Subject:  Obama: If Romney Wants to Start Another War, "He Should Say So!”

                   ------- Real Clear Politics 9-23-12

Another war!  How many wars have you started?  Doesn’t Mr. Obama see that when he says the United States “will do what we must to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon,” he is at least implying that we will resort to war?  Or does his admonition not apply to himself?  Is it because he really is not thinking he will resort to war? 

Mr. Obama does not have to tell the public he will go to war because he knows secretly that he is not even considering war to stop the Iranians.  He knows he is lying when he implies we will go to war.

Community organizing requires a different set of skills than does an executive leadership position.  Mayors, governors, and presidents of countries or presidents of companies, know the real meaning of leadership.  Mr. Obama does not set a red line on the Iranian question, because he cannot commit himself to a path of action.  He cannot apply his will to a complicated international problem;  or any problem.

Recall that in 2008 he was promising us he would open negotiations with the Iranians.  Starting up the negotiations merely needed the community organizer to be willing to meet with the Iranians.  How did that work out?

Community Organizers are good “facilitators” of discussions, they can use white boards to track the suggestions of the target group they are able to make everyone feel appreciated, but  putting all that into actions, . . . not so much.

PS  And I think Iran’s nuclear program should be destroyed and the regime must be over thrown.
