President Barack Hussein Obama wouldn't be caught dead in Israel, but Mitt Romney intends to visit the Jewish nation some time this summer.
Read from Weasel Zippers:
Romney To Visit Israel, Will Meet With Netanyahu…
Via The Hill:
Mitt Romney plans a trip to Israel this summer to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other political leaders, an aide to the Romney campaign confirmed Monday.
The Republican presidential hopeful, who has a decades-old friendship with Netanyahu dating back to their time working at a consulting group together early in their careers, hopes the trip can shore up support with Jewish voters ahead of November’s election. He also plans to meet with Salam Fayyad, the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, and Israeli President Shimon Peres during a brief stop in the country.
The Romney team sees Israeli relations as a potential weakness for President Obama, who has not visited the country since his election, although Obama did visit during the 2008 presidential primary season. Romney has repeatedly accused Obama of “throwing Israel under the bus” and having “visibly warmed to the Palestinian cause.” He has said if elected president, Israel would be the first country he visits.
UPDATE: Confirmed that Romney will do the opposite of Obama on Israel: 'As of now,' Romney will not meet with Abu Mazen

I believe that Romney loves his country and would do everything in his power to support and defend Israel and our allies.
unlike the current democrat administration that wants to bring America and her allies to their knees by giving billions of US tax dollars to MB and radical Islamist countries that want America, Israel and allies destroyed.
