War With Iran
Well, that was unfortunate. Obama just showed his inexperience in International politics, and now if he gets elected, there is a very good chance Iran, or someone else, will actually think they can get away with attacking Israel and the USA will do nothing.
The president's main job is International politics, and Obama took his eyes off of that and looked at temporary political advantage domestically instead.
Since I think we are going to have a Democratic president next, and I suspect that it is going to be Obama. I sure hopes that someone on his staff slaps him upside the head and makes him retract. He's got some good advisors. I've heard a couple of them speak. I think Obama is a smart man, and clever, but very inexperienced, and that was a grevous error.
Announcing publically that the USA will not defend an ally is a terrible political mistake. There are world leaders out there who are not very nice people and who are paying a lot of attention to politics in the USA.
I actively dislike Clinton, but her response was the correct one for a president. You attack our allies and we will grind you to rubble. (That's probably the first thing she's said that I agree with)
