Why hasn’t Obama visited Israel during his presidency? Will it hurt him in Florida?

Congressional candidate and former Florida Congressman Alan Grayson talks to “Viewpoint” host Eliot Spitzer about Mitt Romney’s criticism of President Obama for not visiting Israel during a Middle East tour in 2009. Obama has not visited the country since he was a candidate for president in 2008, something Spitzer fears could hurt him with Jewish voters in Florida.

“The right-wingers have been trying to make out this case that the president’s a Muslim, that he hates Israel, that he won’t visit Israel, and so on and so forth,” Grayson says. “There’s been a whispering campaign regarding the Jewish vote now for four years. It’s hard for the president to turn that around.”
