President Obama hasn’t visited Israel. Presidential candidate, Obama has.

Maybe you don’t see the difference?

George W. Bush didn’t visit Israel until the 7th year of his office in 2007. Much like a Obama, he did visit prior to becoming president which was in the year 1998. Ronald Reagan never set foot in Israel his entire life.

Instead, the right wing continues to fabricate outrage over this when Obama is exhibiting much the same behavior as past presidents such as George W. Bush. However, not in the case of Ronald Reagan who never visited Israel.

There are no differences except through the eyes of the American far-right and troublemakers.
