Will this statement from the US encourage the protestor invasion ?
Am I the only one who has to wonder what exactly did Obama believe the ramifications of such a statement would be ? Is our president trying to, "stir the pot" ?

Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled for a visit with our President tomorrow.
That may have something to do with the timing of the President's statements.
As I watched the speech, I feared he was going to say that the U.S. is right now recognizing Palestine as a state or that he would say we are going to recognize Palestine on 9/11/2011 in honor of the tenth anniversary of the Muslim attacks on America.
