Gordon Brown? No

Sarkozy? No




He called Mahmoud Abbas.

Guess who that guy is.


Does it all make sense now?

What's your point?

President Obama's first call 'was to President Abbas'

Quote:
The spokesman for President Abbas revealed that Mr Obama had told the Palestinian leader that their conversation was his first with a foreign statesman since taking office. Mr Obama also spoke to President Mubarak of Egypt, Ehud Olmert, the Israeli Prime Minister, and King Abdullah of Jordan.

...
Even before he got to work yesterday, the new Administration had halted all military trials of terror suspects at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba.

It's easier to throw stones rather than examine the content.

I hope this is the main Republican talking point for the election.

I can see it in my mind's eye.

Perry: Do you have an answer to the question, Mr. President?
Obama: Absolutely. My answer is I don't have to explain why I made those calls. Maybe I felt like extending a hand to the world. And maybe, just maybe, we could make some real progress. I'm an educated man, but I'm afraid I can't speak intelligently about your sudden interest in who I called at at what time. What I do know is that I'm the President and I call other people and talk about Presidential stuff. Now, are these the questions I was really called here to answer? Phone calls and Super Bowl menus? Please tell me that you have something more, Mr. Perry . This nation is in a struggle for its very existence. Please tell me you haven't pinned their hopes to a phone bill.
