Saw Obama's speech in Israel while getting coffee this morning. There was a factoid window on the screen. It read, "Obama is the first sitting US president to visit Israel in just under five years"
Fact: When Clinton went in '94 it had been 15 years since a president visited Israel, Carter '79. I guess we must have had some Israel-hating presidents in between!
Yup, it was his 7th (?) year in the oval office before he visited Israel. Obviously it was the wording of the Obama Factoid that was so funny, definitely could have been better constructed.
