Obama Secures Talks to Talk About More Talks

I admit, I chuckled at this story.

NEW YORK – Bristling with impatience, President Barack Obama sternly prodded Israeli and Palestinian leaders to relaunch Mideast peace negotiations Tuesday, grasping a newly personal role in their historic standoff. He won an awkward, stone-faced handshake but no other apparent progress beyond a promise to talk about more talks.

Sounds about right.  Apparently, Obama is frustrated that the Palestinians and the Israelis won’t set aside centuries of animosity and just make peace already.  After all, he has a domestic agenda to work on, dang it!

  1. Don’t forget he has to stop the “seas from rising” too.

  2. LOL. From the man who thinks that if we just say the magic words everything will be better.

    Yeah - you actually have to DO something and not just talk about it.

  3. Gee, I thought once Obama became President all would be right with the world and no one would hate the United States. [sarcasm]
