Obama and AIPAC: A Delicate Dance
Amazingly, it has taken less than 24 hours before Barack Obama started backtracking on one key part of his speech to AIPAC Wednesday — the part that brought the crowd to its feet cheering - that Jerusalem should remain the undivided capital of Israel.
Obama came to AIPAC Wednesday. Did he conquer?
