This President is a person of few words and more action. Remember the phrase "a dog that barks does not usually bite." Applies to Obama. I trust him to not order a strike on Iran before his election if the time for doing so is not ripe. But it looks like we are getting there since Iran is becoming belligerent with each passing day; threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz, conducting naval exercises, warning US naval carriers to not enter the Straits, sentencing a former US Marine to death etc. etc. That is a good deal of stretch but not enough yet for a "no drama Obama" type of a personality.

Obama Ready to Strike to Stop Iran: Ex-Adviser
By Indira A.R. Lakshmanan - Jan 10, 2012 3:41 AM PT

No one should doubt that President Barack Obama is prepared to use military force to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon if sanctions and diplomacy fail, the president’s former special assistant on Iran said.

Obama has “made it very clear” that he regards a nuclear- armed Iran as so great a threat to international security that “the Iranians should never think that there’s a reluctance to use the force” to stop them, Dennis Ross, who served two years on Obama’s National Security Council and a year as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s special adviser on Iran, said in an interview yesterday.
