Obama's Troubling Bro-mance with Ahmadinejad


Obama's often-expressed desire to just sit and talk with Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is heating up. Obama just keeps on trying like a starstruck teen, and the sartorially challenged leader of the wanna-be Islamic superstate just keeps on saying "no."

MTV has a term for this kind of sizzling, charged relationship between two guys - a bro-mance. And Barry and Mahmoud are certainly having a full-fledged bro-mance. It's definitely fascinating, and it would be funny if it weren't so damaging to US interests throughout the Muslim world. It might still be kind of funny.

What do I mean by damaging? I mean that in foreign policy matters, it's generally seen as a weakness to ask for a meeting of two heads of state. It implies that the one asking wants or more likely needs something of the one asked. Once you understand that, you understand why US policy has always been for Iran, and nations like them, to come to us - not the other way around.

It's also why nations, particularly those at odds with each other, routinely go through an intricate mating ritual with many levels of diplomatic talks before someone finally feels comfortable enough (and authorized) to suggest a consummation of the relationship by having the two heads of state meet. What I mean to say is that Barry's basically humping Mahmoud's leg before they've even gone to dinner and the world press is pretending not to notice.

Obama said during the campaign several times that he'd like to meet with Iran. Iran never said yes. Tone-deaf or stubborn, Obama asked again after his inauguration, only to be rebuffed with a solid NO by Iran. Then he went on Arabic TV (his FIRST interview as president) and kissed up. Now it's being reported Obama plans to pen a note to the mullahs in Iran asking AGAIN for a meeting.

To the rest of the world, and anyone here who's paying attention, it amounts to groveling.

This begs an obvious question. As Barack Hussein Obama races our nation's economy towards the brink, fills his cabinet with moonbats, idealogues, lobbyists, and tax cheats, and elevates the status of Iran and Ahmadinejad from pariahs to Islamic heroes, does he know what he's doing? It seems to me there are two possibilities - either he's completely inept and unperceptive, totally unprepared and incapable of doing this job - or he knows exactly what he's doing.

In other words, is Obama malicious, or is he just plain stupid?
