Obama’s Arafat blunder is an embarrassment for the leader of the free world

The Telegraph:

Obama took part in a joint press conference with President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank under a beaming banner of Yasser Arafat, also known as the “father of modern terrorism”.

President Obama’s first term was littered with embarrassing gaffes abroad, and it looks like his second term will be more of the same. This is in many respects an amateurish presidency, headed by a president who is frequently out of his depth on the world stage, and all too willing to appease America’s adversaries.
