Obama on the Ropes

Obama vows to take the gloves off and go after Hillary, threatening to muddy the "above politics" image he has cultivated and the press has now saddled him with. His first punch is on her vote to designate the Quds Force in Iran as a terrorist organization, a move that will make it possible for the US to enforce highly effective diplomatic and monetary sanctions against the elite leadership in Iran. (Even toothy, spineless Dick Durbin, Obama's ally, finally voted for it.)

Why wouldn't Barack be in favor of tightening sanctions against a terror state trying to develop nuclear weapons?

The answer is that Obama is naive and indecisive, a point effectively underscored by Hillary's campaign counterpunch: "If Senator Obama felt so strongly about this resolution, why didn't he speak out against it or vote against it?"

Obama on the fence, on the ropes.
