30 Days of Obama – Day 6

Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided. (4 June 2008) Obviously, it’s going to be up to the parties to negotiate a range of these issues, and Jerusalem will be part of those negotiations. (5 June 2008)

My Take – One of the slimiest things I see politicians of all stripes do is say one thing to one group, then say the exact opposite to another.  Usually this is done to curry favor with two groups that are opposed to each other.  Want my respect, even if I disagree with you?  Then say what you mean, mean what you say, and don’t change your position just because the people you’re talking to don’t like it.

    When people talk out of both sides of their mouths; look to their actions.

    What has Obama done to support the position of Jerusalem as the capital; nothing that I can see.

    What has he done to support dividing it; dissed Israel and its Prime Minister, taken no action to stop attacks on Israel.
