Obama 'star' of Palestinian ad (supports terrorist over Israel)
Politico ^ | 9/7/11 | MACKENZIE WEINGER

President Barack Obama is the unlikely star of a new Palestinian media campaign.

Part of a speech Obama gave in 2010 to the United Nations General Assembly is featured in an ad aimed to rally support for the Palestinians upcoming bid for statehood at the United Nations on Sept. 20, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

“When we come back here next year, we can have an agreement that can lead to a new member of the United Nations, an independent, sovereign state of Palestine living in peace with Israel,” Obama said in the 2010 speech in the clip that is played in the radio ad.

The Palestinians use of the remarks is at odds with the Obama administration’s current all-out push to stop the Palestinians from pursuing their statehood bid. U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East David Hale is set to hold talks Wednesday with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to urge him to reconsider the statehood effort and instead return to direct negotiations with Israel.

During the 36-second radio spot starring Obama, Abbas tells listeners “If he said it, he must have meant it.”

Oh, our Prince Barry is a star alright.

And one of the greatest men who ever lived.

Did you know he’s a lot like Lincoln?

He’s going to free the Palestinians from Israeli “apartheid.”

And he’s like Moses too.

He led the Muslim Brotherhood into Egypt.

I just can’t imagine what other great deeds this titan will accomplish next.

Seriously, did any of you ever think the President of the United States would ever be on a commercial like this? How far we have fallen.
