Obama to Palestinians: I’ve got YOUR back, too!

Obama to Palestinians: I’ve got YOUR back, too! “President Barack Obama has told the Palestinians to sit tight during a U.S. election year, while holding out the promise of a serious push for Palestinian statehood if he wins a second term, the Palestinian foreign minister said Friday.” So much for that “I’ve got your back, Israel” crap. Absolutely everything is political performance art to the campaigner-in-chief.

  • Notice How Obutthead says he "stands behind" such and such a cause or group? I always thought a real leader was out front, not hiding behind everyone else...He needs to go back to Chicago and "stand behind" Rahm in the shower and leave us alone. Cowardice on parade..

  • So....does this mean if Israelis and Palestinians open up a full scale war, we attack them both?

    Just trying to understand.

  • Can someone please remind Soros' lap dog that Palestinians aren't eligible to vote in our Presidential election, YET!

    • No, but all their Muslim buddies here in the U.S. are, and Obama is always on his knees before one Muslim or another.

  • It wouldn't surprise me if obama plans to lead the Palistaniens after we boot him out of office. He has no problem with them rocketing the Israeli civilians.

  • CNN just reported Israeli airstrikes on Gaza - but did not mention the 100 rockets fired at civilians by the Palestinians. Disgusting people at CNN.

    • Well of course not. Israel DEFENDING itself does not make for good propaganda, er NEWS, I meant NEWS.

  • According to Obama Islam has always been part of our American family and celebrating Ramadan Is A “Quintessentially American Tradition.” Both stated at White House sponsored Ramadan events.

    Let's see, President Thomas Jefferson sent Marines to the shores of Tripoli to free Americans from muslim pirates, so I guess he's right, since it's even documented in the Marines' Hymn.

    • "According to Obama Islam has always been part of our American family"
      And we have always been at peace with Islam, and at war with Oceania.

      I just saw comedian Gallagher last night, and along with a lot of other stuff, he ripped up severely on Sock Puppet! Part of a theme exploring "Spoonfork" timidity, the fear to be one thing or another, and how he's neither really black or white. Oh, he said it a LOT funnier than that though!

      Also FTA: "Newt Gingrich, backed financially by an ardently Zionist Jewish billionnaire...."

      Once again, pandering to stereotypes is OK if you're engaging in an anti-Republican hit job, just like when Mr Cain got shafted for raping white women and stealing hubcaps.

    • Suuuuure, it has. But the math bucket doesn't hold water. Maybe some of the African slaves the muhammedenists sold to the slavers worked the koran, but there is a good deal of doubt many of them were practicing that form of evil before the mossy boys snagged them and their families. Why would any of them way back then have wanted to get further away from mecca, so far that they would not be able to make the hajj? They are supposed to want to be close to the epicenter of their delusions and if they make efforts to distance themselves physically, it makes sense they are seeking a way out of the whole thing.

  • If Obama is reelected all restraints will be gone and he will do whatever he wants. Israel will be thrown under the bus quicker than you can say "Jeremiah Wright".
