Obama showed off his analytical brilliance this morning when he compared the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the US having arguments with Canada (h/t: WFB):

It just seems like yesterday that Canada was lobbing missiles into Wisconsin.

Meanwhile, Obama said the “Palestinians deserve a state of their own“:

President Barack Obama spoke critically of Israeli settlement activity in Palestinian territories and reaffirmed his commitment to the creation of “an independent and sovereign state of Palestine” in a Thursday news conference in the West Bank.

“We cannot give up on the search for peace, no matter how hard it is. … Too much is at stake,” the president said during the joint news conference with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on the second day of his first official trip to Israel.

Obama reaffirmed the “difficult” goal of a two-state solution, adding that Israel’s program of settlements was unhelpful and did not “advance the cause of peace.”

When asked whether he thought a halt to further settlement activity was required before peace talks could begin in earnest, Obama demurred.

“If the only way to even begin the conversation is that we get everything right from the outset … then we’re never going to get to the broader issue, which is how you actually structure a state of Palestine that is sovereign and contiguous,” the president said.

“The core issue right now is how do we get sovereignty for the Palestinian people and ensure security for the Israeli people,” he added. “If we solve those two problems, the settlement problem will be solved.”

Obama said that had been the focus of the talks he had just conducted with Abbas, which lasted about an hour and occurred just before the news conference, during which Obama praised Abbas for his leadership and sharply criticized rival group Hamas for the “misery” of Palestinians in Gaza.

He sounded hopeful about Abbas and the Palestinian Authority and reiterated U.S. willingness to help.

“The United States is deeply committed to the creation of an independent and sovereign state of Palestine,” he said, adding, “Simply, Palestinians deserve a state of their own.”

Obama invents history and facts at will.   He's part of the progressivist Islamist culture of unreality that ignores factual evidence for the sake of their ideologies.   For example, Islamists now claim Moses was a Mohammedan.   Obama says you can spend the US out of debt.

Obama talks peace to the Iraelites, and he sends 200 tanks and 16 F16s to EGYPT. ..to be used against Israel.   What a hypocrite and deceiver.  Here comes the 7 year tribulation, on time for the endtimes.  Now wse know who the instigator is.

The Bible warned against dividing Israel.,  The Bible predicted a peace with Israel  "Peace, Peace", the Israelites will say---especially from students Obama addressed today. but here will be no peace.  the 3 and a half years will only be used by the arabs to plan an attack on Israel, to catch them sleeping in their delusions of peace.  They just can't get it through their heads the muslims want to kill them all.

Clearly, Obama is not a Christian because he does not recognize that the problem between Israel and ALL MUSLIMS goes all the way back 4,000 years to Abraham with Ishmael and Isaac.  

The US and Canada..... really?  What utter nonsense!

As Golda Meir once said "We will have peace in the Middle East when the Arabs love their children more than they hate the Jews".

Obama gives lip service to the fact that Israel cannot make peace with people who refuse to recognized their right to exist as a Jewish state.... but it always the Israelis who are expected to sacrifice and compromise.

The reason Obama hates canada right now is because they have a conservative prime minister and it ticks him off because is a huge contrast to see Canada moving to a more capitalist country.

Canada is responsible for most of those evil, "Saturday Night Live" people. They keep lobbing them over the border and they so far haven't taken out a major city, but it's not for lack of trying. It's an intifada.

@NYGino @poljunke I think we're all just feeling our way along here Gino.  I don't like this new format at all.  For too many reasons to list here.  I guess you know it was foisted upon us because Disqus insisted on using the new version and it was much worse then this format is.  I wish we could have our old Disqus back.  I was SO much happier with it.

Discussions aren't the same anymore because you can't go to a dashboard and follow up on replies to you, or for that matter even see if there were replies to you...  Wait... I said I wasnt' going to list my issues... At any rate, if you have questions, ask away and someone might know the answer.  Lots of people, including myself have been doing so since the switch over.

His analysis never rises above the level of a 2nd grader (e.g..  The solutions to these problems are not always easy but they can be done,  Both parties need to work together to compromise, blah blah blah)      He would make a great 2nd grade teacher (e.g. Chuck, you're incorrigable!  Now, Suzy you know only one question is allowed, and you didn't raise your hand.  I'm sorry Jimmy but we're not discussing Benghazi anymore, it's naptime now) .  But as for adressing thinking adults, he's in way over his head.

The US was host recently to our opposition leader, the leftist New DEMOCRAT leader Thomas Mulcair who certainly had Pelosi's ear.

Pelosi (bless her) went on to say Canada is bordered by 3 seas, yet wants to find markets over American land... or something.

Honestly!  How can these people be so stupid and still breathe?

Here's the dimwit speaker-in-waiting at her finest regarding Keystone:
