News Flash: Obama Approved Democratic Platform | Power Line: "Things got so bad that President Barack Obama was forced to personally intervene, ordering language mentioning God and naming Jerusalem as the rightful capital of Israel be added.Of course not. For Barack Obama, politics always comes first. He would prefer to express his far-left views honestly, but if doing so carries a political cost, he is always willing to throw far-left principle under the bus. For the moment, anyway: the question always remains, what will happen if he never again has to face the voters?"
Obama had seen the language prior to the convention, a campaign source said, but did not seek to change it until after Republicans jumped on the omissions of God and Jerusalem late Wednesday.
