President Obama is in the West Bank for brief meetings with Palestinian leaders on the prospects for restarting Mideast peace talks with Israel.

Mr. Obama and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas were to hold a working lunch, followed by a news conference. Mr. Obama and PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad will then visit a youth center in Ramallah.

Expectations are low for any type of breakthrough on the peace process. Mr. Obama says he is focused on hearing from both parties on what it will take to restart negotiations.

The U.S. president is on the second day of his visit to the region. He was to return to Jerusalem later Thursday for a speech to Israeli young people.

>One of the rockets exploded in the courtyard of a house in Sderot early in the morning, causing damage but no injuries, said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. The other landed in an open field. Sirens wailed in Sderot shortly after the 7 a.m. rocket attack, forcing residents on their way to work or school to run to bomb shelters.

Still waiting for return fire.

And Obama went over there to Israel to receive some kind of award?

I am beginning to lose sympathy for them.

How many more billions do we need to throw down the rat hole?

15 sentences into the CBS article...As Mr. Obama began his program Thursday, Israeli police said militants in Gaza had fired two rockets at the southern town of Sderot.

This means nothing because...They threw a shoe at Bush in Iraq!

And the 500 Million he has ordered sent to the Islamic Terrorists in Gaza seem to have encouraged this attack.
After all they had to show their Muslim Brother he needs to increase the Jizya- Tribute paid our new Islamic overlords.
