Obama's first call abroad to Palestine: Official
New president vows to seek 'durable' Mideast peace in Mahmoud Abbas call

January 21, 2009 11:01 AM


RAMALLAH, West Bank – U.S. President Barack Obama promised to work toward a "durable peace" in the Middle East during a phone call to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday, Palestinian officials said.

Obama called the Palestinian leader a day after taking the oath of office and assured him that he intended "to work with him as partners to establish a durable peace in the region," Abbas’s spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina told AFP.

Obama told Abbas that the president was the first foreign leader he called since taking office, Rudeina said.

"This is my first phone call to a foreign leader and I’m making it only hours after I took office," Rudeina quoted Obama as telling Abbas.

Obama and his secretary of state-designate Hillary Clinton vowed to deal with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict immediately after taking office.

CNN also reported that Obama became engaged almost immediately in the Middle East crisis. He placed phone calls with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak.

The jerk you seem to support had to have an attack on the Pentagon itself and even New York city before he even or ever got involved.

Are you trying to refer to yourself as an existentialist in your sig line or are you just pumping out more bullshit?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

The adults have now assumed command. Go back into your pitiful hole and I'll promise to let you know when it is safe for you to come back out. OK, pimp?!?!?!??!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!???!?!?

as a Vet, how can you hate your country so much..You've just help elect a man who followed the Black Liberation theology for 20 years, where his preacher says that American should be damned by God..he associated with a domestic terrorist who bombed his own country.

[Psychoblues]

Keep repeating the RNC talking points, stevie. The Democrats will be in power for many years as a result of your ignorance if you are in any way representive of the common thinking amongst Republicans.

I love my country as much now as I ever have and I have placed myself in many situations where my life could have been ended as a result of that love. Don't ever again accuse me by innuendo or otherwise that I do not love my country, stevie. You are not qualified for such a judgement.

I will say whatever the hell I want to you..you will never impede my freedom of speech...even though I know the party you support, will soon enough..
I just never figured you as a person who would want to see your country destroyed..
But now I now..

[Psychoblues]

Then say it, stevie!!!!!!!!!! You are about as much of an unAmerican bitch as I have ever seen or heard of.

I continue to love this country whether you live in it or not and you are about as wrong as any American could possibly be.

You addressed me, personally, and I simply warned you to not question my patriotism as I have demonstrated it far more than you could ever imagine. You are certainly entitled to condemn veterans whenever and however you like. And you are certainly entitled to question even my own patriotism. If that is accepted on this board please excuse me if I call you what I think you are. I will not pose it as a question but stand up straight and call it like I see it.

Why do you hate America and it's veterans, stevie?!?!?!!??!?!?!?!??! I really have thought more of you than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But, you still can't have any more Cods, not in this bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really felt obama would act in a realistic way towards mid-east peace.He is never going to make progress, if he deals with the ghost government of mahmoud abbas. As, i guess unfortunately hamas are the elected admin of the palestinians. He needs to talk to them, and persuade them to recognise israel's right to exist, then potentially progress can be made. We need lasting progress, not a 1 year ceasfire, then it all bursts as usual.

You will NEVER have that with a group like Hamas in charge. There should be NO communication with Hamas is any way. They are NOTHING more than a terrorist group that may or may not have been elected truthfully. How do we know they didn't threaten and intimidate their way to power?????

Once you legitimize hamas you condone what they have done to not only the people of Israel but the "palistinians" as well. They have brought the hardships on them more so than any other......

we "finally" have a president that knows how to pay lip service to the issues that cause your leg to tingle.......



Are you trying to refer to yourself as an existentialist in your sig line or are you just pumping out more bullshit?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

the brighter folks in the audience will recognize it as mockery.....wouldn't want those existentialists to cease to exist in the middle of a conversation now, would we?.......

[Psychoblues]

Did you say "mockery", pimp?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
