But what is the record?

2008 Obama ran as a pro-Israel candidate, yet - As President, HE HAS NEVER VISITED ISRAEL.

First 100 days of presidency, obama visited a muslim capital

The first television interview obama granted as President was to a muslim network.

He visited Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other countries, but never to the one democracy in the Middle East, our ally. Not once in 3-1/2 years.

Here's obama's record on Israel - a documentary on You Tube. It shows the facts, shows the speeches and visits to muslim nations (long video).

Reports: Netanyahu ‘Humiliated’ by Obama Snub
On March 26, 2010, in News, by Caleb

For a head of government to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of. Yet that is how Benjamin Netanyahu was treated by President Obama on Tuesday night, according to Israeli reports on a trip viewed in Jerusalem as a humiliation.

After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on settlements, Obama walked out of his meeting with Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisers and “let me know if there is anything new”, a U.S. congressman, who spoke to the Prime Minister, said.

“It was awful,” the congressman said. One Israeli newspaper called the meeting “a hazing in stages”, poisoned by such mistrust that the Israeli delegation eventually left rather than risk being eavesdropped on a White House telephone line. Another said that the Prime Minister had received “the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea”.

Left to talk among themselves Netanyahu and his aides retreated to the Roosevelt Room. He spent a further half-hour with Obama and extended his stay for a day of emergency talks to try to restart peace negotiations. However, he left last night with no official statement from either side.

There is a lot more, but this information gives the overview of the obama record on Israel.

As an aside, re: Mitt Romney...

Mitt Romney is in Israel today, visiting with his old friend of approximately 30 years, Bibi Netanyahu. :thumbs:

Israeli political scientist Abraham Diskin says Romney can expect an "enthusiastic" reception, both because of his solid record of pro-Israel comments — and because he's not Obama.

"What interests Israelis is Israel," Diskin said. "Romney has a very pro-Israel stance. He is very suspicious of the Arab world. (Israelis) are very suspicious of Obama."

In an effort to upstage Romney a day before he landed in Israel, the White House announced it was signing legislation expanding military and civilian cooperation with Israel.
