“Avoid popularity if you would have peace.” - Abraham Lincoln
His Barackness blessed his loyal subjects with his first press conference of the year yesterday. The fact that all eyes were on the GOP fueled “Super Tuesday” surely had nothing to do with it. More than likely, the quarter of a year delay was due to the inordinate amount of time required to prepare a steaming pile of verbal dung like the one he flung at us during yesterday’s presser. President Obama was peppered with questions of varying origin, and he responded with emotions of varying sincerity. I got the feeling 
“Iran is feeling the bite of these sanctions in a substantial way” he responded. Really? Are they really feeling the “bite?” Sanctions have been levied against Iran and their unique government for as long as anyone can remember. They’re piling up like parking tickets on an abandoned car. The owner of the car will never pay the tickets, yet the cops keep writing them. Obama rolled out the tired, old rhetoric about the drums of war, and how those warmongers on the right are beating them. Hogwash as usual, sir. It is you on the left who is beating the drums, yet they are not the drums of war. They are the tie-dyed, Birkenstock wearing, patchouli oil dripping, drums of liberalism. You have been trying since your first days in office to extend your liberal version of foreign policy to Iran. They have taken your offerings and made a fool of you and the country for whom you so valiantly campaign. Barack Hussein Obama also dropped a bit of his supreme military knowledge on us when he said “a casual approach to war leads to mistakes.” On this point, we are in agreement but I sincerely doubt that it is for the same reasons. I believe that war should be carefully approached. If handled the right way, there doesn’t have to be a war. Handled Obama’s way, with sanctions and finger wagging, and we will eventually be forced to interrupt one of the many Immaculated Vacations when Iran points a nuclear weapon at Israel.
His Barackness arrogantly explained his ever evolving position on Iran’s continued refusal to back up their claims of innocent nuclear intentions with proof. All we have asked for is proof that Iran is not using it’s nuclear program to develop a weapon. Just let the inspectors inside the facilities to insure that your low-grade uranium has not become highly enriched uranium. Taht’s all we’ve ever asked. They have sworn that they are not interested in weaponry, but they steadfastly refuse to offer any kind of evidence
Sanctions do not work. In fact, these sanctions are causing more problems for the United States than simply ignoring them may have done. Iran is not the threat that many seem to believe they are. Iran’s government is a hybrid consisting of equal parts democracy and theocracy but the two have not seen eye to eye since the acceptance of this structure back in 1979. Their weird form of government has earned them very little respect in the heavily Islamic region and therefore does not lend itself to the retaliatory strikes that would surely come from a strike against a country like Afghanistan. Iran is all talk. Their false bravado has been sufficiently exposed, yet they continue to run their mouths. Now, the Supreme Leader is making mention of his intentions, with recent capture of majority control in Iran’s Parliament, to do away with the office of President in their confusing governmental structure. This means that any progress Obama believes he has made in Iran has been made with a man who may not even hold any power when it comes time to implement any deals they might reach. He keeps touting the success of his diplomatic approach but he’s approaching the wrong man!
This ‘wait-and-see’ approach of Obama is a slap in the face to Israel and is most likely being seen as such by Israeli PM Netanyahu. Obama is putting his own political needs ahead of the needs of a historically loyal ally and it’s about to bite him in his arrogant buttocks. Why does he believe sanctions will work? Sanctions are like traffic laws. Yes, they’re in place for a reason but are you more likely to follow them on your own, or when there is a State Trooper behind you? Admit it, as soon as you see that reinforced 
Israel has asked us to either show our support with military assistance or to step out of the way when they feel a strike is the only way to save themselves. That’s not beating the drums of war. To suggest such moronic lunacy is just tired, liberal rhetoric designed to give Obama a political edge in this election year nightmare. A nuclear threat is the last thing a weak leader like Obama needs right now. This
As always, thanks for playing!
