On Thursday, President Barack Obama gave a speech at the State Department in Washington, D.C. which was supposed to offer an indication of what American policy would be in the Middle East as the region was going through great transition. However, coming out of the speech many are questioning the president’s suggestion that Israel should withdrawal to pre-1967 boundaries.
On Thursday’s “Special Report” on the Fox News Channel, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer gave a very disparaging review of the president’s proposed policy. His major point of contention: Obama is willing to give away a bargaining chip without getting much in return.
“What Obama did today is something that no American president has ever done, which is to endorse the return to the 1967 lines which as you said would reduce Israel to a country with a waist eight miles wide,” Krauthammer said. “Now, the reason this is odd is because you’d expect it to be at least in return for something. But the Palestinians in the two-and-a-half years of this administration have not offered them anything as a concession to Israelis. [Palestinian Authority President] Mahmoud Abbas has boycotted the negotiation and then a few weeks ago, he joined in government with Hamas, dedicated to extermination of Israel. In return for all of those and the Israel gestures, Obama makes the biggest concession of the entire Arab-Israeli negotiations in 50 years.”

And don't doubt that there's not a prayer rug on the floor of our White House.
In other words, he is pro radical muslim. If Obummer thought that he would be able to keep the halo from killing OBL into the election, this will totally destroy that notion. The GOP candidates had better start pounding on this foreign policy blunder everyday, every hour, on the hour.
Wasn’t Kraut speaking with his own tingles up the leg about Obama just a short couple years ago? He is smart as a fencepost. How does betrayal feel like now?
You want to give a quote on that one?

It is not a bargaining chip - Obama’s speech is a clear call to action by muslims to attack Israel internally and externally. It is extremely inflammatory. Any arab will see it that way, no matter how militant.
If Netanyahu has any sense, he will get back on the plane and go back to Israel immediately without meeting the resident tomorrow. Israel needs to be on highest military alert for a massive attack from all borders and internally.
All of us here in FR are horrified by this. That goes without saying. So I’ll say it anyway, “I’m horrified by this”.
But now I’d like to ask a somewhat off-topic (or off-on-a-tangent) question:
What about Ron Paul? Does he support this call for Israel to return to the 1967 borders?
I’d really like to know.
Netanyahu would probably scare the sh*t out of the “One” If he stated that Israel was going to re-occupy the land that G-d gave them..period, end of title problem.
AMEN!
Lots of discussions going on there.
Obama- Enemy of the Jews.
I don’t know if Obama is Muslim or not; I do know thnat he is an evil man who is out to destrroy America and its allies.
Since taking office, Obama has shown disrespect to the Jewish State, while kowtowing to Islam and the Arab world. The longer Obama stays in power, the worse things will get.
Obama has disrespected every ally we have had. He cozies up to the enemies.
But he is a total fool. You see, the people Obama cozies to despise him because he is a traitor to his own country. He is a man that cannot be trusted. If your own can’t trust you, why would anyone else?
The destruction of America is almost complete. Two more years will be 2 years too late.
He's already said he was a muslim . . . he said it . . . I didn't . . . he said it . . . and didn't correct it until a sycophant moderator corrected it for him. He's a stinking muslim. He's not a Christian.
For one thing, Christians don't advocate the annialation of the Jews nor the deliberate slaughter of over 3,300 unborn and newly born babies each and every day in a most bloody and disgusting way.
No. You are confused.
