Obama Tells '60 Minutes' He Made Decision to Abstain on UN Israel Vote

The increase of Israeli settlements has "gotten so substantial" that it is inhibiting the possibility for an "effective, contiguous Palestinian state," President Barack Obama said Sunday, in his final interview as president.
Speaking to CBS' "60 Minutes," Obama dismissed the idea that there is a "major rupture" in the relationship between the United States and Israel after last month's decision by the U.S. to abstain from a United Nations vote condemning Israeli settlements.
He said it was he who made the decision for the United States to cast the controversial decision to abstain from the U.N. Security Council vote just before Christmas.

Did anyone ever think otherwise?

The Palestinians had their chance and blew it in 1948.
Why is that so hard for Liberals to understand?

That was Obama's last effort to help his Muslim Palestinian brothers. Obama grew up as a child in the Muslim faith. He has said the Islamic call to prayer is the most beautiful music he has ever heard. It is not surprising he is of the Islamic faith. He may live in the "rented" house in Washington, D.C., but he now "owns" a home in Abu Dhabi, (Arab Emirates). I just read there is a Cleveland Clinic/hospital in Abu Dhabi, so he will have good health care there. A picture of his home is here:
