Um, yes. Yes he did. Just yesterday, in fact, during a joint press conference with the president of Spain:
POTUS on #Iran: now is not the time to impose new sanctions.. says now is the time to give diplomacy a chance, "to give peace a chance"

It sounds even stupider when you hear him actually say it (via The Right Scoop):
Conservative radio host Tony Katz couldn’t believe his ears, either:
What kind of child do we have running the country? Give peace a chance? What next, we buy the world a Coke?

And he took President Peacenik to the woodshed for a sound verbal throttling:
Mr. President. Instead of give peace a chance, how about we #giveamericansachance to find a job (90+ million out of workforce)
— Tony Katz (@tonykatz) January 14, 2014
How about we #giveamericansachance by getting rid of failed #commoncore standards?
— Tony Katz (@tonykatz) January 14, 2014
Can we #giveamericansachance by getting rid of #obamacare and letting people get their insurance back?
— Tony Katz (@tonykatz) January 14, 2014
Can we #giveamericansachance by fracking more and bringing back the Keystone pipeline?
— Tony Katz (@tonykatz) January 14, 2014
Amen! Asinine song lyrics aren’t going to fix the problems Americans are facing.
And they’re definitely not going to persuade a country like Iran to lay down its weapons and sing “Kumbaya.”
@tonykatz He thinks he's Michael Douglas or Martin Sheen. Everything he says is scripted, so someone thought that was a clever line.

@MissMarple2 clever? The president said "Give Peace A Chance" abt a nation that wants to destroy other nations. Its not clever, it's denial!
