

Obama and his gang are political amateurs who do not understand how the world works and who cannot even get along with their domestic political opponents, whom they hate with a fury several orders of magnitude greater than any animosity they entertain for manifest and declared enemies of America.

In 1927, Jozef Stalin summoned the Russian neurologist Bekhterev to give a medical examination of the dictator. Later that day, Bekhterev returned to a medical meeting and told colleagues, "I have just examined a paranoiac with a short, dry hand." Stalin´s left arm was shorter and weaker than the other. The following day, Bekhterev was poisoned and died. He was killed for calling Stalin a "paranoiac." He did not mention Stalin by name, but his medical colleagues knew exactly whom he was talking about. Writing in European Neurology, the historian Juerg

Is the Constitution becoming the left´s new target? That thought struck me the other night over dinner with my liberal friend, a lawyer and part-time professor. Among his choice statements, "Maybe it´s time to get rid of the Constitution and start over." No doubt he was echoing the sentiments of Georgetown law professor, Louis Michael Seidman, who suggested just that in a New York Times op-ed. It´s been several weeks since Seidman made his remarks, and now, it appears, the floodgates are open. Liberals feel they can speak freely about their true intentions for our country.

For the first time in my adult life, I am not proud of the First Lady. Mrs. Obama is frequently compared to Marie Antoinette. She spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year on her own pleasure and aggrandizement while urging the peasants to plant gardens. And for the first time in American history, we have a president who insults us across the world, disavows the idea that American is special, enriches our enemies such as the Muslim Brotherhood, and degrades our achievements ("You didn´t build that."). Metaracism instilled in the Obamas the tragedy of ingratitude.

Obama now reigns over Versailles on the Potomac. And America´s taxpayers are the vassals who bankroll the opulence of King Louis-Barack and Michelle Antoinette." Deroy Murdock (Hoover Institute, Scripts Howard) nails it in his National Review article. King Louis-Barack and his family really know how to share your pain. The "we´re all in this together" seer of America´s hope and change takes our bucks and we keep the change. "Let them eat lentils" is Michelle Antoinette´s airy solution to her growing food-stamp constituency (is M-Antoinette embarrassed at the girth of her loyal cohort?).

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per

The lousy March jobs report jolted financial markets Friday, and understandably so. In a trend that has defined this weakest of all modern economic recoveries, the jobless rate keeps falling but largely because the labor force keeps shrinking. The unemployment rate fell to a new four-year low of 7.6%, from 7.7% in February. Good news, except the main reason for the decline was that nearly half a million Americans (496,000) left the civilian labor force. They retired, quit working, went back to school or gave up looking for work. The economy created a net 88,000 new jobs

THE elementary-school shootings in Newtown, Conn., in December produced two polar public reactions: fear among some Americans that the federal government will restrict gun rights, and hope among others that it will actually do so. Colorado, New York State and, most recently, Connecticut have clamped down on guns, while states like Texas, where I live, are considering legislation that would try to block the enforcement of federal gun regulations. The uncertain approach to guns is good for no one, except perhaps for gunmakers, whose sales have skyrocketed. Lost in this confusion and anxiety is the possibility

A Connecticut shop that sold a gun to the Newtown school shooter´s mother has lost its federal firearms license. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives revoked the license of Riverview Gun Sales in East Windsor, about 15 miles north of Hartford, on December 20, and the 60-day time frame to appeal has expired. The agency didn´t disclose why it revoked the license. ´It´s been revoked. It´s final at this point,´ is all ATF spokeswoman Deb Seifert would tell reporters.

Politics: Democrats were quick to blame the anemic March jobs number on the "sequester" spending cuts. If that were the case, what explains the previous four years of lousy job growth under Obama? At 88,000, the jobs growth in March was well below expectations. And while the unemployment rate dropped, that was the result of hundreds of thousands dropping out of the labor force who as a result aren´t counted as unemployed. Democrats, of course, tried to pin the blame for this on Republicans for allegedly pushing austerity measures. White House economic adviser Alan Krueger complained

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence.
