This is a very wise and very courageous thing for President Obama to do. And in my opinion, is long overdue.

The aircraft carrying the 52 American hostages had cleared Iranian airspace on the first -- first leg of a journey home. And at every one of the 52 hostages was alive, was well and free.

The title was very carefully chosen by me. And the first word is the most important. It's Palestine. The land of the Palestinians. It doesn't refer to Israel at all.

An overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity towards President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man.
