President Obama acts like a petulant child.
I am sure that he did not order the platform changed, despite Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s claims. Rather, some political guide — Axelrod? Plouffe? — urged that the change be made.
Shortly before, and even the day after, the change in the platform, the President’s press secretary was unwilling to go on record with the identity of the city that President Obama believes is Israel’s capital.

Obama is doing his best to render Israel defenseless while helping to radicalize the Middle East under the Muslim Brotherhood and in particular taking no action to hinder Iran’s crusade to develop a nuclear bomb with the expressly stated intention of using it against Israel.
In other words, the plank is “words, just words” to our child President, and he is going to go about his business of destroying Israel’s geopolitical security as aggressively as he can.
