(IsraelNN.com) President Obama, before he took office, pressured outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to put a quick end to the Cast Lead counterterrorist operation against Hamas, according to New Yorker journalist Seymour Hersh.

Hersh, who previously has divulged conversations with leaders promoting pro-Arab positions vis-à-vis Israel, reported in the current edition that President Obama approved of recent talks between American officials and Syrian President Bashar Assad.

There is never going to be peace with these Islamic terrorist groups. What the heck is so hard to understand about that?

Thought at first that the post was covering two topics and the first one was banning cast lead bullets like wc’s and swc’s. LOL.

Of course Obama is protecting his friends. My fwife noticed on Leno the other night he made his entrance with the Moslem gesticulation in his greeting.

The child king is as much a liar as BC.

She said he put his hands together and bowed or something. It startled her.

She make a comment at the time. but when I looked it was over. I was on the computer or something. My stomach is not strong enough to take Obama speeches.

Better take it with a grain of salt-—I cannot find video of anything like that (I just looked).

But she is not a liar.

Any other Freepers notice anything like that?

If true, the fact that he can't handle Olmert doesn't inspire confidence.

Nothing surprising about this story, other than perhaps that a left-leaning MSM publication released it. We had suspected all along that the timing of the Israeli pullout from Gaza was strongly influenced by the Jan. 20 coronation date.

Even a blind person could have seen that "Osama" Obama would rather reach out to the most vile Middle Eastern regimes than support Israel in its battles against them.

Nothing at all. The point of making continuous pacts with Muslims is to perpetuate the cycle of violence aka "peace process". The goal is the process (follow the money) in the same way a bureaucracy is hellbent on self preservation via metastasis. Same MO applies to envirowackos, global alarmists, gun-grabbers, supporters or Hillary Hellcare, WOD. So, imagine the "fun" the Obamessiah will have with the War on Terror. More terror is what will serve The One's vile interests, not less. But we already knew that.

While that is true with some politicians, there are many who are naive fools and believe that they will solve the problem.

Obama is going to tear us down from every direction.
