US vs. France - Middle East

The New York Times: Reports that France has rebuked the US approach to the Palestinian State issue, calling more for a set timetable, as requested by the Palestinians. This is good news for the Oval folks, this will show to Jewish voters that President Obama is supporting Israel against the Arab supporting EU. On this issue the Oval is right, on the politics and policy, okay it does not have much choice, but who is to say that political choice is a good thing, politicians always want choices, gives them room to move, in this the Oval has no choice, in effect the 2012 election has began, thus President Obama cant move an inch from supporting Israel. The Democrats should use the speech by the French President as showing how Obama does stand up for Allies, in this case Israel. On the whole a good day for the Oval.
