| Poll: 91% against Obama imposing deal |
| 2010-04-14 |
| A huge majority of Israelis would oppose an attempt by US President Barack Obama to impose a final-status agreement with the Palestinians, a poll sponsored by the Independent Media Review and Analysis (IMRA) organization found this week. Leading American newspapers reported last week that Obama was considering trying to impose a settlement if efforts to begin indirect proximity talks between Israel and the Palestinians proved unsuccessful. The option was discussed in a meeting with current and former advisers to the White House. Asked whether they would support Obama imposing a plan dividing Jerusalem and removing the Jordan Valley from Israeli control, 91 percent of Israelis who expressed an opinion said no and 9% said yes, according to the poll of 503 Israelis, which was taken by Ma'agar Mohot on Sunday and Monday and had a 4.5% margin of error. |

| #5 Someone is going to have to knock this idiot onto his *ss. I'll settle for him getting his teeth knocked out to the tune of 100 or so seats in November. Seeing him get knocked on his ass would be icing, though. |

| #4 Identity politics maybe? Because Obama is the right *kind* of President, he can do something like that. Bu I don't know- ID politics sort of catches me off guard every time. |

| #3 How the hell could he impose a deal? Invade the west bank? . Because Obama is just another third world, two-bit dictator, that this got himself behind the controls of the worlds only Super Power a year and a half ago. Someone is going to have to knock this idiot onto his *ss. |

| #2 This is a new one on me. How the hell could he impose a deal? Invade the west bank? This makes no damn sense unless it's just wishful thinking on the part of O-worshippers. |
