If the IS and UN sanctions aren'tt "Bush's sanctions", they're not Obama's either. But if Obama is maintaining the same sanctions we've had for some time, how can it be said that Obama is imposing "more sanctions" (which you did say and I took exception to)?

.. why you think Obama is backsliding, when he is doing the same as the Presidents before him.

Actually, I only contested your claim that Obama was doing something more effective than Bush re Iran.

As for Obama doing the same as the Presidents before him, thats pretty accurate except Obama is putting out more what I'd call "happy talk" rhetoric toward Iran - cutting the Norwuz greeting video, inviting Iranian diplomats to our 4th of July festivities. Nothing has resulted from this that could be called effective.

As for being biased, I think its biased to praise Obama where there's been no accomplishment to point to.
