| Ma'ariv avers that the Obama White House wasted precious time in harping on the settlements issue and writes: "A comprehensive peace within two years, that's what Obama's people said in the first weeks. Now they are beginning to understand where they have gone to and where they have fallen. They also understand that it is impossible to halt a 40-year false culture in four months. And there is no chance of freezing life for 300,000 people. What will they do now? They have no real idea. They will climb down from the tree. Now they will also need to bring Abu Mazen down from it and lead him to the summit in New York. After that, they will need to organize a package of Arab gestures." The author believes that the Obama administration is still trying to decide about both President Peres' plan for a Palestinian state with temporary borders and Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad's economic plan, "neither of which should be eulogized prematurely. One does need to eulogize the American arrogance that has marked the past six months, as well as Barack Obama's grandiose aspirations. He will soon discover that the people who ran his campaign are not necessarily those who need to run the world for him."
