Would like to have been a fly on the wall when they did talk.

Islamic bloc in UN is stronger than Obama, Palestinians can have a good laugh at him. Despite the billions in aid hi gives them.

This question over Palestinian statehood will give Obama his first opportunity(although he has neglected several over the years) to actually be a player in the international world.

Allan, I think that Palestinians are publicly rejecting Obama as a player in the international world, and are demonstrating that they can better rely on Islamic bloc and win in UN. This will show that Obama's outreach policy will be a complete failure, and respect for authoritarianism is still high is some parts of the world.
