Chinu, Great point. One thing I really do like about Obama is that he "walks softly but carries a big stick". Bush Junior used to use the bully pulpit to do the opposite with his disgusting braggadochio statements like "we'll git Bin Laden dead or alive" or "you're either with us or against us". What a joke Junior was. Obama is a helluva a lot more Presidential and even handed when it comes to foreign affairs. I have to give him credit for that....or should I be giving credit to Hillary Clinton, who is most probably the unsung hero in the foreign affairs department. ;)

"This President is a person of few words and more action" I tend to disagree. He has alienated our friends while coddling up to our enemies that have not responded in kind. As you are speaking specifically about Iran, he should have been supportive of the Iranian peoples uprising a couple years ago. Instead he sat passively back. Iran is trying to pick a small fight because the govt is unpopular and there is nothing like a foreign powers bombs to unite the population. The Iranian people are mostly quite nice. Hope the situation can be resolved peacefully. Neil
