Smail, the first part of the clip you heard Obama say in 2008 that Jerusalem IS the Capitol of Israel. It wasn't a yes or no answer. Reread the question genius, my brain is just fine

Obama must not want any more Jewish votes. Romney says the United States must be "unapologetic ambassadors" to push to advance the values that the United States and Israel share. Romney says the United States will always stand with Israel, including its insistence that Jerusalem be the cornerstone of Israel.

ONE reporter asks over & over & over again and pays NO ATTENTION to the Administration's position that the matter of Jerusalem's status is still under negotiation, and the "correct" answer to the question is neither yes OR no at this juncture....what IS it with you people? Do you not understand English, Thomas? Or have all those steroids addled your brain?

Because Jerusalem isn't the capital of Israel.
Maybe reporters got used to the Bush administration, where if you needed a funny story you could just go up to him and ask a geography question, but apparently the Obama administration isn't so easy.
Source(s): Oh, and while we're on the subject of things you should have learned in elementary school, a capital city is spelled with an 'a,' not an 'o.' - How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.
