Back during the campaign, I mentioned that a young "yes we can" screamer was convinced that BO's personality would change the world.
I have not seen him recently. It'd be interesting to get an update following the brutal crackdown in Iran.
Pres BO committed himself to a different foreign policy. Unfortunately, nobody asked him to explain it, i.e. no one in the media challenged him.
Today, Pres BO is dealing with the harsh reality that Iran is a terrorist state that kills its people.
"Before June 12, Obama's eagerness to negotiate with Ahmadinejad -- ridiculed by his conservative critics -- was hailed by the establishment and the left as proof of his high-minded faith in diplomacy, a healthy antidote to George W. Bush's allegedly close-minded approach.
But now, if the clerical junta prevails, anyone who shakes hands with Ahmadinejad will have a hard time washing the blood off his own hands."
Does anyone at this White House understand the backlash if he now meets with Iranian leaders?
It's time for BO to make some "in flight corrections".
It's time for the naive candidate to come to grip to some reality.
There won't be a face to face meeting with Iran's leaders.
BO isn't going to get a chance to change the world with his personality.
"In the meantime, Obama's pathetic performance vis-a-vis Iran and North Korea cannot but send a message to all of America's enemies that the president of the United States does not believe in using power.
That he is a wimp and they can get away with whatever they want. A dangerous reputation, indeed."
