President Obama's first call 'was to President Abbas'

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.

“In a Stunning Display of Ignorance, Absolutely Zero Freepers Knew Abbas is the More Pro-Western Palestinian Leader”


Interesting troll quote indeed, and typical way for them to express denial.

A similar story goes like this:

I know that the starving have clean teeth because they do not touch food with them.

Now liberals texting randomly at work claim that oral sex is the best of natural tooth cleaning activity... “in a stunning show of ignorance for us that it is the most ‘tooth friendly’ of foods”.

Things that makes one go hmmmmm....

Seriously. This guy is gonna make me stoke out. We are so screwed. Not like when Carter or Clinton were there. Like really screwed. Dangerously screwed. He is/will be the laughing stock of the entire world, the arab world for sure. They love to find weakness in their enemey the infidels. We now have a totally weak usurper in our White House. The terrorists never had it so easy.

“...his first call should have been to the President of the United States.”

Oh we won’t have a chance at having one of those for another 4 years at least. He’s gonna pretend to be president until then.

“Kenya will be his foreign trip.”

Oh please please let him go home for a huge victory tour, and while he is there with all the media, please someone drag him to a hut and loudly proclaim that hut as his birthplace AND HAVE THIS ON LIVE TV all over the world.
Oh please Lord make it so. (not holding breath, but it’s a nice dream anyway)

I am finding the whole matter, from Nov.4th to now, to be rather surreal. It is a living nightmare. One day in, and he’s throwing all he can at America to bring her down. He is insane, not bordering on it, as posted earlier. This guy is a danger to every American. I especially feel bad for those of us who knew this stuff would happen. The dupes that voted for him, they deserve what they get. They will no doubt be too stupid to know what Usurper is doing, as they are too busy watching Oprah and sipping lattes. I am surprised at the damage he has done in less than 48 hours.

I am completely behind you....I am in a daze...I look for guidance form others,e specially here on FR, but others seems to be in the same state as me...Do I pick up a phone? Do I pick up a gun in defense of my home? It seems like Stephen King has written the next chapter, and hopefully not the last, of our American heritage.

Now, that’s not cool.

The “freeper” formed an opinion, yet did no research as to what we know and don’t know. That would make the “freeper” an ignorant troll.

Thanks Mark O Malley for the ping.

“fumbled the swearing in ...”

I did not see any coverage of the travesty on Jan.20th. However after I learned of his bobbling of the oath, I am a tiny bit sorry I missed that. I just could not watch our country get turned over to Hussein.

I do hope someone is “keeping tabs on him”, making him more nervous than he would normally be. He is so totally unqualified for the toughest job on the planet. He can only fail miserably. If we all survive it, it will be wonderful to see his downfall. The bigger they are the harder they fall. The media has made him pretty big, he has a long way to fall.

Do you think old Hill and Bill are putting the screws to Usurper? Amoung others of course.

Thank you for your support. It is good to know someone understands. I wrote the Supremes 2 more snail mails today, this time with no respectful terms, and laying it on the line in plain english, that what has happened is that they allowed our Constitution to be violated.

I have added to my gun collection since Nov.4th, added lots of ammo, since it is likely Usurper will make such things too expensive to buy or just plain not available. Can’t tell by your name if you are female or not, I am, and I would recommend that you do find a home defense gun and get trained to use it. The NRA can help with that. Many Freepers are gun savvy. I ask them questions all the time. They will tell you rule #1 is “treat every gun as if it is loaded”. Go to the FR topic “the banglist” on the homepage, there is a wealth of knowledge there.

The other thing I do more now than ever is pray. I pray God forgives us for having an abortionist in The White House. I pray he does not condemn those of us who are desperatley against abortion, but are nonetheless now ruled by an illegal usurper who will make abortions more common. I pray The Lord will let us see 2012 and have this fire we are in forge an army of conservative candidates for the next elections. The GOP is so clueless. Unless they get a really conservative leader there, they are done for.

I have found that reciting The Lord’s Prayer is comforting. “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done” is especially helpful. I have to trust The Lord’s will is being done right now.

It is scary to live through this. I have never been afraid of a ‘president’ before. He is really a dangerous man. The things he has done already make me sick, I mean I feel sick to my stomache.

He does everything exactly wrong. Bass ackwards as my Dad always says. Pray my dear. All Christians should be praying like there’s no tomorrow. God Bless.

Yes. That and more. He is the most dangerous man on the planet now. He could cause total destruction with his stupidity. I would add “narcissistic” to your list of Usurper’s mental problems. Other faults: Egotistical, God-Complex, delusions of grandeur, detachment from reality, snobby, liar, criminal, tax cheat, real estate fraud,friend to terrorists, hates America, ignores his white half, raised by a muslim loving whore, OK, that’s enough. I gotta stop before I get sick. Let’s just say, to my horror, I’d feel a lot better with Hillary in there instead. Now that’s saying a lot.

become rivals as soon as this ass-clown begins to lose grip on power.

You’re right, this inexperienced zero is going to fall hard, he’s surrounded himself with buffoons.

The irony will be his own impatient peeps will likely be his downfall because all that promised pie isn’t even so much as in the oven, so this idea that people won’t see change for 3-4 years won’t fly Mr. President Zero.

“Have them call back after seven...

...months.”

If something happens to Israel as a result of Obama, he will have destroyed the good will he had going into his term in office.

The white folks who voted for him, will be furious with him.

People in this nation believe in God by a vast majority. They are mostly Christians and believe in Israel. They may be soft-headed at times, but when push comes to shove, they are going to side with God’s chosen people.

Pity the guy who doesn’t, and doesn’t know this.

The “messiah’s” first call was to Abbas. Why am I not surprised?

What a great picture - the smug grin on Arafat’s face says it all.
