This is a despicable act on Obama’s part. Disgraceful!

But the U.S. embassy was never moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in the first place, whose fault was that (real question, not rhetorical)?

"Well, THIS will help get back those wavering DemoJews."

It will NOT be reported.
If it is, it will wrongly blamed on Pres. Bush and Gov. Palin.

Those who Bless Israel will be Blessed, those who curse Israel will be cursed... note how the US mainland is constantly in a pressure cooker; giant and numerous tornadoes, big flooding, unusually high temperatures and our economy is inches away from plummeting over the edge. Almost like what God put on Egypt to force Pharaoh to let his people go... Obama fashions himself like a Pharaoh, dealing harshly with Israel to give up land for “peace”. Obama’s entire adult life has been spent around Israel and Jew haters... talk about America’s chickens coming home to roost, on our heads because of Obama’s policies toward Israel. I used to not believe in modern day judgements from God on nations states... now I can’t help but wonder...

Very misleading headline. This is the same executive order signed by every president since 1995. Congress passed a law moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, but every president have delayed that order on national security grounds

Can you explain this in plain English?

Sec. 3. Timetable.

(a)  Statement of the Policy of the United States.—
(1)  Jerusalem should remain an undivided city in which the rights of every ethnic and religious group are protected.
(2)  Jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of the State of Israel; and
(3)  the United States Embassy in Israel should be established in Jerusalem no later than May 31, 1999.
(b)  Opening Determination.—

Not more than 50 percent of the funds appropriated to the Department of State for fiscal year 1999 for ‘‘Acquisition and Maintenance of Buildings Abroad’’ may be obligated until the Secretary of State determines and reports to Congress that the United States Embassy In Jerusalem has officially opened.

Sec. 7. Presidential Waiver.

(a) Waiver Authority.—
(1) Beginning on October 1, 1998, the president may suspend the limitations set forth in section 3(b) for a period of six months if he determines and reports to Congress in advance that such suspension is necessary to protect the national security interests of the United States.
(2) The President may suspend such limitations for an additional six month period at the end of any period during which the suspension is in effect under this subsections if the President determines and reports to Congress in advance of the additional suspension that the additional suspension is necessary to protect the national security interests of the United States.
(3) A report under paragraph (1) or (2) shall include—
(A) a statement of the interests affected by the limitation that the President seeks to suspend; and
(B) a discussion of the manner in which the limitation affects the interests.
(b) Applicability of Waiver to Availability of Funds.—
If the President exercises the authority set forth in subsection (a) in a fiscal year for the purpose set forth in such section 3(b) except to the extent that the limitation is suspended in such following fiscal year by reason of the exercise of the authority in subsection (a).

Since this provision went into effect in late 1998, all the Presidents serving in office during this period have determined moving forward with the relocation would be detrimental to U.S. national security concerns and opted to issue waivers suspending any action on this front. A re-assessment has to take place every six months however. In response, members of Congress have began to include language to do away with the President's exclusivity in making the determinations or flat-out remove the waiver provision completely from the Embassy Act altogether.

Misleading story, misleading title. Does anyone even do basic research anymore?

See the following:

http://amerisrael.typepad.com/my_weblog/2011/03/stripping-that-stupid-waiver-from-the-jerusalem-embassy-act.html

Move now under way in U.S. House to do just that.
Needs our full support.

Members of Congress took the occasion of the 44th anniversary of the liberation of Jerusalem, “Jerusalem Day”, to introduce the “Jerusalem Embassy and Recognition Act”. This legislation removes that immoral “waiver”.
