Did anybody here expect any different in terms of U.S. relations with Iran? I can't recall anybody expecting any change with Obama in terms of foreign policy.
His primary contribution there was always going to be putting a darker face on Clintonian policies.... As to "defending Obama," it's an earmark of the movement to defend anyone under attack because of the invidious distinctions of race, gender, gender preference, etc. We always have. I regard the "birther" crap as nothing but this, for example. Whilee--as the birther stuff indicates-[-we live in a much dumber universe than we used to, I don't think anyone seriously confuses this with political support...unless they want to, of course...
