I'm disappointed, but not surprised in the least. Its really quite impossible to imagine how one could wish to become president and not give this speech. Not only does it secure some Israeli lobby influence, which is an important factor in general presidential elections, but it also guards against any republican attack. He can easily whether the minor storm from the left this will bring, he does not need to worry about the mainstream media as this is not being covered with any interest, and he comes out ahead in the end.

He knows the game that got him where he is. Its quite clear that there really is no courage in being the president.
