Although I agree with much of what the author says, I disagree on this point. IMO Obama seems to be continuing a tradition of US presidents, rather than breaking one. Obama won a second term on a fairly ambivalent attitude towards Israel. It surprises me that he seems more conciliatory in this term, rather than less.This President, who has repeatedly turned the other cheek to the disrespectful treatment he has gotten from Netanyahu, seems all too practiced at tolerating treatment that other presidents would never have stood for.
