(IsraelNN.com) Martin Indyk, former U.S. Ambassador to Israel, has joined a growing number of people who backed Barack Obama for president and now criticize him. Both President Obama and U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell have failed in the Middle East, Indyk said in an Omaha, Nebraska forum.
Indyk, a Jew born in England, told Der Spiegel last January, “We have to be less naïve and more humble. I am sure Obama has understood that.”
Today, less than a year later, Indyk is sounding a different tune. “It’s clear that things are not going as he planned,” Indyk said at the Nebraska forum. He explained that President Obama counted on the support of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah, who rebuffed the overtures for even a minor compromise regarding the 2002 Saudi initiative.

The smartest man in the world, after Al Gore, flunks nothing. Doesn't Indyk know how handsome he is?
Why would Israel agree to the saudi proposal? It’s national suicide.
Who, but a complete fool or traitor, would rely on the goat fornicators to do anything but screw you over? The great zero is supposedly mr. intelligent, therefore he’s a traitor.
These "former" supporters of Obama make me want to hurl.
These former BO supporters should be 1)banished from society, 2)mad to wear a scarlet O, 3)allowed to take communion & speak the truth?
...and clean and articulate
The clintoons are past masters at the shaft your buddy routine. The great zero has some good scum on his team, also. This should prove very interesting.

He agreed with Obama's approach. Doesn't look like it here.
