Obama’s instincts all wrong, wrong, wrong

On just about everything related to international relationships, the Obama Administration has it wrong, wrong, wrong.

You will remember during the campaign when Russia invaded Georgia over Oil. McCain rightly and quickly condemned the aggression. Obama reacted like a deer in headlights, initially advocating a "wait and see" posture. Obama, much to his discredit, shifted course when the polls turned against him.

Now look at the fine mess we're in. North Korea is pointing missiles at Hawaii.

Iran is in turmoil ... and the Obama team is signaling support for the status quo, which is nothing more than a continuation of a dangerous, nuke-seeking, Israel-hating regime.
