and that was why he would not visit, because that would make a bad impression on Americans across the board myself I think your wrong about all of it
Obama would probably not be boo'd in Israel
if he was most American would not really care and the bad impression might actually be of Israel, because Americans see quite often how much money the US gives Israel even under Obama
Most Americans do not really care one way or the other about Israel or Israel/Palestine most eyes will glaze and they intone "those people over there have been killing each other since the bible" most nonJewish Americans do not equate their Jewish neighbors to Israel
as a sitting President Obama is wise to stay in the US because most American voters are more concerned about what is going on here rather than in a foreign country
and what5 you apparently fail to see that is offensive about IVoteIsrael is that American/Israeli citizens are being asked to vote for Israel's best interests regardless of whether its actually good for America or the majority of Americans living here
