Is he ready for that call? Is his Secretary of State? She's the one who posed the question of his readiness to "take the 3 A.M. call". The clock is ticking away...
I am wondering just who President Obama would "sit down with" to discuss the situation in Iran? The one who stole the election? The one who really leads and backed the stolen election? Perhaps the candidate who, according to the Iranian government lost "soundly"? -If he survives. Protesters are asking "Where's Obama?" in the streets of Tehren. After his last world apology tour he seems to have struck a cord of "Change" with the Iranian democracy movement. Why is he now backing off?
Japanese and South Korean intelligence have announced findings that North Korea plans to aim and shoot it's next missile toward Hawaii. Does the U.S. believe these reports? Defense Secretary Gates is moving interceptors to the islands. Looks like a solid YES. Perhaps the senile despot is just upset that Obama hasn't come to sit down and talk with him.
"Words. Just Words". President Obama used this during his campaign. Now it is coming back to haunt him. The king of image has used a lot of words here at home and through the middle east and Europe. Unfortunately, a U.S. President's words have consequences. Theodore Roosevelt's philosophy of "Speak softly, but carry a big stick" seems to have been sent packing with George W. Bush. The new policy seems to be 'Read eloquent words off the teleprompter and let the chips fall as they may'. I'm just afraid President Obama will reach for the big stick when it's too late.
The "Axis of Evil" seem to be doing their best to maintain their title. And President Obama is getting a real lesson on why George Bush's policies were the correct way to deal with these dictators and why Obama's own idealistic view of creating a world utopia purely by the sacred words that fall from his lips needs to fall by the wayside along with the campaign signs, slogans and Styrofoam pillars.
