This is not the first time that Obama has said something to suggest that he is smoking controlled substances.
“Of course, Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with anyone who is dedicated to its destruction. But while I know you have had differences with the Palestinian Authority, I believe that you do have a true partner in President Abbas…” — Barack Obama, March 21, 2013
“As far as I am concerned, there is no difference between our policies and those of Hamas.” — Mahmoud Abbas, March 15, 2013
“Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it” — Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna, as quoted in the Hamas Charter
“Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah” — Hamas’s Al Aqsa TV
“Obama: Abbas Has ‘Consistently Renounced Violence,’” by Adam Kredo for the Washington Free Beacon, March 17:
President Barack Obama welcomed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to the White House on Monday in a bid to rekindle a fledgling peace process that has all but collapsed under Palestinian rejection and a massive influx of terrorist rocket attacks on Israeli civilians.
Obama hosted Abbas in the Oval Office for a “working lunch” and praised the Palestinian leader as “somebody who has consistently renounced violence.”
Obama omitted all references to Palestinian terrorism and last week’s rocket attacks, many of which were claimed to have been launched by a militant branch of Abbas’ own Fatah political party.
Obama also did not mention Abbas’ efforts to honor Palestinian terrorists and more recent remarks by his senior adviser calling on Allah to kill the Israelis.
The meeting comes at a critical time in the Middle East peace process, a priority for Secretary of State John Kerry.
Efforts to push both sides into signing an interim agreement that would lay the groundwork for a permanent deal have crumbled in recent weeks after Palestinian factions rejected the deal and resorted to launching nearly 200 rockets at Israeli civilians.
Obama lavished praise on Abbas during a joint press conference held before the two retreated from reporters for a one-on-one discussion.
“I have to commend President Abbas,” Obama said. “He has been somebody who has consistently renounced violence, has consistently sought a diplomatic and peaceful solution that allows for two states, side by side, in peace and security; a state that allows for the dignity and sovereignty of the Palestinian people and a state that allows for Israelis to feel secure and at peace with their neighbors.”
However, talks have in part broken down on the Palestinians ongoing refusal to publicly recognize Israel as a “Jewish state.”
Obama also did not touch on Abbas’s ongoing support for Palestinian terrorists who were released from Israeli jails last year in good faith as a precursor to the talks.
Abbas awarded in July the “highest order of the Star of Honor” to Nayef Hawatmeh, leader of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which has killed Israeli schoolchildren and others.
In October of last year, Abbas welcomed back home a group of 26 released Palestinian terrorists as “our heroic brothers,” according to the media monitoring site Palestinian Media Watch.
“We welcome our heroic brothers who come from behind bars to the world of freedom. We congratulate ourselves and we congratulate all of you in this great celebration that unifies and returns our sons to us,” Abbas was quoted as saying of the terrorists.
He made similar remarks in December.
Abbas said during a press conference with the president on Monday that he is looking forward to the return of another group of Palestinian terrorists, which he views as a chief priority going forward.
“We have an agreement with Israel, that was brokered by Mr. Kerry, concerning the release of the fourth batch of prisoners and we are hopeful that the fourth batch will be released by the 29th of March because this will give a very solid impression about the seriousness of these efforts to achieve peace,” Abbas said.
Obama, in his own remarks Monday, said that the United States remains the Palestinian Authority’s biggest global champion.
“The United States obviously has been a strong supporter of the Palestinian Authority,” Obama said. “We’re the largest humanitarian donor and continue to help to try to foster economic development and opportunity and prosperity for people, particularly young people like those that I met.”
As Obama struggles to put the peace process back on track, Abbas has indicated that he does not plan to negotiate past April 29, when he will revert to using the United Nations as a way to unilaterally gain recognition for a Palestinian state….

Too much “choom” for Barry.
richard Sherman says
Abbas is a sociopath: he supports the PLO CHARTER which calls for the murder of eight million Jews. This is third sociopath that Obama is extremely close to…along with Bill Ayers and Bernadein Dohrn..The fact that Obama is so emotionally comfortable with murderous sociopaths raises serious issues about whether he is also a sociopath.
Mannie Sherberg says
Superb comment, Mr. Sherman. To say that Obama’s affinity for some of the most warped, depraved, and loathsome people on the planet is worrisome would be putting it mildly. Our president is a profoundly disordered man.

“Obama: Abbas Has ‘Consistently Renounced Violence”
DELUSIONAL! Obama’s mind is closed, his mouth is open, his eyes and ears of shut to the deeds and words of Hamas.
This is dangerous for everyone on earth.
gerard says
Obama has consistently renounced Truth.

I can’t believe that Mr Obama does not know the truth about the ever invasion of Islam.
There is more to the tale.
Whatever it is the truth must go marching on,

imam obama knows all he has to do is say something and the deluded left will believe it. Therefore he just makes it up as he goes.

Someone should ask Rasool Obama publically, if he believes Allah is God and Mahound his messenger…And then watch him squirm. It would be interesting to see how he talks his way out of ‘not’ answering it.
semiold says
I fully agree. He should be asked repeatedly. This would at least give some of those with minds closed to the evil a chance to wake up.
Prinz Eugen says
True believers in messiah Barry Sotero may not yet have noticed that their divine leader tends to LIE — to lie about pretty much everything! Your healthcare costs, doctors, insurance, Hamas, islam, PLO, Iranian nukes, Syria, Benghazi, the moslem brotherhood, Egypt, fast & furious, IRS, etc. He makes Slick Willie seem like a traditional Boy Scout in comparison!
nabi sange says
Barry is useful idiot!!!
Buraq says
Abbas consistently renouncing violence, like a smoker consistently saying “That’s my last cigarette.”
Obama’s a clown!
somehistory says
Or like a man who beats his wife, blames her for it (as in, “Now look what you made me do), and the next day, fake tearfully says he’ll never hit her again. Truly renouncing violence.
Carol Lee says
Oh! That must be Morty Abbas…no relation to Mahmoud! Easy for the President to get confused!!!

Could Obama’s lie be any more blatant?
