September 22, 2011 06:04

President Barack Obama has personally sworn to veto any resolution recognizing a free and independent Palestinian state because he claims the UN is not the right place for a new state to be born.

Response to Goran: Not Ridiculous, just Ignorant. Obama would have American Voters believe that he is just as confused about this issue as they are.

Seems more like deliberate misinformation, no?

How exactly is the UN not the place for Palestine to be born when both Israel and Palestine were born by UN resolution 181, The UN Partition Plan for Palestine? The one that the US voted for? This is ridiculous.

Folks aren't looking too deeply into this issue. First, any statehood package would cost Palestinians their right of return. Second, all you need is to fire a few uncanted (and therefore militarily useless) Qassam rockets over the border and Israel will be howling for (1) economic sanctions against the new state and (2) for UN peacekeepers to take over the killing of Palestinians.
This looks good neither way.

Mr. Obama is one of the smart guys. He may not have experiences on the business or economic.   In return, he is one of the smart guys who know how to play politic in the world stages as well as domestic stages.   It is too bad that world communities start to see who is real guy of the United States of the America in the world stages.

(R) 2012 RICK PERRY Presidential Foreign Policy and Affairs:  A black man (Barack Obama) and a black woman (Susan Rice) who could not differ black and white, right and wrong; of course they don't understand "What Is (Palestinian) Self-Determination toward a Palestinian Independent State ?" The 2013 RICK PERRY's White House will not dominate Suprem acy Rights to "veto" Palestinian's S overeignty, Democracy Freedom and Human Rights. Because the U.S. foreign policy and affairs under the 2013 RICK PERRY's White House, we will NOT plan to giveaway/grant any American taxpayer's Cash to foreign-aid to neither Israel nor Palestine. The USA is facing oneself's bankruptcy. The 2013 US President RICK PERRY will do:  1)  Money cannot buy pro-American diplomacy, PERRY administration will abolish Bush and Obama's "Intimacy -or- Sparsity" foreign policy. 2) The 2013 PERRY's policy will consider to renew ex-Presid ent Richard M. Nixon's US-Iran policy to resume a fresh start normal diplomacy, academic exchange, trade and commerce with Iran in order to secure American interests to Persian Gulf and Red Sea's Suez Canal. 3) The 2013 PERRY's White House will help Kurds towards a Kurdish Independent State, US will assist Kurds to build an US Air Force compatible airport and runway in Northern Iraq's Kurd's territory to secure the Northern Iraqi oil fields  ;; will NOT seek for Turkey's base but US has our own Kurd's US Air Force base.  We Americans AFTER Bush and Obama, the 2013 RICK PERRY administration just want to enjoy Nixon's policy and Reagan's "A Cowboy Without a Shot.", the "PEACE DIVIDEND" from the Arab Spring, a Republican joy with Muslim Arab-Americans together

Speaking of ignorance,

New York Jews, Chicago Jews, Texan Jews, Californian Jews, Oregonian and Washingtonian Jews, Minnesota BIG BANK ownership via Jews, Florida Jews, connect the dots across the land, where are not the Jews?  Ask Yoav Shamir's film DEFAMATION about Anti-Semitism and the truth be told - Jews own the world and have for eons.

This is the problem.

Jews are not the only chosen on earth, clearly the chosen are what the universe decides and not the predatory lower animal forms which have dressed up as SOCIAL CREDIT recipients.

[ basically the welfare of computer keystroke monies since 1917, U.S. $], thus there has been a great harvesting of the earth's bounty by the FRAUDSTERS of coining computer keystrokes.

T he Palestinians and other countries freed by the computer keystroke monies should check the CONTRACT about exchanging and trading dirt for keystrokes off computers, and which land has been in reality heisted by the so-called Jews of the world - Rothschild is the biggest Evil Doer and then his families like the Rolling Stone said, great Vampire Squid in search of money and of course the blood to spill so the VilEvil can swim in the human suffering and feel real good about this time around in the Rockefeller and U.N. Social Credit computer keystrokes to gulag even Stalin’s soul.

Perhaps the countries need to get together and compare the keystrokes of religions with crusading pilgrims thinking they're entitled.

Is Israel more independent then Palestine in democratic world? Barak is a decent man; he cannot lie, that is why he never look at the camera when he is publicly speaking. He always looks confused also.

Whoah, big suprise!

Seri ously, who   is Obama to decide where and how a nation can or can not declare it's independence?
Pal estinians should wise up, give the middle finger to UN for its impotency, and declare themselves a separate state. Basta! USA will never give them anything as long as Israel exists, they have to always remember that, and never get disillusioned about a country that has vetoed down every single resolution against Israel.

"State of confusion"???
Not hing unusual for the blessed Barak Hussein Obama who lives in a perpetual state of confusion.  But, what else can be expected from a Chicago "street organizer"? Talk about a state of confusion - that was the US election of 2008 where the naive American people foolishly elected this Chicago hip hop dude to be their president.
But, Obama's advisors have warned him not to anger Israel, because the Israelis will even attack their friends out of fury if angered.  The Israelis attacked the US ship Liberty in 1967 killing 34 young sailors and wounding 170.  Last year, the Israelis attacked the Mavi Marmara sailing peacefully at night in international waters killing 9 Turks.  So, Obama has been warned not to anger the Israelis, and thus, he will wander aimlessly in the perpetual state of confusion, oblivious to the human rights of the Palestinian people to be recognized as the legitimate rulers of their very own land.
Don't feel sorry for this pathetic Obama - he is confused by nature.
