Steny Hoyer Just Slapped Down Obama's 1967 Borders Statement #aipac

Watching the live feed from AIPAC, Steny Hoyer just slapped down Barack Obama's assertion that Israel should return to its 1967 borders:

Israel's borders must be defensible and must reflect reality on the ground!...

...the reconciliation of Hamas and Fatah puts the future in doubt ... let us make this clear: peace can only be achieved by a return to the negotating table without pre-conditions...

I believe in Palestinian statehood, but I oppose [an outside force imposing it]... peace cannot be imposed, it must be negotiated ...

We will not compromise or temporize, we will not ... fund a government that does not recognize ... Israel's right to exist...

Sounds like Hoyer has completely repudiated the "Obama Doctrine".
