Obama and Israel's 1967 Borders

Barack Obama has stated that his insistance on Israel's return to the 1967 borders reflects a long-standing US policy. Well, this was definitely NOT the policy of the United States, at least up until 1989. Here is an excerpt of one of Ronald Reagan's speeches on Israel:

Israel exists; it has a right to exist in peace behind secure and defensible borders; and it has a right to demand of its neighbors that they recognize those facts. I have personally followed and supported Israel's heroic struggle for survival, ever since the founding of the State of Israel 34 years ago. In the pre-1967 borders Israel was barely 10 miles wide at its narrowest point. The bulk of Israel's population lived within artillery range of hostile Arab armies. I am not about to ask Israel to live that way again.3
