BAIER: Charles, we are just getting word from the Associated Press that President Obama personally intervened to change the Democratic platform language on Jerusalem and God. That is crossing the AP wire. So, obviously, it was important for the Obama campaign to deal with this.

KRAUTHAMMER: Well, if he intervened to have it reinstated, how did he allow his platform to omit it? And I would add, all that was reinstated is the language on Jerusalem. They did not restate language isolating Hamas, about no return to the '67 lines. And the Right of Return. All of that is left out of the platform. Quite troubling for pro-Israel community.

Oh. I think this is a head fake. Now, 0bama will take credit for supporting Israel and Christianity. He made a head fake to let Ohio look like a savior.

Unfortunately, the attendees that support the original planks of the platform appear to actually outnumber those who’ll go along to get along with dear Reader.

I agree completely.

Meanwhile, Israel is told to cool her jets literally, while the Stennis takes a bead on all her missiles.

For a liberal that passes for "devine" intervention.

Hugh Hewitt has played the vote over and over again over 15 times :). They had to vote 3 times and by the 3rd time it sounded like the nays were louder than the yea’s. It was never close to the 2/3rds that they needed. Afterword the crowd booed. The dems don't support God or Israel. Unbelievable.

paralyzing accident ,
Answer:

During his first year of medical School, Dr. Krauthammer dove into a swimming pool, and hit his head on the bottom. He has been confined to a wheelchair ever since. Most people don’t even know he is in a wheelchair. He does not allow his disability to define him.

...how did he allow his platform to omit it?

Because he outsourced the writing of the platform, just like he outsourced everything else about his administration, except for playing golf.

Wow, I didn’t know that. I did the exact same thing when I was a kid—landed square on top of my head, and it hurt like all hell. Looks like it could’ve been a lot worse...

0bama may have intervened to put back the language, but he more than likely didn’t have anything to do with removing it. He is just a pawn, and his handlers don’t tell him everything.

The video of the vote for or against God willl be shown over and over, and it will further sink the Democrats.

60 Senate Seats are possible for the Republicans now.

Krauthammer also said that the Townhall meetings, where citizens hammered the Dems over their attempts to pass Obamacare would hurt Republicans. Also, I think Krauthammer was pretty keen on the Arab Spring.

They can paper over it, and have Democrats shouting ‘boo’ while they reinsert God into the platform, but:

Democrat values and Godly values are not compatible.

That cat is out of the bag, and cant be put back in.
