Fast forward to the 32:30 minute mark for the segment on Israel:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacts to the President:
First 2012er to react was Mitt Romney:
President Obama "disrespected" Israel and threw it "under the bus" in a wide-ranging speech on the Middle East on Thursday, GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney charged.
Romney strongly criticized Obama, who, in a speech at the State Department, called for Israel to return to its border lines as drawn before the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
"President Obama has thrown Israel under the bus. He has disrespected Israel and undermined its ability to negotiate peace," Romney said in a statement.
"He has also violated a first principle of American foreign policy, which is to stand firm by our friends," added the former Massachusetts governor.
Romney led Republicans in criticizing the Obama speech, which touched on broader themes throughout the Middle East, including the popular movements for democratization, from Egypt to Yemen, during the first half of the year.Find out what other Republican's had to say HERE.

First is leading, like I often said about SP.
It takes courage to be first. Good for him.
Sarah did ‘follow’ in this instance, with her typical snark: (tweet)
"Dear Mr. President, please allow our ally, PM Netanyahu, to respectfully arrive through the front door this time. Thanks, Concerned Americans"
