(IsraelNN.com) Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has sent multiple messages to United States President Barack Obama threatening to quit, Channel 10 news reported Monday night. Abbas blamed Israel and the U.S. for pushing him to desperation, saying negotiations with Israel were at a stand-still and Obama had “abandoned” him.

Abbas also mentioned the serious hit to his popularity caused by the delay of a United Nations vote on the Goldstone Report. The report accused Israel of war crimes in connection with the three-week Cast Lead counterterror offensive in Gaza.

Obama responded to the threats by calling Abbas and calming him, according to the report.

He's squealin like a stuck hog.

If what he says is true, he should be scared to death. (Bibi: Hi there.)

Obama responded to the threats by calling Abbas and calming him, according to the report.

So, how did that conversation go? I can just imagine...

Abbas: But Hussein, you promised me that you'd take care of it before the end of the month. Do you have any idea how expensive it is to keep those angry worshippers corralled at al-Aqsa and supplied with rocks?

Obama: Um, uh, I told you that I had some things to take care of first, before we can put the screws to them... Keep it in your pants and soon enough it'll be a done deal.

Abbas: What things to take care of? Golf? Olympics? Nobel Prize? Hula hoops?

Obama: Good grief, man, have you been watching Fox News or something? Trust me, I've got some important things cooking on the back burner and as soon as they're complete, I'm going to put them in their place. The other guys are making good progress with the centrifuges... Just give it some more time, you'll see...

Abbas: But, but, but... You lie!

Obama: Er, um, don't get all wee-weed up on me Mahmoud... Let me be clear about one thing - if you mess this up, I'm gonna send Hillary Clinton to kick your butt... Um, yeah, that and Michelle too... So watch it, tough guy...

Dear Barack Obama,

Please expend what little political capital you have by backing Abbas against Israel very firmly, even vociferously.

Bring this matter to the top of the news shows’ broadcasts, even higher than your feud with Fox.

Thank you very much.

So resign, Abbas -- and the US will not lift a finger to ensure your future security. See how long you live once you've removed yourself from power.
