Last summer, in the course of a campaign speech reaching out to pro-Israel groups concerned about his commitment to the Jewish state, then presidential candidate Barack Obama declared, "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided." Those words, which he later qualified, may now be coming back to haunt the President as he seeks to restart the moribund Israeli-Palestinian peace process by getting Israel to freeze all construction outside its pre-1967 borders. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has drawn a line in the sand over Jerusalem, vehemently rejecting Washington's demand that he halt a construction project in the Arab eastern portion of the city that was occupied by Israel in 1967. Israel claims sovereignty over all of Jerusalem, and Netanyahu told his Cabinet on Sunday that this claim was nonnegotiable.
(edit)
The problem facing Obama is that pressing for a two-state solution has put him at odds with a reluctant Israeli government that has now chosen the emotive issue of Jerusalem as the test of how far he's willing to go. If he backs down, Obama pulls the plug on his carefully crafted outreach to the Muslim world and can expect to see his effort to settle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict fail before it has practically begun. But pressing ahead on Jerusalem and the wider peace agenda of which it forms part could, like pushing his health-care plan, come at a rising political cost for the President.

I’ll predict right now that Obama will get the disastrous bogus health care bill, and will get Sotomayor on the SCOTUS, just as he’s gotten Cap & Trade, the “stimulus”, the nationalization of two of the Big Three US automakers, various bank de facto nationalizations, various other bailouts/buyouts, driven up US debt 10 per cent in one year, etc. His push for the destruction of Israel — while the Moslem world continues its worldwide campaign of genocide, rape, and gangsterism — is the rock on which his foreign policy will crack wide open and will lead to general war throughout the world.
Obama to Blue Dogs, “YOU’RE GOING TO DESTROY MY PRESIDENCY”

That’s an insult to vaginas EVERYWHERE!!!
Shame on you! From what I hear, HolyO is more like the MALE slang word than the female! Of course, that’s when he’s on ‘home turf’ in the Oval Office blowing off Republicans he’s promised to ‘work with in a bipartisan fashion’—feh!
I place a cyberbet of a bazillion quatloos on GOD and Bibi protecting Israel and HolyO’s defeat of EVERYTHING he tries to do from this day forward!!!
“Komrade Urkel is losing ground on his domestic initiatives and he is going to have to prove what a tough guy he is.”
The whole world is ignoring him, since he ignores their monetary concerns.
He will beat up on Honduras to show he’s a man.
“After that, Bibi seemed to have summed up who Ozero was, and what he really wanted, and then Bibi decided he would have to stand his ground because he can, and because he has to.”
A real shame our representatives don’t have the same insight.
Bibi will kick O’s @$$ all over the place if O messes with Israel.
Get out the popcorn. This one is going to be good, and fun to watch!
Stupid rookie error--trying to act the bigshot by jacking his jaws.
To 0booooooombi --- Do not mess or interfere or oppose or hinder Israel or Jerusalem (under Jewish rule of course). You dumb, ignorant, spiritually dead, immoral reprobate, idiot!!!
Get ‘im, Bibi, babe. Ain’t NOTHING better like a strong leader. Nothing.
I’m sooooooooo tired of metrosexual males in this country.
Have a hissy fit and call Bibi bad names..
Komrade Urkel oh pleasee don’t put poor Steve Urkel with Obama LOL!
That even cold for FR standards LOL!
"I call upon President Obama to knock it off about nationalized health care. It's enough already, nobody wants it. AND, I condemn President Obama's choice of Sotomayor for Supreme Court Justice. She seems like a dumb@ss. AND, I'm warning Obama to quit it with the "stimulus" plans. It's not working and you're just running the U.S. into the ground financially..."
