Romney's 47% Tape on Israel/Palestinians

On the famous 47% tape, Romney admitted he has no idea how to handle the Middle East, Israel/Palestinians in particular. Remember what he said:

"So what you do is, you say, you move things along the best way you can. You hope for some degree of stability, but you recognize that this is going to remain an unsolved problem....and we kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve it."

That's not policy, that's not leadership, that's just crossing your fingers. Obama will nail him with this!

yours is one, the other is the fact that many military personnel are included in that 47% that Mitt doesn't care about.

One's a left jab, the other a right hook. I hope Romney gets knocked off his feet on this...
