It might have been the most revelatory moment of the Obama presidency. In an interview with Time magazine, a chastened President Obama talked of his sputtering Middle East peace initiative.
"This is just really hard," he explained. "This is as intractable a problem as you get."
As an observation, this is as banal as it gets. After all the wars and all the terror attacks against Israel and all the frustrated American diplomatic forays across the last two administrations, no one should be surprised at the intractability of the Israeli-Arab conflict.

Really liked that article! Especially loved this:
“This speaks either to an astonishing historical ignorance (did he not know?) or a stupendous self-regard (did he not care because he thought he was so special?), or both.”
and
“During the campaign, Obama could throw a rhetorical pixie dust over all the difficult choices inherent in governing and the contradictions of his own program, making them fade into a beguiling vision of a sun-lit post-Bush America.”
throw a rhetorical pixie dust...I love that!
“stupendous self-regard”
Yep. The guy apparently bought hook line and sinker the messianic hype that the Chicago thugs put out on the campaign trail. Under it all, Zero has nothing but his commie philosophy to falll back on.
About the SCAM and their love and concern for Obami, The evidence is shinin' in their eyes
Swoon Over Obami
. . .
[Chorus]
There's now no swoon over Obami
But I know the SCAM's love is hangin' in the air
They could make it right
The right of all rights
If SCAM just take enough time
Look.. I know they'll find
There's still a swoon over Obami
just have to add a comment from the posters’’’you got to love it!
“I hired a plumber once to make an extra bathroom... he came to my home, made some notes and came back with an estimate... he phoned me two days later and said he really wanted my business... on the first day of the job, he came to me and complained that it was “really hard work” setting the pipe in the crawl space under the house....... I fired him immediately.
Only a dope goes out of his way to get a job and then complain that it is really hard.””
