Seeing the coverage of yesterdays major address by President Barack Obama, it was like there were two speeches; the one he actually gave, and the one that some were reacting to. Its essential to know what he said, and what he didnt.
Its laughable to suggest that President Obama insisted Israel return to 1967 lines, or that he said anything different from the policies of Presidents Bush and Clinton before him.

Obama did however equate a Jew who was murdered by terrorists to Palestinians who were killed by accident when Israel attacked terrorists in Gaza per http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/05/19/remarks-president-middle-east-and-north-africa
We see that spirit in the Israeli father whose son was killed by Hamas, who helped start an organization that brought together Israelis and Palestinians who had lost loved ones. That father said, I gradually realized that the only hope for progress was to recognize the face of the conflict. We see it in the actions of a Palestinian who lost three daughters to Israeli shells in Gaza. I have the right to feel angry, he said. So many people were expecting me to hate. My answer to them is I shall not hate. Let us hope, he said, for tomorrow.
Jewish Leftists manage to find new depths to the notion of denial.
sounds like damage control to me...
Jews like Einstein and others got out in the 1930's while you hear stories of Wealthy Jewish family members still looking today for Paintings that were taken by the Nazi's
They had the means to leave but they were making money and he didn't mean what he said, he only wrote a book about it.
What Jew wouldn't be looking to move after Hitler was elected.
"The dream of a Jewish and democratic state cannot be fulfilled with permanent occupation," the president said in a wide-ranging, Mideast speech at the State Department.
"The United States believes that negotiations should result in two states, with permanent Palestinian borders with Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and permanent Israeli borders with Palestine. The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states."
Nor will there ever be a good time.
Israel existed long before a still non existent "Palestine People"
BOOM! Obama abandoned Israel right there. If they are attacked, we will not help.
But, hey, nothing to see here at all ...
So we all ‘mis-heard’ and Netanyahu mis-heard.
Okay. got it
No, he didn't. He praised the parents of both people, for how they handled the deaths. Still a poor comparison (note, for example, that the Israeli father actually did something as opposed to the Palestinian), but it's wrong to say he equated the deaths. There's more than enough to criticize about 0bama without distorting his words.
It is utterly astonishing (to me) that some “heard” a completely different speech. Here you have a jewish writer telling us, that what we heard was not, what we heard.
And in 2012, this dimwitted bas*ard will run out and vote for Obama...again.
I actually thought this crap wouldn’t start till Sunday.
Very much the same denial of the battered wife syndrome.
Absolute denial used as an emotional defense mechanism is pityful to watch.
I’ve been wondering how the WH and their lackeys would try to frame this train wreck. Zer0 has just received a monumental smackdown from a visiting head of state and now they’re trying to claim the boy-king really didn’t say what he said.
I’d wager these talking points are being relayed to many lib groups and individuals the WH feels might hold sway in the Jewish community as that speech yesterday was just an unmitigated disaster on several fronts as Caroline Glick has pointed out.
What these guys do, invest 30 pieces of silver two thousand years ago to pay for all this left wing crap. What will they do if AchmaWhackJob builds a nuke? Cry to BO? He’ll be golfing.
That's exactly what Kirstin Powers just said on Hannity.
Bamster has had a massive smackdown from the psychic energy of any friend of freedom who heard or read his words.
He has crossed a line here that he cannot un-cross.
People sense it - whcih explains this type of “you didn’t hear what you heard” type response - because - of course - if we did hear what we heard - Obama is a traitor to Freedom.
Obama - IS - the Enemy of Freedom. And we all know it now.
As Steyn noted - it is Czechoslovakia 1938. Obama has put us in a state of war for Freedom.
I guess Mr. Harris will say Netanyahu was mistaken today too after meeting with Dear Leader?
I agree with you. They thought Hitler guy would not bother them if he .
There were those who wanted to return to Egypt after the Exodus, too. In any group of people there are those who haven’t a clue.
Who are you going to believe, David Harris or your lying ears?
