So the white house press guy doesn't want to answer completely pointless questions meant to disrupt a news conference? I don't blame him for ignoring the useless loudmouth twits in regards to their pointless question that seems to be way out of context. There comes a certain point when the person in the front just has to ignore the rabble and let them make the stupid assumptions they wish.
If only they ignored disruptive twats more often we might get something done.
Oh, and the only people who admitted to not knowing the capital was the woman who was playing a game and the loud guy next to her. If it was geography class and the teacher ignored the question there might be a point, but this is a damned white house press conference, and not a college class. Go back to your office and google it, don't waste the white houses time asking them for geography lessons.
No there is more to it than that. He talked about "our policy" WTF does that mean? He could have said Jerusalem, NEXT!!!!!!!! but he didnt, why?
Netanyahu answered that question way back when he was here. The obama policy is that Jerusalem should be divided with half being in Israel and the other half in palestine, much like Berlin was divided. Netanyahu said "Jerusalem is not a divided city, it is the capital of Israel". The official obama policy is to change the capital to Tel Aviv and divide Jersusalem. That hasn't changed.
