It's come to this: Obama will do ANYTHING to avoid having to veto 'Palestinian statehood' in an election campaign

Barack Hussein Obama is convinced he knows better than the 'Palestinians' what's good for the 'Palestinians.' (And he's probably right). Obama believes that if he is reelected, he can dump Israel and bring about a 'Palestinian state.' The problem is that the 'Palestinians' don't believe him.

The 'Palestinians' are once again threatening to go to the United Nations to seek a 'state.' And the last thing that Barack Hussein Obama wants to do in the middle of a reelection campaign is the thing he would have to do if the 'Palestinians' make that move: He would have to veto a 'Palestinian state' in the United Nations Security Council.

As a result, Obama is threatening the 'Palestinians' with the kind of sanctions with which they were threatened by George W. Bush (link in Arabic, Google translation here, Hat Tip: Jonathan Schanzer via Twitter). He is threatening to close their 'embassy' in Washington. He is threatening to stop all US aid to the 'Palestinians.' And he even sent emissaries to Ramallah last week to convey that threat in person.

Meanwhile, the 'Palestinians' are now up to seven preconditions for resuming the same 'negotiations' that the United States has asked them to resume 'immediately and unconditionally.' One of the new preconditions is that the Fatah-Hamas reconciliation is a 'top priority.'

This election season may yet turn out to be fun after all. What could go wrong?
