Obviously overcome with the power of Obama's appeals for peace and reconciliation, two Arab reporters refused to sit in a room with a Jewish reporter to interview Obama after his Cairo speech. Do you think it would have made a difference if the latter promised not to let his relatives build any ad-ons to their East Jerusalem homes? Not likely. This is the reality of the Middle East.

The president seems blissfully unconcerned with the evidence before his eyes. At times he seems downright delusional:

President Barack Obama took credit Friday for improving the climate for Middle East peace negotiations, and added that 'if we stick with it, having started early, ... we can make some serious progress this year.'
The State Department pipes up: "The president made clear that the United States, under his administration in the past few months, has probably done more than it had in the previous eight years." Did Hamas amend its charter when I wasn't looking? Did the Saudis recognize the Jewish state? Oh, no. What exactly has the U.S. government done other than antagonize Israel and give Iran the green light to pursue its weapons program?
