From Poor Phrasing to Denial in 4 Years

In JULY 2008 – Seeking Jewish votes for election as president, Senator Barack Obama made this statement at AIPAC:

"Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided."

In JULY 2012 – President Obama’s own press secretary Jay Carney would not even acknowledge Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, divided or otherwise.  See him resist incessant questioning.




How asinine or hopelessly assimilated must American Jewish voters be to continue supporting Obama for re-election? 

And how ironic that this deligitimisation of Jerusalem's Jewish status, by it's "unshakeable ally", took place 3 days before Tisha b'Av.
