Did Obama Stick it to Kerry and Purposely Sabotage His "Peace" Efforts Via an Interview With an Israeli Newspaper?

So some claim. But why would he do such a thing?:

There are several theories regarding Obama’s possible motivation for granting the interview, Ma’ariv reported. Some Washington insiders have speculated that the U.S. President is not up-to-date regarding the progress that has been made behind closed doors between Kerry and Netanyahu. As a result, Obama vented his frustration at what he perceives as a peace process that’s at an impasse, Ma’ariv said. 

Another source even claimed that Obama may be jealous of Kerry’s diligence and diplomatic skill, Ma’ariv said. According to this train of thought, the President is compensating for a first term plagued by his own failure to orchestrate a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinian Authority by now taking over the reigns from a Secretary of State who has been praised for his stick-to-it approach.

Sorry to derail the train, but I don't buy it. I don't think Obama was trying to ruin things. I think he was trying to move them along. The fact that it worked about as well as many of his other initiatives has nothing to do with his "jealously" of Kerry (because, trust me, Obama is jealous of no one, and even if he were, Kerry has done nothing to engender any jealously).

In other words and once again: it's the incompetence, stupid.

Update: Obama's M.O.: blame it on Bibi!
