Obama throws Israel a bone - says he'll visit if reelected
President Hussein Obama, who has not visited Israel during his first term in office, now says that he will visit during a second term - if God forbid there is one. After all, being booed overseas is not an impeachable offense.On Monday, former U.N. ambassador John Bolton blasted the president for not scheduling a trip during his first term.What might those be? A three-year standstill in 'negotiations'? Being the most hostile President to Israel ever? Stay home Hussein. We don't need or want you here.
“Obama has been in office three and a half years, and he has had time to do more fundraisers than any other first-term American president, has probably played more rounds of golf than any other president since Dwight Eisenhower, and yet he has not had time to fit into his busy schedule even one trip to Israel," Bolton told WABC Radio's Aaron Klein.
And Romney has said that his first trip, if elected, would be to Israel.
"If I’m president of the United States, my first trip — my first foreign trip will be to Israel to show the world we care about that country and that region,” Romney said during a GOP debate last year in Washington, D.C.
But Kahl dismissed calls for the president to visit Israel as "basically a distraction."
"Being a friend to Israel, at least in our view, shouldn't be judged purely by a travel itinerary," Kahl added. "The president has been to Israel multiple times, but more than that he's backed up his words with feats."
