From the article Obama U.N. speech sparks angry Palestinian protests, comes the following first paragraph:

RAMALLAH, Palestinian Territories — Angry Palestinians on Thursday protested in the streets of Ramallah and Gaza after a UN speech by US President Barack Obama which was seen as unashamedly pro-Israel.

I can’t imagine that anybody is surprised by this. Just in case my imagination has failed me, for the one or two readers of this blog who might be surprised, I refer you back to the September 18, 2011 post Save the United States and Israel From Themselves.

I hope that the President has given careful thought to how the United States will respond to the inevitable backlash actions. Although, there is no evidence that President Obama has ever foreseen the consequences of his compromises with the Republicans.
