Barack Obama’s flip-flops are getting closer together; now he’s “clarifying” points he made just a day ago: Obama clarifies united J’lem comment.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama did not rule out Palestinian sovereignty over parts of Jerusalem when he called for Israel’s capital to remain “undivided,” his campaign told The Jerusalem Post Thursday.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama addresses AIPAC Policy Conference 2008, Wednesday.

“Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided,” Obama declared Wednesday, to rousing applause from the 7,000-plus attendees at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference.

But a campaign adviser clarified Thursday that Obama believes “Jerusalem is a final status issue, which means it has to be negotiated between the two parties” as part of “an agreement that they both can live with.”

The fact that Obama fumbles Israel shows he does not support Israel. Who fumbles things they are passionate about?

I dunno about you, but it seems as if this guy has been corrected by and asked by someone to correct his statements again.

This guy seems to be under the control of a so called "Puppetmaster."

Exactly. It sounds as if Mr. Obama may have chosen his “campaign adviser” using the same judgment he used to chose his minister and other “friends”.

My faith in Obama making gaffes and stepping in it daily is restored. ;-)

The Islamist Hamas movement that rules the Gaza Strip slammed a speech by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Wednesday, saying it confirmed US "hostility" to Arabs and Muslims.

Hamas hits out at Obama

Nothing like a Presidential candidate that stands up to terrorists.

He may have to get a Bigger Bus??

Definitely bigger wheels to make it sit higher...I have a feeling he'll be throwing more people under that bus before this thing is over.

Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel,

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought Senor Smoke and Mirrors Obama’s folks were already meeting with Hamas to decide how to divide up Israel.

Oh, don't forget Rezko and Father what's-his-name!! It's already crowded under that bus. Not to even mention the fact that he would sure like to perform a “hit and run” on Hillary.

It depends on what your definition of “divided” is...

Lordy, I don't think the “appeasement” is exclusive to Iran. It seems to be anyone/anything Muslim.

I've been following this and thinking about the Libs that pilloried Pres Bush, calling him an idiot ... parodying him with "misunderestimated" ... he can't talk ... yada, yada, yada.

Yesterday he mispoke again!?? After his "I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it.” 60 states? who knew?

And today he "... confused the word "inhaler" with "breathalizer." And "Then he called it an "inhalator."

karma ... Dems chickens, coming home to roost!
