He's said repeatedly that a nuclear Iran is unacceptable, that Israel is a friend and always will be. He's directed our State Department to continue negotiating with Iran. He's lead a coalition of western countries to apply economic sanctions against Iran. He has been unsuccessful in getting either Russia or China to cooperate, but after all they both rely heavily on Iran for oil, unlike the U.S.
So short of throwing down the gauntlet of threatening military action--a threat which cannot be a hollow one--what leadership would you propose from him?

You dont defend Obama but you pick on one part of one sentence to discuss...you are very transparent VK.
My point is, if you want to discuss leadership, is that this is not a NEW situation. He has spent so much time with politics that maybe he could have spent making peace with Russia to put some pressure on. His head is on ONE thing and one thing only.
My point, until you made it the one sentence is that this is serious stuff....my comment on Obama leadership is the ONLY thing you seem to see,but you are typical. We need to put more and more pressure on....we keep offering and offering more and more....we make no attempt to rally, at least the President does not do it as dramatically as he allows immigrants to get freedom if you will. Would it not be a great thing to call that national press conference and talk to Iran in public....let them know he takes it seriously. NO, he will talk about anything political.
Now, I understand that you do most of this stuff in private, but again, since the only thing you picked up on was any criticism of Obama, let me just say that he needs to be more hard more public.
Start talking to them the way he does with anything political is a good start.
