NC sez: Some of my Jewish friends who are died hard Obamunist fans support him , as one reason, because Obama made a statement at the AIPAC that he will stand firm for an UNDIVIDED Jerusalem. Well, not so fast! Obama is now back peddling on this one because he is an anti-culturalist, and all the A-RABS had to do was start screeching and the true leadership of the Obamunator came out with the John Kerry walk. I think it’s time to give Obama the Dhimmi Award for his stellar leadership skills under pressure, folding like a lawn chair!

(IsraelNN.com) Barack Obama, the Democratic party’s nominee for U.S. President, retracted the statement he made at the AIPAC Convention in June, about the need for Jerusalem to remain Israel’s undivided capital. Obama had already qualified the statement the day after he made it, but in a new CNN interview he effectively retracted it, blaming “poor phrasing” and careless syntax.

Interviewer Fareed Zakaria asked: “One area where you’re outside the international consensus — and certainly, perhaps, some others — is the statement you made in a recent speech supporting Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel. Now, why not support the Clinton plan, which envisions a divided Jerusalem, the Arab half being the capital of a Palestinian state, the Jewish half being the capital of the Jewish state?”

It is an example of us making sure that we are careful in terms of our syntax.

Obama replied: “You know, the truth is that this was an example where we had some poor phrasing in the speech. And we immediately tried to correct the interpretation that was given.

“The point we were simply making was, is that we don’t want barbed wire running through Jerusalem, similar to the way it was prior to the ’67 war, that it is possible for us to create a Jerusalem that is cohesive and coherent.

Sin of syntax
“I was not trying to predetermine what are essentially final status issues. I think the Clinton formulation provides a starting point for discussions between the parties.

“And it is an example of us making sure that we are careful in terms of our syntax. But the intention was never to move away from that basic, core idea that they — that those parties are going to have to negotiate these issues on their own, with the strong engagement of the United States.

“And if you look at the overall tenor of that speech and what I’ve said historically about this issue, you know, Israel has an interest not just in bunkering down. They’ve got to recognize that their long-term viability as a Jewish state is going to depend on their ability to create peace with their neighbors.”

NC sez: Obama, you’re arrogance is showing through right now: Israel is quite aware of what it needs to do to obtain peace for ITS country!

In the same speech to AIPAC, Obama said that he would never compromise on Israel’s security and promised: “I will do everything in my power – everything – to ensure that Iran does not achieve a nuclear weapon.”

NC Sez: Well, this folding like a lawn chair behavior you display is quite alarming but does show us you are no leader when you can’t stand up to any pressure from special interests! I can see that whole “New Change We Can Believe In” now Obama! You’re constantly changing dude! Same ole crap as usual!

Cartoon controversy
Besides dealing with the left-wing’s criticism of Obama’s “united Jerusalem” statement, the Obama campaign was riled this week by the cartoon on the cover of the latest New Yorker magazine. The cartoon depicts Obama in Muslim garb and headdress, giving a fist-bumping handshake to his wife Michelle who is dressed in camouflage clothes with an AK-47 and ammo-belt slung over her shoulder. They are shown standing in the presidential Oval Office beneath a portrait of Osama bin Laden while the American flag burns in the fireplace.

NC sez:  Oh stop whining,  Michelle and Nobama!  The New Yorker, even as liberal as they are, are right!  The pair of you are Hate and Blame America Firsters!  Why hide how you really think?

The magazine issued a press release saying that the cartoon “satirizes the use of scare tactics and misinformation in the presidential election to derail Barack Obama’s campaign.” However, Obama’s campaign said that while the intention may have been satirical, “most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree.”
