The Obamagood Thread

The one-state solution: Obama’s sorry legacy

The White House recently acknowledged that it was out of ideas on how to pursue Israeli-Palestinian peace talks in the final year of Barack Obama’s presidency, raising — for the first time — the prospect that Israel’s occupation of East Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank is permanent.

This admission highlights the regrettable conclusion of the Obama presidency’s Israel-Palestinian policy, which opened in 2009 with high expectations raised by the ill-conceived and ill-fated decision to put the demand for a settlement freeze at the top of his diplomatic agenda.

Obama quickly assembled a “dream team” to implement the settlement freeze, led by former Sen. George Mitchell, who brokered the historic Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland, and who, as the head of the Mitchell Commission, in April 2001 called on Israel to “freeze all settlement activity, including the ‘natural growth’ of existing settlements.”

In 2009 then–Secretary of State Hillary Clinton set the uncompromising terms of U.S. policy, declaring that Obama “wants to see a stop to settlements — not some settlements, not outposts, not ‘natural growth’ exceptions ... That is our position. That is what we have communicated very clearly.”

U.S. officials have never understood that the challenge they face is not to prevent the one-state option but to undo it.

The die was cast in the first days after Israel’s decisive June 1967 military victory, which led to the occupation and settlement of the Palestinian territories. Ever since, Israeli policymakers — Labor and Likud alike — have operated on the assumption that Israel’s territorial goals had been achieved and confronted the question of how to manage this achievement.

Did Obama do the pabebe wave in this selfie with PHL Navy captain?

November 17, 2015 6:59pm

It was the commander of the BRP Gregorio Del Pilar, Captain Vincent Sibala, who toured US President Barack Obama around the Philippine Navy flagship that used to belong to the US Coast Guard.

And if one could get that close to the leader of the world's only superpower, how can one best capture the moment than have a selfie.

The Navy captain even did the pabebe wave as seen in this picture posted by his daughter Nicole on Twitter.

In Nicole's eyes, even Obama did the pabebe wave.

It's never been clear to me why the President insists on calling ISIS Isil instead.
 
Some righty will twist it to say "Look even the Mexicans can't stand him and are leaving the country."

Except they've been leaving for 10 years and Obama was only president for 6 of them.

I'm very curious what happened to the 2000-2005 section. That's a strange thing to leave out.
 
yes you retard, because obama hasn't done shit for the economy


you know its bad, when illegal labor starts to leave (just like they did in 2007)

I just don't understand, how you can be so fucking retard


For the first time since the 1930's more Mexicans are emigrating from the US than immigrating. Somebody tell Donald Trump and Ted Cruz that Obama had this covered.
