WASHINGTON (AFP) — On the eve of his major address to Muslims, President Barack Obama faced criticism at home Wednesday from some fellow Democrats who believe he has gone too far in pressuring Israel to freeze settlements.
"I think the president went beyond where I think it was appropriate for us to go in dealing with another democracy," said Democratic Representative Anthony Weiner.
"Any conversations about settlements, which are perfectly reasonable, have to be coupled with a sincere effort on the part of the Palestinians."
His comments were an unusual rebuke by Democrats of Obama, who has popularity ratings north of 60 percent, and points to the broad support Israel enjoys in both parties in Congress.

Republican in there too, but he doesn't get a headline.
Hope Weiner enjoys mopping bathrooms for the rest of his time on Capitol Hill.
LOL! Democrats defending the stealth Hamas usurper and Saudi errand boy. 78% of American liberal Jews voted for Hussein. Ditoo 57% of Notre Dame abortion loving “Catholics.”
all these issues which bozo is seeing to overturn and pay offs are not popular by the majority and yet he has high approval ratings
why?
Because the state run media try to twist these issues and then do not tell their viewers that it is bozo and the Dem party who are doing it.
sickening and it is us who has to get the word out about this clown, even simple comments while standing in line at a coffee shop like what oabma is sucking up to the islamic world again
or
what obama is taking over another company with our tax money I am fed up if this and I voted for him, never again
the more the people hear others are pissed off the more the sheep will follow
staying silent is doing nothing same as just us talking to each other letting off steam on here
Hopefully one day the Jews and so called catholics will actually wake up and catholics can follow their faith again instead of being sheep to bozo and the state run media
And Israelis have special military units [מבצע זעם האל, Mivtza Za'am Ha'el] that play for keeps. 'Nuff said.
The Catholics await the same fate after 65% voting for him. They will be looking out from under the bus soon enough.
I think the bankers and other business leaders are already under the bus that voted for him.
I pray America wakes up soon.
I’m still wondering what “FUBO” looks like in Hebrew.
But Michelle Obama is Crying Already !
Over Barry's secret gay love life. Allegedly the other guy just published a tell all book.
So much for that.
We have a weiner, er, winner. :)
Does the Prime Minister head the cabinet? I thought he was the head of the government.
Though it's not about Jews, those weren't Jewish recruiters shot the other day, who is we? Not only didn't the GOP go near the issue, couldn't even say his famous middle name, John McCain assured the nation the nation would be as safe with BHO in the Oval Office as with him. It simply wasn't an issue.
Essentially, though since cabinet are from different political parties, issues are more contentious. I think they're subject to the PM's direction, but they serve at the pleasure of their party as well, and their party can bring the government down if they don't like the direction. Or damage individual's politically by downgrading their party ranking.
By the same token, Catholics voted for a sodomite baby killer. Go figure.
