President Obama placed the Middle East at the forefront of his first hours in office yesterday as he sought to make good on his promise of “ushering in a new era of peace”.

In a flurry of telephone calls from the Oval Office, he reached out to leaders in the region and vowed to engage immediately in pursuit of a permanent Arab-Israeli settlement.

The spokesman for President Abbas revealed that Mr Obama had told the Palestinian leader that their conversation was his first with a foreign statesman since taking office. Mr Obama also spoke to President Mubarak of Egypt, Ehud Olmert, the Israeli Prime Minister, and King Abdullah of Jordan.

I am laughing at all the crazy Jews who voted for Obama. I wonder if they are starting to worry at all. They should have asked him to name Bernie Madoff for VP...that way they could feel totally secure.

I wonder if my Jewish friends will come with me in 3 years to visit Palestine...I’ve always wanted to see Tel Aviv.

LOL

You can’t make this stuff up. He is doing all the things we feared he would in less than 24 hours.

I love one of the comments left at youtube for the video: “Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing it’s idiot.”

If Saddam Hussein was still alive, Obama would reinstall him as dictator of Iraq.

I can find the right words, but I don’t want to sin and I don’t want to get banned.

I backspaced over some of those words before pinging you to avoid being banned myself.

You guys are aware that Abbas is the soft-line reformist leader of the PLO...

While it's good to find that you apparently recognize that there is no meaningful distinction between the "Palestinian Authority" and the PLO, you seem not to recognize the fact that the people responding to this thread know precisely who "President Abbas" is and what he stands for.

We are not fooled by the game of "good terrorist, bad terrorist".

BTW, welcome to FR.

We know who Abbas is noamsmi.

A good rule when new to FreeRepublic.com is to read the threads awhile before posting. It will give you time to collect your thoughts.

Calling Israel FIRST would have been a very good idea, in my opinion.

Yes, welcome to FR, troll:

It's actually amusing, though, how those comments are very similar in their structure and phrasing to leftist reddit comments.

EDIT: Though reddit is rarely so overtly racist (the closest it gets is in matters dealing with Jewish people participating in government, but even then there are at least some dissenting voices).

I expected this. Mahmoud Abbas will be the source of his first accomplishment. I believe Israel weakened Hamas enough so that Fatah can be the power that restores 'normalcy' to the Palis in Gaza. That pushes Hamas out of the way, and Abbas can use Zero to negotiate a two-state peace treaty with Israel, all before the Israeli elections.

That's what the Kadima Party has been angling for in this most recent war in Gaza.

I think that was a clear signal to Israel about who Obama will be supporting in a Middle-East conflict.

Change WE can believe in? Who is WE? GUESS WHAT, IT’S NOT THEM.

If Clinton infected the White House with dangerous idiots, Obama is surrounding himself for slaughter. We are so liberal and compromised and surrounded nowadays, we will fear fighting back. It’s the same thing I saw in college, with dumb blond liberal girls still laughing at liberal rallies when surrounded by muslims screaming they’d be raped tonight... and they did but no complaint ever came out.

Denial’s a b!tch, for real.

Any f@g or whore like Obama “can believe” in anything someone threatening tells them. It makes their own lies more believable. Liar liar, pants on fire, has never been so true.
