Now over three years into his presidency, it’s true that President Obama hasn’t visited Israel with the frequency of some past presidents. President Jimmy Carter, for example, visited Israel in March of 1979, in the third year of his first, and only, term. President Bill Clinton visited Israel in October of 1994, and again in November of 1995, March of 1996, and December of 1998.

President George W. Bush, however, 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. His father, President George H.W. Bush, was an even less frequent visitor, traveling to Israel as President in February of Never.

Surely President Ronald Reagan, the patron saint of Republicans, the exemplification of all that is good and conservative, was known to get his Israel on, right?

Wrong. Ronald Reagan never traveled to Israel as President, an in keeping with Kristol’s group’s ad, here are the countries he did manage to visit: Mexico, Canada, Jamaica, Barbados,France, Italy, The Vatican, The United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Japan, South Korea, China, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Belgium, Grenada, Indonesia, Iceland, Finland, and the USSR.
