The first rule of negotiating is that you do it from a position of strength, NEVER from a position of weakness. Actually he's putting a hell of a lot of pressure on the other side... you just don't get the nuance.

The first rule of negotiating is that you do it from a position of strength, NEVER from a position of weakness. Obama has, in the course of a week, weakened the United States' position. He doesn't know it. But he has. It doesn't surprise me that you don't see he IS negotiating from strength. It is a pretty good sign you're screwing up when your enemy is commending you for your "change" in attitude. Good. You finally are recognizing that having the PM of Israel tell you how to vote in the UN is a sign of weakness. And as you say, it was a very good sign of how badly Mr. Bush was screwing up.
