Despite Prime Minister Netanyahu’s clear statements that his position on a two-state solution has not changed, State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki said last Thursday that she just “can’t forget” comments that Netanyahu made before the elections (nor is she willing to take those statements in the proper context). White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough reinforced Psaki’s view on Monday while speaking to — who else — the Soros-funded lobby group JStreet. McDonough said that “we cannot simply pretend that these comments were never made.” Although the administration appeared to accept that Netanyahu apologized for his comments about Arab voters, the State Department still continues to maintain that “it’s going to be hard to find a path where people are seriously believing, when it comes to negotiations, that those are possible.”

Last week I noted some comments that US President Barack Obama made during his own campaign that he seems to have forgotten about. Since the US President still refuses to get over his “temper tantrum” with respect to Netanyahu’s comments about Palestinian statehood, I thought it might also be fun to take a look at some statements made by some of Obama’s best buddies that he doesn’t seem to remember all that well.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas:

Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei:

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani:

  • In October of 2013, discussing the commitments Iran made to suspend nuclear development under the October 2003 Tehran Declaration, Rouhani declared, “we did not let that happen!
  • In May of 2013 he said “Saying ‘Death to America‘ is easy. We need to express ‘Death to America’ with action. Saying it is easy.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin:

And of course Obama’s BFF, The President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan:

I’m quite sure this list is not exhaustive.

If Obama won’t let Netanyahu’s comment go, it’s really worth asking why (hint: he might find the answer in here).

    We just have to hold on tight for the next 22 months until Obama is outta here. With the 2016 election campaign just beginning, it will be fun to see how many Democrats run away from embracing their man in the White House.

    I can’t forget that State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki said that it’s not terrorism for Arab teenage boys to throw rocks and firebombs at Jews traveling in cars on the highway.

  3. Obama’s campaign in 2012 claimed that Mitt Romney was responsible for a woman’s death from cancer (it was a lie). The S.O.B. is shameless.

  4. This will make ones blood boil; listen to press hack Josh Earnest’s response to CNNs question about the death to America comment:

    This just shows how either dishonest this admin is or how much they are in denial, or both. Everyone knows the Ayatollah has the final word on any deal, yet the admin refuses to acknowledge this and instead makes excuses for them. It’s truly like we’ve entered the twilight zone.

    1. I think Obama’s confused. Maybe he thinks the Iranian chants of “Death To America” are from Bibi for his domestic election campaign, and Iran’s hate rallies are a democratic election within a stable state?

    1. Iran not cooperating? Well, they will be cooperating any day… year or decade from now. Come on give them another thirty years to stall, …I mean give up the nukes! Iranian nukes are for peace! Meanwhile Bibi’s Israel needs to be reassessed for its reliability: elections are bad things when we don’t like who gets elected, especially when they like us. And we just can’t trust those Israelis that don’t trust the good will of their West Bank and Gazan political counterparts who take help from Khamenei’s Iran while being in on the Khameneist love fest towards Americans and Israel.

  5. We cannot forget what President Obama said:
    “If you want your doctor, you can keep your doctor!”
    “If you want your health plan, you can keep your health plan. Period!”
    Please will posters add one of his infamous statements: Yemen, Israel, transparency, IRS corruption. Any subject will do, since his words never mirror reality.
