Obama missed a wonderful opportunity to reprimand (PA) Chief Negotiator - Saeb Erekat - for his hate-filled and racist remarks made at a meeting held by the International Peace Institute (IPI) in NY just ten days ago in the presence of Israel’s Deputy Prime Minister.
That opportunity was afforded President Obama at a joint press conference he held with ... Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...
Mr Erekat’s remarks were racist, highly provocative and amounted to incitement on a level never heard from so senior a member of the PA before. Maybe this is what triggered President Obama’s warning.

The melanin-endowed (whether Arab, Mexican, or Afritard like our Pres__ent) are incapable of this ultimate sin.
Expecting principled leadership from Obama is not a wise idea.
These are the guys who are quick to make the case that they are bullied and duped by Fox News, one news outlet out of several, but weren’t intimidated at all by over 60% of public opinion against their health care plan.
... while in fact, entire Arabia is the most racist area.
Not “unexpected”.
Silent??? Hardly!! It’s worse than that...
