Candidate Obama v. President Obama on Iran
It's fascinating to look at what Candidate Obama said about Iran and to compare it with what President Obama has actually done. This is classic. Obama has frequently talked about crippling sanctions, but has enacted nothing. The Bush administration did enact sanctions, encouraging the UN to impose three sets: May 2006, December 2006, and March 2007. Yet in talking about President Bush’s foreign policy, candidate Obama stated:It's time for action on Iran.Unfortunately, I fear our once great influence is waning, a victim of misguided policies and impetuous actions. Never has the U.S. possessed so much power, and never has the U.S. had so little influence to lead.As president, Obama has obviously not followed his own advice with sanctions: an end-of-the-year deadline was pushed back to January, then February, and then came May, with talk of weakened sanctions that might bring Russia and China on board.

Won't happen... May is nearly over and then there's the summer. Is anything really going to be done on Iran?
Don't hold your breath for that to transpire any time soon.
