Hi janmcn: Obama has criticized and continues to do so in his campaign concerning Mitt Romney so called faux pas of , "it is a deeply moving experience to be in Jerusalem , the capital of Israel".
Let's exam the facts. When addressing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee on June 4, 2008 as Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said that "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided."
Bill Clinton during his 1992 campaign said that he would "recognize Jerusalem as an undivided city , the eternal capital of Israel, and I believe in principle of moving our embassy to Jerusalem."
John Kerry during his 2004 campaign stated, "he has long advocted moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, Israel's undisputed capital. And in 1999 he( John Kerry) signed a letter taking President Clinton to task for not moving the embassy."

These are campaign promises meant to get the Jewish vote. Never kept though because of how complex the Jerusalem issue is. Presidents Ronald Reagan, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower, Nixon and both Bushs made the same decision to keep the diplomatic capital in Tel Aviv. I wonder why?
If you are looking for something other than a politician in Romney, I sincerely doubt if you will find anything. Unless, that is, the POTUS wants to start another war in the Mideast to go along with those of Iraq and Afghanistan.
