Obama isn't 'walking on eggshells'
By Shelley Greenspan | Sep. 27, 2011Regarding this week's cartoon of President Barack Obama "walking on egg shells" around the Middle East conflict, I would like to point out that Obama and his administration have taken a clear stance on the Palestinians' recent request for statehood. In his address to the U.N. General Assembly, Obama reasserted his stance that negotiations are the only path to peace between the Israelis and Palestinians.
