I think he just released a statement, I dont believe he personally shot the breeze about it over ice cream as some would have it.

Republicans twist Obama's statements about Israel
On Monday, the Atlantic's Web site published excerpts from an interview the magazine's Jeffrey Goldberg had done with Barack Obama a couple of days before. The published sections focused entirely on Israel, which has been a sensitive issue for Obama because of some perceptions in the Jewish community and elsewhere that he's anti-Israel. But over the course of the interview, Obama repeatedly made his support for the country clear. That, apparently, didn't satisfy House Republican leaders, who took one statement out of context to make it seem as if Obama had in fact slurred Israel.
Despite what Republicans said, Obama had made his real position evident. At one point during the interview, he told Goldberg:
I think that the idea of a secure Jewish state is a fundamentally just idea, and a necessary idea, given not only world history but the active existence of anti-Semitism, the potential vulnerability that the Jewish people could still experience ...
Not sure what they are missing my friend. It was clear to us but then we don't watch or read the same sources as others might.

Nah just caught up in presenting archives for the thinking reader to disect and form their own opinion. Just wanted to know if your statement was based on archived research or personal opinion ( which is fine ) to help them form their own opinions. For those who are familiar with my posting I tend to do that both ways.
Several posters asked questions which seemed to suggest they were not aware of the archived answers available so I provided them food for pondering and digestation.
It comes from my knowledge that the special relationship is an albatross that will prevent him from doing anything fair or constructive on that front.
