Democrats Scorch Obama over UN Vote Condemning Israeli Settlements
(AOL News) Jeremy Berke - Congressional Democrats issued scathing statements aimed at the Obama administration over the U.S. abstention on Friday's UN Security Council vote. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said he was "deeply disappointed" that the Obama administration allowed such a "one-sided" resolution to pass. "Actions like this will only take us further from the peace we all want to see." Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said, "I am dismayed that the administration departed from decades of U.S. policy by not vetoing the UN resolution."
