With tension high between the Obama administration and the Israelis, many people were looking toward the president's American Israel Public Affairs Committee appearance to see if he would step back from an apparent stumble during a broad Middle East policy speech earlier in the week.
In his AIPAC speech today, President Barack Obama redressed his remarks in an attempt at retaining American Jewish support levels for his 2012 campaign. In his 2008 campaign, President Barack Obama received 74 percent of the American Jewish vote.
Obama's new version of his Thursday statements on Israel's pre-1967 borders was that he'd been misinterpreted and misquoted in the press. He said the Israelis themselves should be the deciders of border issues or land swaps.

Obama is a Muslim and the Jewish people are catching on. He hates them.
Does he think its 1899 and the only record of his speeches is a transcription?
He’s not even a good liar.
It's all politics to Obama. He doesn't think about anything else, except of course, hurting America's interests at every turn.
Man, he's so brilliant and nuanced that I can't understand a word he says! Good job, BO!
You lie!
Obama forgets since the early 90’s, the lefties don’t control all the media anymore so not all in the media will cover for him like was done for so many years before Rush and others.
Without the corrupt news media covering for him, the Marxist’s approval rating would be at 25% or whatever the hard Left percentage is in this country.
President “which way is the wind blowing” fails to realize that the wind is coming from his butt.
Bunch o’ boobies from J-School. They meant “addressed,” meaning that he referred to them, because he sure didn’t “redress” them (that is, provide compensation to his hearers for them).
After the AIPAC speech, President 0bama had 85% of the Jewish vote.
“TOTUS made me do it”
Bravo Serra!
What he said the first time is exactly what he meant to say. The only reason that he is walking it back is because his first statement was generating adverse political consequences. Does anyone out there really think he would have reversed his position if it was favorably received?
“Obama is a Muslim and the Jewish people are catching on. He hates them”.
Only 26% are smarter than the average bear. The other 74% are still voting for him. The truth will come out when the jack boots atart pounding the turf.
The part about hating Jews doesn't make sense. Look into how many he had in the top tier with his campaign and at least one cabinet appointee, lawyers, etc. Won't name names, look it up for yourself.
I think there is some angst against Netanyahu because he is considered right wing, whatever that would be for Israel.
It was perfectly plain in his speech, but he stopped short of ordering it or threatening to enforce the 1967 borders. We didn't need the press to interpret what he said, so backpeddling now is disingenuous, but then we've come to expect that.
once again he talks out of both sides of his mouth, Al Jazeera had it right, either he act like the muslim he is, or shut up
If J-School was too tough for them, they should have changed their majors to Education.
