Close attention to Obama's latest words on Israel (More Obama Double-Talking Jive)
ap ^ | 5/22/2011 | ap

President Barack Obama is trying to assuage some of America's fiercest supporters of Israel after he endorsed the Jewish nation's 1967 boundaries as the basis for a Palestinian state and clashed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

In a speech Sunday to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Obama wasn't expected to outline another significant U.S. policy shift but probably would focus on the deep U.S.-Israeli alliance.

But almost everyone in the room wanted to see how the president addresses his remarks from Thursday, when he said that a future Palestine should be shaped around the border lines that existed before Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, with land swaps to account for Israeli settlements and other changed conditions.

Obama's endorsement moved the U.S. position from noting the Palestinian goal for a country based on these terms and leaving the outcome to be settled through negotiation. By removing the nuance, he essentially stated what almost every observer assumed would have to be the border lines of a two-state solution, with mutually agreed adjustments.

Oh, AP now feels entitled to speak for "almost every observer".

He can’t hide from this. The press can try to cover for him but his words were clear and I look forward to Palin hammering him over and over about it. This man is a threat to our nation and allies and cannot be trusted to the duties of office.

Let’s see. In Poland he will reaffirm our commitment, after he threw them under the bus. He will go to Ireland to appease the Boston Catholics because Kennedy is no longer around to do this for him. He will go to England and bring “royal couple barbie dolls” to hand to the queen. And France? He just wants a place where him and moochele can stuff their faces with all that fat, rich food without the eyes of the blogosphere upon them.

In the end, he wants to be as far away from Blago as possible.

Deounce Hamas

Right of return is the Keystone of the destruction of Israel. Just as he is destroying the USA from within he intends the same fate for Israel. Infiltrate assimilate and destroy.

The Arab Muslims loved Obama’s speech advocating pre-1967 borders for Israel. That’s all I need to know

AP should be renamed OP, as in Opinion Pieces.

"Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep,
Now they see me now they don't-
I've come and gone and,
Ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,
Cut a little swathe and lead the people on."

Right out of the gate, Obama’s speech is already all about himself. Unfortunately, Jews will continue to support him as they have been programmed to do.

They should have one of those charts like they do at Jerry Lewis’s telethon every year which shows how much money is pouring into Obama’s re-election campaign from AIPAC at this speech.

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, ME, ME, ME, ME.
These idiots are clapping for the man that wants them dead. No wonder they went so willingly to the gas chambers. Sorry, just calling it like I see it right before my very eyes. I guess Jews are just too trusting.

He is speaking to AIPAC now. I had to leave the room.

Clearly he brought his own cheering section.

Steny Hoyer got the very biggest round of applause when he referred to the 1967 borders as INDEFENSIBLE.

He also stated that he, along with Cantor, will be sure that Israel gets ALL it’s funding.

Hoyer could not have been more opposed to everything said by O.
