Never.

They have had many problems and protests as a result. If they defended the Isralies, they would open themselves up to further uprisings. Should be a good lesson to the US, but with Obama the message will go unheeded. I guess it would be hard for him now to follow through with his plans to go to a middle east country to bring his message of peace and love for all. Didn't he say in Germany that he is "a citizen of the world." Did he not follow that up with a statement in Isreal that if his daughters were threatened by bombings, he would have to do something about it. Guess he finds himself in still another narrow box.

Frankly, it seem bizarre that he is this unaware of what people will think of him after seeing him live like the fat cats he's always condemning. I think this is going to rub his believers the wrong way over time and he may find himself living an almost Nixonian relationship with the media.
