Iran is the latest chapter in Pres BO's massive introduction to the real world.
What happens to presidents?
Events don't go as planned.
In the real world, "stuff happens".
And lots of stuff is happening to BO:
During the campaign, candidate BO, and the band of enthusiastic "yes we can" screamers committed to change the world, projected a post-Bush world.
Here was the plan:
We will talk. We will sit down and listen to our enemies' grievances. We will let BO's personality turn the world around.
Last, but not least, we won't have Bush & Cheney around to blow up things anymore.
Strike one: They foolishly tried to close GITMO.
Strike two: Iran turned brutal on its own people.
Strike three: North Korea got crazy with missiles.
All of sudden talking to Iran is out of the question. In fact, Pres BO's anticipated "face to face" encounter with Iran is highly unlikely.
Pres BO won't get to do an "Oprah" and sit down with our enemies on live world TV.
You can throw that ticket away. And don't expect a rain check either!
Reality 1, "yes we can screamers" 0!
P.S. Let's hope that they discuss today's WSJ editorial at The White House morning meeting. It is very instructive:
"President Obama took office loudly promising to be the anti-George W. Bush of foreign policy, vowing to "extend a hand" to adversaries "willing to unclench" their fists.
What he has received instead is an education in the reality of global rogues, and how he responds has become a major test of his Presidency." (Obama and the Rogues: North Korea and Iran intrude on his diplomatic hopes)
