In recent years, when the president of the United States appears on Arab satellite TV, it’s because something bad has happened and an apology is warranted. These days, President Barack Obama appears on al-Arabiya TV specifically to send a gesture of respect and reconciliation to the Arab world, probably because he’s a Cylon sleeper agent secret Muslim. This is what Obama apparently had in mind when he said in his inaugural that it was time to abandon “childish” things.
An unafraid president says things like this:
THE PRESIDENT: Well, here’s what I think is important. Look at the proposal that was put forth by King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia –
Q: Right.
THE PRESIDENT: I might not agree with every aspect of the proposal, but it took great courage –
Q: Absolutely.
THE PRESIDENT: — to put forward something that is as significant as that. I think that there are ideas across the region of how we might pursue peace.
As Matt Duss explains, this is perfectly true, and yet the same hidebound conservative elements that have obstructed a thoroughgoing U.S. involvement in the peace process for eight years try to portray the Abdullah peace plan as beyond the pale. Now we have a president that isn’t interested in frivolous demagoguery.

At LAST we have a real President! More power to O'Bama. Our very one sided treatment of the middle-east conflict seems to be getting a little balance. The Zionists who have influenced our government for the past 28 years must be FURIOUS!

I don't think Zionists are worried. Most people in favor of a Jewish state support the peace process. The neocons and fundamentalists, the people who label Mr. Ackerman a self-hating Jew and who've driven our Middle East policy so much in recent years, are the ones who might be upset.
Also, President Obama/Adama doesn't need to be a Cylon in order to try to end the cycle of violence that has plagued the Israelis and Palestinians/Humans and Cylons for so many decades/thousands of years. That crazy Palin/Roslin chick is a fanatic and wouldn't do that.

Stop the process of Kurdish Genocide in Turkey
Israeli Government and Jewish lobbyist in Europe and America are helping Turks of Turkey for the Kurds Genocides in Turkey. Kurdish traders’ like Barzani, Talabani, Zebari and Barham Salah are partners of that crime against the Humanity.
We are asking President Obama to correct the wrong policy of the US government in the Middle East. The lobbyists in America are supporting Turkey to make money. They are calming that Turkey is fighting terrorist organizations of PKK only. PKK are not violent organizations any more. They are asking the Turks of Turkey for peaceful settlement of Kurdish right in Turkey.
The Turks of Turkey are insisting to continue with the wars. The Turks of Turkey are hiring Israeli Government, Europeans and American lobbyist, Traders Barzani and Talabani mafia groups to finish of the Kurdish populations in Turkey.
Since the collapse of the former Soviet Union the Turks of Turkey killed and displaced at least ten million Kurds in Kurdistan region of Turkey. We are appealing to you directly Mr. President Obama to stop this unjust practice by Turkey.
We are calling on the Kurdish people world wide to join Eraiain liberations movement to stop the Turks and Israel plans for our people’s Genocide in Kurdistan of Turkey.
