Here is what Obama said verbatim.....
“So while the core issues of the conflict must be negotiated, the basis of those negotiations is clear: a viable Palestine, a secure Israel. The United States believes that negotiations should result in two states, with permanent Palestinian borders with Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and permanent Israeli borders with Palestine. We believe the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states.”
Show me one President ever say anything about basing new borders on the 1967 lines? You know besides Carter. And thank you for assuming I was dishonest about what Obama said and was able to requote him exactly as it came out of his mouth.
"We believe the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines" 
Wonder if Iran believes the U.S. should open negotiations with the Pottawattomi Tribe in Wisconsin regarding expansion of the reservations based on the 1846 treaty? Just about as relevent.
