Video: Next year, President Mitt Romney in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel
What's the capital of Israel? President Obama once knew. In 2008 he declared that “Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided.”Today, he's not so sure. In fact, he won't even acknowledge the plain reality that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Mitt Romney has no such problem. On his recent trip abroad, he said: "It's a deeply moving experience to be in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel."
To highlight this contrast, today the Emergency Committee for Israel released a 30-second TV ad that will air hundreds of times in the coming days in Florida. The spot will appear during weekend Marlins games, on popular cable news shows and broadcast programs.
ECI's chairman, William Kristol, said:
"The contrast couldn't be clearer. Barack Obama is agnostic, at best, about whether Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Mitt Romney understands the meaning of Jerusalem, whole and free, the capital of Israel."
Let's go to the videotape.

Carl, you've got to be kidding. A lot of presidential candidates, both Democrat and Republican, have said that they favour moving the US embassy to Jerusalem.
Regardless, once elected, all have failed to do so. The opposition to any such move by antisemitic denizens of the Department of State, seems to override the will of the President every time.
Romney, if elected, will follow the same pattern. It seems that the vital interests of the U.S. do not include such a move.
