Democrats Crumble On 'Jerusalem' Question

In 2012, the Democrats, having a sitting president who presumably was responsible for upholding U.S. policy, thought it more prudent to take a more pragmatic approach to the issue. They dropped the language about Jerusalem being Israel’s capital. This opened them to a Republican attack over the past few days which allowed Romney to trumpet his abject obsequiousness to the Lobby along with his insistence that Jerusalem be named Israel’s capital. Obama must’ve foreseen a Jewish version of Swiftboating in the making. He also knew that Sheldon Adelson stood ready to pump $100-million into such a series of attack ads. So he directed the platform committee to amend that plank in the platform. LINK
