Pajamas Media ; Obama has lacked any real strategy and relied instead on rhetoric in approaching the Israel-Palestinian question
These were all the errors of an inexperienced amateur. Obama has lowered the world's opinion not only of the office of the American president but- I am afraid-of the American people who chose this pop-culture figure to be our president. This man was foisted upon us by academia, celebrities, PC media and check stand magazines. At the end of a "Law & Order" episode as DA McCoy exited a press conference a voice from the crowd called, "Will you be in the Obama Administration?"
Watching television has become like sitting on the poop deck of a ship of fools. TD

Palestinians Protest Over Obama's UN Speech "Also in response to Obama's speech, the Palestinian workers union said it was planning to issue a call for rallies to take place after the main weekly Muslim prayers on Friday outside U.S. embassies across the Arab world."
"President Obama’s UN speech marked the culmination of perhaps the most counter-productive American foreign policy in memory. A president who came into office with a Palestinian state as one of his top priorities, criticizing his predecessor for not having devoted greater attention to it, was still trying after nearly three years simply to get negotiations started; he had accomplished the unusual feat of alienating both Israelis and Palestinians in the process; he had diminished his own stature and reduced the influence of the United States in the region; and he ended up faced with having to veto a Palestinian state."

Stop Blaming Israeli-Palestinian Conflict for Region’s Turbulence
"The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is just one factor among many in the region’s turbulence, and rarely is it the most important one. But it seems no amount of evidence will ever convince your average Western liberal of that."
American Thinker: New York Times Doing What They Do Best on Obama's U.N. Speech "As to the real purpose of the president's speech -- well, it's just a balancing act between two irreconcilables: "support for democratic movements" in the region "against support for Israel." No mention that by supporting Israel, Obama is throwing his weight behind a Middle Eastern nation that was democratic from Day One of its founding. Indeed, the Arab democratic movement is really trying to catch up with Israel's solid democratic values. There's a perfect compatibility -- not an incompatibility -- between Israel and the Arab democratic movement. The Israelis already have what the Arab revolutionaries say they want to achieve."
Media Ignore Palestinian Talk of No Jews Allowed in Palestinian State
Mitt Romney & Norman Coleman: Mistakes That Led to the Palestinian Statehood Bid, and How to Fix Them "Unfortunately, the road was paved largely by a series of mistakes and miscalculations by President Obama. He and his administration have badly misunderstood the dynamics of the region. Instead of fostering stability and security, they have diminished U.S. authority and painted our ally Israel into a corner."
....
"But beyond the diplomacy, we need to draw some lessons from the past three years of Obama’s presidency. A first lesson is that the United States needs a president who will not be a fair-weather friend of Israel. President Obama has shamefully broken with longstanding American traditions in distancing the United States from Israel, a fellow democracy and a beacon of freedom in the Middle East."

Media Ignore Palestinian Talk of No Jews Allowed in Palestinian State
He was most specific on July 28, 2010, when, in an uber-compromising mood, he intoned: "I'm willing to agree to a thrid party that would supervise the [possible future Israeli-Palestinian] agreement, such as NATO forces, but I would not agree to having Jews among the NATO forces, or that there will live among us even a single Israeli on Palestinian land." Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
