re: #4 What, me worry?

Adding the language AFTER THE FACT is actually the problem more so than the capital and god statement because it makes Obama seem to capitulate to GOP pressure (something many say Obama seems to do a lot to the GOP when they get in crazy mode).

Putting this language in has nothing do with where the capital of a foreign country is or if there is a God but to inoculate Obama from charges he is a secret Muslim or atheist (contradictory ideas but does not seem to bother the birthers) who hates Israel.

There is a reason every president since Israel was founded has declared Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and that we will move our embassy there but has not done so. I don’t even think Romney would be crazy enough to do so even if he won despite his strong statements that he would.
