Obama “Gets His Lawyer On” Over Iran
Yankee Sailor ^ | 6/8/2008 | Yankee Sailor

Stung by criticism, Senator Obama veers away with hard rudder from his statement he’d meet with Ahmadinejad:

Hedging his much-discussed offer to meet personally with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — now the encounter would be with “the appropriate Iranian leader at a time and place of my choosing, if and only if, it can advance the interests of the United States” — Mr. Obama fully embraced the Bush administration’s view that “the danger from Iran is grave.” He said “we will use all elements of American power to pressure Iran,” and he pledged, “I will do everything in my power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon — everything.”

So, what’s Obama’s new plan? Read on:

Obama talking about about foreign policy is like a clueless virgin fumbling with a bra strap on prom night.

This flip-flop should be added to the list of f-f’s he’s made so far, and will continue to make between now and November.

I heard on TV today that his popularity numbers are dropping some. Guess it depends on who’s giving the news, but, if that’s true it could mean voters are beginning to think twice (and more) about him.

A sudden thought about not importing gas from Iran: Why not unilatererally blockade Iran’s ports? Won’t work because there’s a pipeline going east? Shucks!

I think Obama’s got a lot to worry about. He’s just captured the Dem nomination, making history as the first black to be nominated by a major party for president. He’s also had the media fawning over him - and ignoring McCain - for two months, yet he’s only ahead of McCain by about 2 point in the national polls when he should be surging.

My gut tells me Obama’s got no where to go but down....

Obama's gotta be the luckiest clown alive today!

Israel is going to take care of the problem with Iran and the Adminanutjob! They announced yesterday that if Iran continues on the road to nuclear proliferation it will be "bye bye Iran!"
