Report: Obama won't force a peace plan before he leaves
Arutz Sheva ^ | 1/12/16 | Tal Polon

US President Barack Obama will almost certainly not pressure Israel to advance a peace process with the Palestinians during his final weeks in office, a new report claims.

AP reported that it had obtained information from “US officials” that Obama had no intention of shaking Israel up with a new peace plan before he steps down.

According to the officials, Obama had been considering over the past year to make a final grand statement - whether in the form of a speech or through support for a UN resolution - urging a renewed peace plan between Israel and the Palestinians.

Apparently, however, the unexpected election of Donald Trump caused Obama to change his mind.

According to the report, Trump, who has hinted at closer ties with Israel and enjoys a large pro-Israel constituency, would be likely to reject any anti-Israel stance that Obama puts on the table, forcing a public confrontation against Obama’s prospective policy - and tarnishing Obama’s image as “neutral arbiter.”

'I hope Obama leaves office in a dignified fashion'

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/221077

I hope he leaves office looking like Steve Urkel slipping on a banana peel.

But seriously, he'll be too busy starting WW III to bother forcing an agreement on Israel.

Instead, he has decided he will have Iran launch nukes at Israel on Chritmas day. Target Bethlehem.

Translated from “Obama”: I’m going to empower terrorists instead of paying lip service to “peace”.

He could never force a peace plan. The objective would have been, and may still be, to damage Israel's standing in the world. Having compromised Israel's security with a nuclear Iran, he's done what he wanted.

Like he could? Not a chance. Barry’s main “accomplishment” is a (as rated by both sides)bad healthcare law domestically and apart from his dubious Nobel, not much internationally.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. He did so accomplish great things internationally. He created ISIS, made the Arab Spring sproing, got Khadaffy, an ambassador, and several American security types killed, made nice nice to Cuba, and he might even start WW III.

I’m not sure how much is politics and how much is just the fact that 0vomit is lazy. Not that he has ever done anything except sign what’s put in front of him and read from the teleprompter in front of him.

The only time he shows any energy is when he is busy badmouthing those he resents, people who actually do work, like cops.

He also kept Israel from allying with the gulf states against Iran, and gave Iran nukes, and stopped Israel from getting an airbase in Azerbaijan to strike at Iran, and agreed to defend Iran from Israel and let them inspect themselves.

Let the big-eared turd try. I’m pretty sure that “running out the clock” translates well into Hebrew.
