Looks like Obama stepped in it. However ,like a cat, I am sure he will land on his feet.

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

But a campaign adviser clarified Thursday that Obama believes "Jerusalem is a final status issue, which means it has to be negotiated between the two parties" as part of "an agreement that they both can live with."

"Two principles should apply to any outcome," which the adviser gave as: "Jerusalem remains Israel's capital and it's not going to be divided by barbed wire and checkpoints as it was in 1948-1967." ...

Many on the right of the political spectrum among America's Jews welcomed Obama's remarks at AIPAC, but the clarification of his position left several cold. "

Will be interesting to see this play itself out. At this rate Bush might help Obama's reputation as well with the Iran confrontation coming to a peak...:rolleyes:
