I'd rather have President Bush in office for another 8 years than to elect Obama.

I'M APPALLED TO KNOW THIS CLOWN IS TOURING AROUND WITH OUR HARD EARNED $$$$$$$$. WHAT A WASTE OF OUR TAX PAYERS $$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Texas Trail Dog: such hate and vemon you spew daily; you reflect the candidate you support!

I am starting to think that Obama is senile and confused and he is -what-46? I can't believe how he forgets what he said previously when reading his obviously prompted statements. He should stop talking about things and JUST LISTEN! He was supposed to be on this trip to fact-find–not make "presidential statements." At least it was touted as such.

Human Right is for All, You can not rub peter to Pay paul.
Drive all the Palestinian into Refuge camp for 50 years
so Jews can live in peace what about that !!!! you kidding me.
Why, don,t we name Israel as America 51th state.
I am wondering why all the attention, America is a multiculture society
and as such, they should support only what make sense.
It seems Terrorist will never end.
Because Injustice promote violence.
And for morons out there, We need a change Palestinian love life as much as the jews do.
The issue of the Jews and Palestinian should be resolve by UN and not false commitiment by Any America president.
Any one who want peace no what to do.
if the free 3-4 billion dollars the jewish state is receiving from America tax payer is not enough? I wish every country in the world received the same amount. May be it only Jewish America pay taxes in America.
We want equal right and justice for humanity includes Palestinian
So, Obama do not be afraid to speak the truth about real peace and not what any Jews want you to say.
You are wrong on this issue………….

Dear Mike, Syracuse, NY-

"Jerusalem will be the capital of Israel." Are you even aware of the issues here, man? Do you not know that Israel took control of East Jerusalem in 1967 (Ever hear of the 6 day war?) and their control of the city was- and still is- disputed by not only the Palestinians but by also the United Nations? Why does Obama say this? Probably because the Israeli control of Jerusalem is key to the existence of Israel, and the United States is committed to protecting the Israel’s right to exist while trying to forge a peace that will last in the region.

Quiet everyone… the messiah is speaking again.

No disrespect but he's hardly his own man. He's a puppet for the moveon.org's, etc.

GAAGGGGGGG Me.

The Arab press is blasting Obama's visit to the Palestinian leaders, citing it as just playing to US voters. Looks like Mr. Billiant struck out with his first visit to the Moslem world. No surprise there.

Super D, how about reading the polls that say that Obama is wayyyyy ahead in teh Jewish vote?

Presidential? Hardly; I bet Obama was hoping he received a Beanie with a propeller on top rather than the Kippah.He definitely would then look the part of the Democratic Presidential presumptive nominee we all know he is. Easier to flip-flop with that propeller.

HEY I am not sure it is appropriate for the Prince of Darkness to wear a Kippah or is he actually wearing a Topi? Looks like a Topi to me.

What a blowhard. The reason he doesn't know what committees he is on in the US Senate is because he is never there long enough to know.

Maybe he should have a mentor like his wife has. For Mr. Obama's knowledge he is not on the banking committee. Nice try hussein but you get no cigars.

You are all hot air and cotton candy with no substance. Now you have to stretch the truth to pump up you lacking resume. WOW

Obama told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee that as president, he would work to bring about a two-state solution, with side-by-side Jewish and Palestinian states – and that "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided."

Riiiight….More nation building. It has worked so well in Iraq, lets get in the middle of the Israelis and the Palestineans.

Oh, bama, how smart you are.

Let's get out of other people's business.

BARR '08

WELL SAID SEN. OBAMA! Of course the far-right-nuts will be attacking and criticizing but that's all they've got.

A vote for McCain is a vote for more war, more dead soldiers, more maimed!

A vote for McCain is continuing to spend $1.38 BILLION A DAY IN IRAQ……….. though now I hearing him say that the troops will be coming home! WHOSE pandering?!

Can you imagine what our nation could do with the $650 BILLION SPENT EACH YEAR IN IRAQ???????????????????????????

And let's not forget the LEGACY OF BUSH/CHENEY: $10 TRILLION IN NATIONAL DEBT. BUT Y' ALL GO AND VOTE FOR MCCAIN!

The other day, UHHBama said:

“Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s.”

Brilliant.

…and they say McCain is losing it.

"I continue to say that Jerusalem will be the capital of Israel."

Does the president of the United States decide where Israel's capital will be located?

"And then there were pickles!" exalted a heaving and breathless Obama after completing his trek up the side of Mount Willie. I wonder how much jerusalem weighs now that Obama weighed in too. I bet he weighs like 115, any takers?

Obama has no clue …. his LIES will catch up with him!

What a bunch of mumbo-jumbo?! I can't tell what he means. Anybody want to take a crack at decyphering what he said?

(Jimmy Carter returns)

You rock B.O

I have always voted for the GOP my whole life and for the first time i can say :It's about time somebody steps uo and draws a clear line in that conflict . not at all what we've been seeing for 8 years ! There is room in that city for those 2 nations. While Mc Cain is still having hallucinations about Tchecoslovakia , you 're dealing with real problems out there !
Can't wait for you to be president and help this matter resolved !
Gad saves this candidate!

I have more respect for Madam Secretrary of State Rice. Firstly, she is the epitome of everything Black. From Civil Rights to Patroitism. She knows where to draw the line as an individual. A great American Model of modern times in America. I would like to see her finish off strongly to the finish line. Obamania is wanning…..zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Go home!

I can't say I agree with Obama on this one, but one need not agree with their preferred candidate 100% of the time to still happily vote for him. At least he's smart enough to leave the details like this up to the Israelis and Palestinians themselves. McCain would be yet another tragedy to befall an already tragic region.

Flip-flopping and playing with words…..again. What an opportunist and chameleon we have in Obama! He changes everything he says depending on what audience he's trying to play.

A chameleon and a player! Yup!

Was for Hillary, now for McCain!

PUMA

Baruch is looking good in a Yamaka!

Barack Hussein Obama stay in the Middle East you seem more comfortable there and you are closer to your Muslim roots.

Is that just a bad angle on something behind him in the picture, or is he wearing a yarmulke?

Nice yarmulke!

OBAMA 08!

seems to me me, this is one lobby he will not mess with ha ha .

Obama. The Houdini of changing position and escaping the liberal media scrutiny.

McPain has nothing more to do.. Obama acheived everything in 1 trip, which McCain could not acheive in several trips.
McCain goes there as a Gold Digger
Obama went there as a true Leader
OBAMA (2008 -16)

Jerusalem should remain undivided despite the fact that the Temple Mount is Judaism's holiest site, much of the media has stressed its importance to Muslims (the third holiest behind Mecca and Medina) while ignoring or downplaying the very legitimate Jewish religious and historical connection to the site, which precedes Muslim attachments by 1500 years. Despite ridiculous Palestinian claims that a Jewish Temple never existed on the site (which would negate both Jewish and Christian history), its identity with the location of Solomon's Temple is beyond dispute. I think Barack has great affection for Israel, lets not forget that Kenya the birth place of Obama's father and Israel have enjoyed a strong and fruitful relationship based on mutual friendship, respect and trust.
Also there is a very small Jewish community prospering in Nairobi
today.I do have too admit that Barack Hussein Obama does look
quite Noble wearing a yamika.

Shabbat Shalom

I LOVE THIS PHOTO…!!!

Barack is very Presidential and will be a honest & GREAT Leader for America and all American's of the United States..

Yes..>WE<…Can….

Obama's jerusalem positioning game…see if and when you can hit a moving target…its fun! undivided jerusalem….2 days later divided jerusalem…..2 weeks later, undivided jerusalem. What will the position be next week? next month? take your guess and at any given moment in time you'll have a 50% chance of being right

I support Obama, BUT, his sucking up to Israel is pathetic. He will do anything to show he's not Muslim.

I hate politicians.

BTW – no offense meant, I really just can't tell if that was a yarmulke in the picture, but I wasn't trying to make fun of it if it was…

Thank you CNN for this picture. Obama looks "cute" in his yamika. Now show this over and over as you did when the picture of him in native Somali garb came out and we Obama supporters will call it even.

This is a 'Man of the World'. He demostrates what Peace and Calm is truly about. The Majority of the World -can't be wrong.
GOD BLESS YOU, SENATOR OBAMA/PRESIDENT OBAMA.

This is campaign trip through and through! And Obama will come back from it touting all his "foreign policy" experience . . .can't wait to here it. Oh, and his concert, I mean acceptance speech at the stadium . . something about his whole campaign smells funny . . .

Does he have a yarmulke on his head?! Or is that his halo? lol

THe Hispanic community will understand and recognize that Senator Obama is an average politician that makes customized promises of change everywhere he goes in order to get the votes of that community.

His actions proved that he does not care about achieving or meeting his goals as the asbestos project he was involved in in Chicago shows.

Obama is moving to the center now and will sacrifice his positions with the ledt wing of the Democratic Party to appeal to the center and some right wing voters.

Is this the change we want: It is not. We do not want this arrogant person in the white house.

Please bring back Hillary Clinton

CNN,,,,Where is the story about "Iran poses a great Threat" ,,, comments by Obama. Hope it doesn't cost him the Iranian Votes.

Flip-Flop. Flip-Flop.

Shouldn't these two countries just become one and declare Jerusalem the capital of that one country? Or better yet make Jerusalem a country by itself that doesn't belong to Israel or Palestine?

He also said that Iran was a small country and not a threat and now today he says that Iran is a grave threat. Which one is it Obama?

Flip Flopping again I see.

Why is he wearing a Jewish head cap?

CNN–THIS ARTICLE IS AN INSULT TO ALL JEWISH PEOPLE!!

Jews people will be idiot to vote for obama. the gay is fake,fake

Talk about walking a tight rope! He's trying to appease both sides and that's a virtual impossibility.
Since both sides claim it and at least 3 major religions (Christianity, Judaism and Islam) have deep ties to this city, I'd suggest making it a sort of neutral zone or demilitarized zone – kind of an independent city/state. That would hack off all involved, which probably means it would work.

This trip of Obama's is one big turn-off. It's blatently a promotional tour for photo opportunities. We have inflated gas prices, inflated grocery prices and an inflated candidate – thanks to a very, very biased media. Obama is the image candidate – watch the flip-flops increase after this trip. John McCain needs to do a campaign ad showing a split screen of Obama vs. Obama – talking out of both sides of his mouth. If McCain misses this opportunity – how will he lead a country? The problem with John McCain – he's too complacent. The problem with Obama – he's a wishy-wash. Two duds. Hillary, where are you?

Please vote for McCain. I make WMD's for a living and with the economy the way it is im afraid Ill lose my job.

Obama is brilliant!!! Peace is patriotic and world is beginning to realize this!! NO MORE WARS!!!! Use diplomacy and not "cowboy diplomacy" that if you don't what we want we will bomb you which has been Bush's form of diplomacy and McCain is following in Bush's footsteps. Again–NO MORE WARS!!!

Nice hat, Obama. Now you have a dual personality set … one to use when you go to visit the Muslims so you can fit in with them and one to use when your go to visit the Jews so you can be at One with them. Got a soldier's cap to use when go to visit the troops so you can fit in with them too? Maybe a sombrero when you campaign in front of Latinos? We get it. You're not a lapel pin kind of guy. Hats are what you use to fit in wherever you go.

Will say and do anything to get elected!!!

his weight is fine,for his height.hes not even fat at all.

Why is he wearing that stupid hat in the photo?

Won't wear the American flag—is a Christian–but will prostitute himself to wear Jewish head cover?

What a political prostitute.

He never says what he doesn't say when he flubs it up, this guy talks in circles and democrats voted for this idiot!

Go Obama Goooooooo!!!
BARACK THE VOTE !!!

I think John Lennon had it right in "Imagine."

Too many people have been killed in the name of things that no one can clearly define, much less prove to exist.

Nice hat.

Another photo op.

OBAM is the biggest flip-flopper around. McCain and OBAMA ARE HORRIBLE CANDIDATES.

Ya know he's such a bigot like most presidents we've had but we need Isreal they all kiss up.
That's why they make so many slips when talking about the
subject of jews because they don't usually mean what there
saying.

I AM AN AMERICAN JEW.

JEWS & PALESTINIANS NEED TO SOLVE THEIR OWN

PROBLEMS WITH ALL THE HELP WE CAN GIVE THEM.

WE CAN'T DO IT, NOR SHOULD WE TRY. IT WILL WORK

WHEN BOTH SIDES ARE COMMITTED TO IT. THERE HAS

TO BE GIVE ON BOTH SIDES. NO SIDE WILL GET ALL THEY

WANT, NO MATTER HOW MANY RIGHT WINGERS PROPOSE IT.

IT AIN'T GONNA BE EASY & IT AIN'T GONNA BE QUICK.

All the World Leaders Obama has met with are giving him High Praise! I have been watching all his speeches and Obama you are doing just soooooo good.! MSame doesn't even come close & MSame is becoming even more confused & frustrated because of Obama's success & he is making error after error each time he speaks. Barack Obama for President 08-16

McCain is complaining that Obama gets too much coverage; the media is complaining that Obama is not making himself accessible to the media. I think the media should cover McCain: McCain sees boarders where no one else sees them (Iraq and Afghanistan); he bashed Obama for supposedly getting the facts wrong about the timeline between the surge and the Iraqis decision to kick Al Qaeda out, whereas McCain is actually the one who gets the "history" wrong; he does not know that Iraqis and Al Qaeda do not agree religiously.

I think the media should cover McCain.

"First of all I did not change my statement that Jerusalem should remain undivided."

I simply failed to mention it. In front of an Israeli audience. Where it could cost me Jewish votes come November.

Picture worth a thousand words!

Or we could mind our own business, take care of the people and infrastructure of the U.S., and lead by example.

Just a thought.

Great photo! Thanks for putting it up, CNN.

The man with no past,other than a Religious Triangle???

Why doesn't he just stay over there and run those countries????

Obama, you neophyte in a nice suit, stop telling the world where 'we' stand. You don't represent the American people, you selectee of the undemocratic Democratic Party. Shut up and learn something.

NotFallingInLine.org

Another flip-flop goes unchallenged. Are we witnessing the politics of hope? More like the politcs of dope. Change, we can believe… that he will change his stance with whatever direction the wind blows. Sounds like politics as usual.

all that this proves is, AIPAC is lethal to democracy.

All I can say is God be with you President Obama . Connie from Indiana

Rejoice, rejoice America for in the Holy Land upon a hill your

"MESSIAH" declared himself ! Let him be known as:

"BARACK OBAMA" the great….and he shall overrule you with

an iron fist…..down with your Military Commanders and take ye

your rank and file with you…from this time forward he will lead

invisible armies and the world will obey…..!!

'GO FORTH MEDIA AND SPREAD HIS WORD…!

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

the future belong to the young! Amen.

GO BO!!!

yes, but will Israel be a caliphate?

an attempt to smear obama ,again.boring…….

Hey, headline news:

The genius just figured out that an Iran nuclear build-up is a threat.

Who knew?

Obama is the man – the leader of the 21st century!

it's a breath of fresh air after a president like Dubya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we need this guy…seriously!

Obama Without a Teleprompter:

OBAMA: Well, let me — let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under a McCain government — administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change.

Why is he wearing a kippah? Is he now Jewish? I thought he was Christian? Are Christians supposed to wear kippah's if visiting Israel? What is the deal here?

I would like to ask Mr. Obama if he is saying " Jerusalem will be the capital of Isreal", as a senator or as a nomminee for president of the United states. If he is saying as a nominee it is okay becuase he will not be a part of the negociation process, but if he is saying it as a nominee he already took side and can not be accepted by the Palestinians. Mr Obama make your stand clear.

The man is an arrogant fool.

Lets see if I get this right:

The Palestinians deserve their own state (knowing full well how they feel about Jerusalem).

We will support Israel (knowing how they feel about Jerusalem).

We shouldn't sector Jerusalem?

So who gets Jerusalem?

The situation with Jerusalem was caused by Obama and it is all his fault. Global Warming problem? Obama. Hurricane Dolly? Obama's fault. High gas prices? Blame Obama. Poor economy? Obama's fault.

So now let the Obama trashing begin…

It's Obamania baby…Obama is nearly everywhere today on the internet, except FOX NEWS. FOX NEWS is still chasing their tails with the false story about McCain's VEEP Selection This Week.

The Isreal Palestinian confilict is obviously a very tough one to resolve. However, Obama is willing to sit down with BOTH sides and discuss the issues with each in order to acquire an understanding of their disagreements. They will find Obama to be intelligent and amiable to deal with and at the very least, they will be open for any future Obama suggestion that can lead to settlement of their dispute.
I for one think, that after Obama becomes President of the United States of America, he will then be in a position to work out agreeable terms and a path to peace that will benefit both sides.

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

These are the kind of comments that alienate America from the rest of the world. America's bias towards Isreal is well know and they should stop pretending to be negotiators. We need to let the 2 nations resolve it themselves or have a more neutral power step in.

Wait I read the entire article and Obama talks about Iran getting nukes…how is that possible, Obama and the desm have been screaming for months that Iran isn't working on nukes….I guess that's another example of the Desm trying to have it both ways….it's a good thing we are not as stupid as the left wing dems think we aer.

Further proof Sen. Obama has no clue about Israeli/Palestinian relations. Nothing will happen until the United States stops supporting Israel. Saying it's up to them to decide while making claims such as this is foolish. Pick a side, which the United States have done and Sen. Obama/Sen. McCain supports; or stay neutral and encourage talks between the two. You can't do both. And only one choice will lead to peace. It's the one supported by Ralph Nader.

** Nader/Gonzalez 2008 **

"poor phrasing" OR JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF TELLING PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR and flip-flopping afterwards

hope … change … just what people want to hear, lol IT'S WHAT WE WANT TO SEE, NOT HEAR and we aren't ever going to see it from you, are we Obama?

"If Barack Obama had had his way, the Sheiks who started the Awakening would have been murdered at the hands of al Qaeda, and US forces would have already left Iraq in defeat," he added.

A better statement is if Barack Obama had his way 4200 Americans would be alive today. Also 4 trillion dollars would have benn saved, gas prices would have been lower. Further al Qaeda would not have been in Iraq and maybe just maybe OBL would have been killed or captured.

There is no question the Obama if elected will work just as hard to build a bridge between the palastine and jewish state. Obama 2008!

Who does Obama think he is. He's acting like he's already the president. This trip was in bad taste, he's not running for office over there.He should be in the states worring about our problems. the AUDICITY OF HIM TO CONCLUDE SO MUCH. I'm surprised he's not visiting the 57th state.

Jerusalem should not be divided by walls and barbed wire like Berlin was during the cold war.

There is nothing, to be gained by looking at history; it seems to keep "repeating" itself, over and over again……………..no matter, how you look at it………………you can't change it, it's history…….already! Watch and prepare for the future; and deal with it as it comes! That's the best , it's going to get!

Under President Obama their will be a two states solution between Israel and Palestine.

As Prince of Peace he will set serious talks b/w the two parties to achieve peace in the Middle East. One thing tough, no alcool should be serve this time so that their can be real talk.

Obama 08 & 12.

Flip Flop,
Flip Flop
This is what we can expect from here on in…he's a politician and for some reason people have forgotten that and made him someone that he is not…

The right wing noise machine will always try to throw a monkey wrench but Obama is consistant with what he is saying..dont let the right wing fool you.

Should be interesting……two states claiming the same capital.

Obama is NOT our leader how about he shut up until he has some power… Same with McCain…

What a work! Mr. Right can't admit he flubbed, rather he applies the same typical political spin methodology – as he said "we immediately tried to correct the interpretation"

Now it occurs that we currently have someone like this in the WH – arrogant Mr. Right would be no change at all. We need someone with just a tad bit of humility, an ability to admit ones' mistakes! Not another "I'm always right", "you just misunderstood me" loser!

this is about the comments made about senator mccain's picking a running mate-why is so hard for so called "liberals" to be liberal and adult enough to call an honorable man by his correct name.

Obama presence in Israel was obviously very uncomfortable, he looked and sounded angry, his body language tells a whole other story, at one point he was outright rude, temper ,temper.. easily set off , he remarked at someone asking a question " Why don't you tell your buddy to speak up " He was unable to follow a two part question, those darn index cards with his advisors writtings were tripping him up , very revealing, regardless, he will tell Jewish leaders what they want to hear, it's his actions is what we have to worry about , that old line actions speak louder than words could'nt be more true.

Maritza

Sounds to me like he is straddling the fence again. Wait until you see how the political winds blow then decide what to do with Jerusalem.

Don't worry about upsetting your supporters they will do whatever you tell them to do and march happily down the street of oblivion.

I love it, Demos are in La La Land and have no one to blame but themselves.

Thank God he is not yet the candidate and the Convention can still put
Hillary as their Candidate. She is the only one that has a chance to win in November.

In my opinion these remarks will not solve the ME problem.
This is contrary to any mandates and UN resolutions….but since when US and Israel abides by them anyway…..

the problem with the media is that they want to squeeze evertyhing into a soundbite or headline. it worked with george w because he had very few thoughts on anything.

it does not work with Sen Obama because he's intelligent and thoughtful. try to keep up cnn or maybe hire some more intelligent reporters so they can get it right.

THIS CONTINUES TO BE LAUGHABLE.

MCCAIN THREW DOWN THE GAUNTLET OF NOT VISITING IRAQ OR THE MIDDLE EAST AND NOW HE'S CRYING BECAUSE OBAMA NOT ONLY PICKED IT UP, BUT IS SLAPPING HIM AROUND WITH IT!!

HE AND HIS CAMPAIGN CAN ONLY BLAME THEMSELVES THAT OBAMA IS REPRESENTING HIMSELF AND AMERICA WELL AND LOOKING PRESIDENTIAL.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR MCCAIN. YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT.

BHO is NOT for for anything Jewish. He has been taught for 20 years by the REV. Wright and the Black theology.

In short – Obama says nothing.

It makes me happy and proud that Obama is experiencing Israel and making positive strides with both the Jews and Palestinians there. I agree that Jerusalem should remain undivided so that we continue to strive for civilized unity and not violent, walled separation.

Thank you, Obama. You are acting presidential, and I applaud you!

Also, I was moved to see Obama's photo at Yad Vashem.

Go Obama, go!!! Obama in 2009!

Does "experience" mean sitting in the senate for decades and backing failed Bush policies over the last 8 years?

The surge worked period. Yet Obama stubbornly refuses to admit this fact. We don't need another stubborn – refuse to listen to anyone else President. We need someone with an open mind who will admit it when he's wrong and be open to new ideas. Send this slick politician back to Chicago in November!

I was sick of the 2000 "media clown."

His name was John McCain.

No one on Earth can decide Jerusalems status,but Obama better decide to prosecute anyone found guilty of committing crimes in the present administration before he takes office or he wont get my vote.No pardons for any reason.Pelsosi didnt have the guts.

Just more of the same ole salt and pepper BS.

This man speaks with a forked tongue so twisted and convoluted, that only rubic's cube master can untangle his statements. It's all designed so he can backtrack, restate, update, make clear, reverse course, define a new approach without taking a hit for it, and you all are buying into it. First he says Jerusalem WILL be the capital, undivided. Then, he says it shouldn't be divided, then he states it should be up to the parties involved! Well, why is he injecting himself into the situation if it's up to the parties involved? Does he bring any clarity to the issue? NO!! Just more jibberish. Exactly the sort of double and quadruple talk you can expect from him if elected. And make no mistake, he already considers himself CROWNED Cult Master in Chief.

DON'T LET THIS ANTI-CHRISTIAN HAVE A HAND IN ANY DECISION MAKING PERTAINING TO ISRAEL. THE MAN IS A CRAW FISH HE CRAWLS BACKWARDS ON EVERY STATEMENT HE MAKES. BESIDES HE PARTAKES IN USING GOD'S NAME IN VAIN BREAKING ONE OF THE TEN COMMANDANTS. AND INSIDE A CHURCH OF ALL PLACES.

I do not have any doubt Obama is going to bring peace to the Israeli and Palestinian people ,so they can live in peace and harmony next to each other after all history tells us they are the same people decendents of Abraham with different views. In fact we are all same in the eyes of the Almighty God.

So when Obama misspeaks it's "Poor Phrasing," and when McCain mispeaks it's because of his age or some other contrived reason.

If Obama thinks that these phony overseas photo Op's are going to change the fact that he has no foreign policy experience he's sadly mistaken.

Now, suddenly, he is dissing the very people he said we should be sitting down and talking with???

I know Obama wants to appear centrist in order to win over the jews and bitter rural folk, but come on, what happened to diplomacy and being an honest broker???

This is why you have my vote. Go Obama!!

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
I don't see how he's changing his statement. He's reiterating that he wants Jerusalem to be individed but also recognizing that it's not his or America's decision to make.

*undivided, my mistake

Obama knows nothing. Jerusalem SHOULD BE a divided capital and SHOULD be the capital to both the Israelis and the Palestinians. There is too much history in Jerusalem to let it be taken over solely by a Jewish state. Although the U.S. foreign policy with Israeli caused all of the current mayhem in the world in regards to an Arab conflict, I believe that if Obama wants to clinch the nomination as president he should choose a stand in this issue. And by stand I mean choosing either a solely Jewish state or two independent states: an Israel and a Palestine.

I don't see how he's changing his statement. He's reiterating that he wants Jerusalem to be individed but also recognizing that it's not his or America's decision to make.

This is EXTREMELY counter productive statement to make, and undermines any influence Obama may have had with Palestinians. If he had kept his mouth shut he could have used his influence when elected to bring both sides to a table and work out a compromise. But now he has dug into the traditonal, Evangelical, George Bush position on the issue.

If anything I think this demonstrates his lack of experiance in foreign affairs.

For all those that have spread rumor and innuendo about Senator Obama's position on Israel, for those that said he was not a friend of Israel and for those that called him inexperienced. He has made it perfectly clear that as an American we are allied with Israel but even more importantly as a Black man in America he demonstrates that which has always been. The Jewish community and the Black American community have always had strong ties of support for decades. Any disagreements between the two over the course of those years are normal for close companions. OBAMA 08

Obama is not going to get a single Jewish vote in the election. They see right through his transparent comments. This will wind up costing him Florida and his only shot at winning the election.

"Jerusalem will be the capital of Israel"

Thanks for clarifying that Obama. I was afraid they were going to switch to San Diego. Why not say Washington will be the capital of the US? Jerusalem is ALREADY the capital of Israel, and anyway, who are you to make these decisions? It's up to the Israelis and Palestinians.

Obama and McCain have both sold out to the military-industrial complex and have pledged loyalty to AIPAC and are following the script of dealing with Iran. Come on people, these guys are both robots for the elite.

Ooops….another Obama gaffe……….but it's ok because we all just merely "misunderstood" him. What he really meant was………..

How many times does he get away with all of his totally ignorant statements? This guy is a total buffoon. Mark my words…before he is done he will make GW Bush look like Einstein.

I love this man – he's trying to help bring peace.

McWarmonger is on a rampage to stir up more trouble every day. McWarmonger wants us in wars – bullying like Bush. tHE LIES ARE UNENDING !!!!! THE PROPAGANDA USED BY MCWARMONGER'S CAMPAIGN IS SHAMEFUL.

Go Obama '08 HOPE WE CAN BELIEVE IN

regarding McCain VP….
this is the most desperate miss managed disaster of a campaign i have ever witnessed. who ever he picks better watch out for the McGaffe affect…every time he opens his mouth he seems to say something dumber than before, just when you thought it could get no worse….he does it again. from Iran to his whining about the media. God i can not wait until November, i hope people can really see McCain might have done a great job in 2000 when he still had full mental capacity but the McCain of 08 is suffering from a tragic "mental recession"

Obama is looking very presidential.
