Obama, Gaddafi, and Jerusalem

Muammar Gaddafi scolds Barack Obama for his statements regarding Jerusalem to pro Israel lobbyists last week. Has it been our position in pursuing peace talks that Jerusalem should be the undivided capital of Israel? have we encouraged that position? It seems to be a position that would make any Israeli-Palestinian peace process impossible, unless the UN has actual dominion over the city, in which case how is it really Israel's capitol? Does anyone have the skinny on this?

Gaddafi went on to say several other things that seemed to correlate with Thomas Friedman's piece in this morning's News and Record regarding the way people in Africa and the Middle east view Barack Obama, referring to Obama as "our Kenyan brother." That is sweet, but is good for Obama?
