U.S. President Barack Obama opined in a New York Times interview that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is too popular at the moment to make territorial compromises with the Palestinian Authority.
Asked whether he should be more vigorous in pressing Netanyahu, and the Palestinian Authority’s president, Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, to reach a land-for-peace deal, Obama said that this has to start with them. Prime Minister Netanyahu’s “poll numbers are a lot higher than mine” and “were greatly boosted by the war in Gaza,” Obama said. “And so if he doesn’t feel some internal pressure, then it’s hard to see him being able to make some very difficult compromises, including taking on the settler movement. That’s a tough thing to do.
With respect to Abu Mazen, it’s a slightly different problem....
Asked if he is worried about Israel's “long term survivability,” Obama said: “It is amazing to see what Israel has become over the last several decades... Think about the dream of the early Zionists and to have scratched out of rock this incredibly vibrant, incredibly successful, wealthy and powerful country is a testament to the ingenuity, energy and vision of the Jewish people.
“And because Israel is so capable militarily, I don’t worry about Israel’s survival. ... I think the question really is how does Israel survive. And how can you create a State of Israel that maintains its democratic and civic traditions. How can you preserve a Jewish state that is also reflective of the best values of those who founded Israel. And, in order to do that, it has consistently been my belief that you have to find a way to live side by side in peace with Palestinians. ....

...”at the moment...”
WTF? Is everything politics with everyone 24-7, or just in his mind?
And he sure resents that.
He’s a Democrat. Democrats are politics 24/7/365. They think of everything in political perspective. It’s how they live, breathe, think, and other bodily functions.
Cut politics from their lives, and you have a mass of brainless blubber floundering about. Their followers are usually in the latter category.
the fact that it’s raining rockets in Israel right now could also have something to do with it, idiot.
Everything is about polls and image with this clown - it is the glasses through which he understands the world.
Hey! Leave my sister-in-law out of this.
“poll numbers are a lot higher than mine”becomes...
"I'm being impeached and physically removed from office while Netanyahu is not."
Bibi Too Strong in Polls to Compromise
++++++++
And you are too weak in the polls for Bibi to give a crap.
land for peace? is he nuts? how about some of the bordering nations give up their land and give Israel a little peace.
The is a big difference between belief and wishful thinking.
What a complete doofus O is. .
the islamonazis want to kill The damnjoooos and O wants Bibi to “ compromise?! “ about it?! Creepers, how totally disconnected from reality can a man get? Sorry, O, your islamoNazi comrades gotta go. ASAP. To hell.
You must find a way to live in peace side by side with your cell mate, the twitchy guy with the shiv hidden in his shoe and the crazy look in his eyes. So bend over.
Hamas are terrorists and illegal combatants. Kill them.
Compromise about what? Hamas wants to WIPE OUT Israel. Would Obama compromise with an enemy who wants to wipe out the United States? Aw, we’ll just give them the western states, then they will be fine with us. You know, come to think of it, that is EXACTLY what the Boy Genius is doing.
If you see a 7 year peace agreement in the making. . .look up unless you are already up! We live in very troubling times.

Sign #7:
A seven year covenant signed with Israel
Daniel 9:27 (NIV)
27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.
Having discredited faith in God, politics is their man-made religion. They believe they are so intelligent they can control everything in life by passing laws. However, they have not learned to regulate things that others will die for, and that is why they will not win the war with Islamists who don’t mind dying for Allah.
