Default Obama Back Pedals Again to Pander

http://news.yahoo.com/s/realclearpol...gh_time_on_i_1

Remember his big Iran threat boast last week?


Obama Backs Off Another Campaign Pledge
The next day, after receiving criticism from, among others, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Sen. Obama's campaign issued a "clarification."

Obama "did not rule out Palestinian sovereignty over parts of Jerusalem when he called for Israel's capital to remain 'undivided,'" an aide told the Jerusalem Post.

This was a good backtrack. The United States and most other nations do not recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital (the embassies are in Tel Aviv) precisely because the final status of Jerusalem is the subject of negotiation between the Israelis and the Palestinians in pursuit of a final peace settlement.

But the "clarification" illustrated two of Sen. Obama's tendencies which happen often enough to be described as characteristic. The first is ignorance of an important foreign policy issue. The second is reluctance to admit error when a mistake has been made.

Because it's better to vote for someone who promises "more of the same" somehow?

Give the brother a chance. Maybe, just MAYBE, you'll be surprised.

That's my point exactly. But he's a bigger hypocrite because he claims he's different than all the rest. He got all his supporters to believe, - it "won't be politics as usual if he's president." And it looks like his new vetter will soon have to step down.

So, cat... I'm just wondering how a McCain presidency will benefit you and the things you care about. I mean, you supported Hillary as did nearly half of the Democrats in the primary. If you're not going to support the primary winner, then I'm wondering what it is about a potential McCain presidency that appeals to you.
