Something is wrong with the timeline - and I think that Obama is not at fault for this. Read this Jpost article from 2009:

To quote:

The case was thrown out twice before, in 2004 and in 2007, by Judge Gladys Kessler. In 2006, the DC Court of Appeals overturned Kessler's 2004 ruling and sent the case back for a fact-finding mission to determine the possible consequences of including "Israel" on the passport.

In other words, whatever the U.S. passport policy is with regard to Israel/Jerusalem, it dates back AT LEAST to 2004 - long before Pres. Obama took office in 2008.
