Obama Bent Over Backwards

FOXNews.com - U.S. to Push for 'Significant Regime of Sanctions' Against Iran, Obama Says

So let's see. We've wasted a year and allowed Iran even more time to get further in the process. This after he was told this is what would happen if he went his way. Looks like his charm didn't translate into Farsi.

Did he say let me be clear when he talked about the sanctions? Because if not the Iranians may have misunderstood him.

It should be obvious both parties are finished and we as Americans should get off our collective a$$es and vote in a non-party affiliate.

Exactly. The one you worship has all the resources of the US at his disposal to help him understand and he's exactly where we are (plus a bow). I'm hoping for another term.

I would say the best hope we had to prevent a nuke Iran was during the last Iranian election.

The door was cracked to get a revolution - not only did we not do anything to spur that, we (Obama) intentionally downplayed it and legitimized I'madinnerjacket and poured water on the revolutionary fire.

We could have publicly and privately pushed for the revolution - as we did during the end days of the Cold War.

Obama declined on the hope his ass-kissing direct talks with the "leader" would lead to Iran caving into our demands.

Looking back this was a huge missed opportunity and if he doesn't get really tough sanctions it will be viewed historically as a major foreign policy mistake.
