July 23rd, to be exact. That is the date that Sen. Barack Hussein Obama will meet with palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Here's the brief announcement from YNET:
All I can say about this is ....a fish out of water. And that I would love to be a mouse in the corner during this meeting. I just saw an AmericaOnLine poll last night that showed the results of the question:
Who do you think brings a better grasp of foreign policy? Barack Obama or John McCain
The results at the time I voted show McCain at 63% and Obama at 37%.
I would like to ask the 37% where they base their vote from but I will write that off as dyed in the wool Dems who would have said Obama to any question. Let's face it - Obama will be a doe in the headlights in this meeting, I just hope he doesn't open his big mouth and make things worse. We saw Nancy Pelosi fly over to Syria and embarass herself over there in front of Assad - she did it to ruffle the Administration's feathers but in the end, she looked like a fool.
More than likely, Obama will learn a valuable lesson and that is that you don't meet with any Arab unless you have some power in your back pocket. Abbas will view Obama as the messenger for some inane message - he will use Obama like a little tool or mouthpiece. Obama will be willing to do his bidding in that any announcement by Obama will be viewed as him being in touch with foreign affairs.
I doubt that Obama will make a major gaffe here so it will probably be the kind of visit that doesn't make huge headlines but it will be interesting to see just how uncomfortable Obama is in this setting.

Bah, the only thing Obama knows about the world situation is what his wife tells him. Abbas will play this fool like a piano. They will have one thing in common though, their detestation of the U.S. military.
How true, Shark. I can almost see if now...Obama sits down with Abbas and Obama says, "So, I understand you live around here, huh? What country am I in, exactly?"
