Obama Says he Used "Poor Phrasing" When Saying Jerusalem Should be the Undivided Capital of Israel.....

It's pretty obvious he was pandering to a group of people he plans on throwing under the bus once he becomes president......

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said on Sunday he used "poor phrasing" in a speech supporting Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel.

"You know, the truth is that this was an example where we had some poor phrasing in the speech. And we immediately tried to correct the interpretation that was given," he said in an interview aired on Sunday on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria -- GPS."

"The point we were simply making was, is that we don't want barbed wire running through Jerusalem, similar to the way it was prior to the '67 war, that it is possible for us to create a Jerusalem that is cohesive and coherent," Obama said.

Obama's campaign has issued similar clarifications since the candidate's speech to pro-Israel lobby group after he clinched the Democratic presidential nomination early last month.

Perhaps "poor phrasing" is Obama's second language.

At least Bush has made a stab at learning Spanish. Then again, maybe Obama's second language is Ebonics? Ya' think? Hmmmm . . .

Of course, it turns out Nobama doesn't speak a second language like Spanish, and certainly not French from his pathetic French accent. What a frickin' hypocrite.

What are your plans for other cities in the world outside of U.S. jurisdiction, Obama?

Obama sure makes a lot of mistakes in his phrasing... and that's in English.

And he feels embarassed that we don't all speak Spanish???
