Mitt Romney Campaign Inadvertently Slams Ronald Reagan In New Ad

The Mitt Romney campaign has launched a new ad aimed at discrediting President Obama‘s handling of the United States’ relationship with Israel, bashing the President for not visiting Israel during the first three and a half years of his presidency. Entitled “Cherished Relationship,” the ad highlights that fact, plus Romney’s recent declaration that Jerusalem is “Israel’s capital.”

The problem is, no Republican president since Richard Nixon has visited Israel within that time frame, and Ronald Reagan never made a presidential visit to Israel.

Bill Kristol threw this trip to Israel attack against the wall last week, but Mitt Romney apparently missed the memo that Republican presidents have a horrible record when it comes to visiting our Israeli friends. President George W. Bush didn’t get around to visiting Israel until January of 2008, near the end of his second term, visiting again in May of that year. President George H.W. Bush, like Ronald Reagan before him, was an even less frequent visitor, traveling to Israel as President in February of Never.

He can't seem to make one right step. I cringe to think of the damage he could do as president. And here I thought Bush* was as bad as it could get...
