As Iran happily enriches weapons-grade uranium and tests long range missiles, Barack Obama is getting tired of holding out his arms for an unreciprocated hug from the terrorist state. Stopping just short of using the dreaded presidential frowny face, Obama has now announced that he will "ratchet up the pressure and see how Tehran responds."
Presumably, they'll respond much the same way the French knights did in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," and call the president a "wiper of other people's bottoms" whose "mother was a hamster and father smelled of elderberries."
And just what "pressure" the president intends to "ratchet up" is something of a mystery.
Neither Russia nor China is on board for sanctions, and Obama's only threat to Iran is that he hopes to talk the UN into writing a stinging letter. Meanwhile, Ahmadinejad is loading his catapults with nuclear cows, confident that Obama will - once again - "run away!!!!"
Don't make us use the party horns...

Poor Barack Obama. Even when he does the right thing (in fact, only when he does the right thing) he's misunderstood and criticized by the people around him. In this case, because he's supposedly come out in support of offshore oil exploration.
Frankly, we think it's vital to find additional sources of domestic oil in view of the fact that the Obama administration has basically given Iran free reign to develop nuclear weapons, which will predictably disrupt Mideast oil supplies in the foreseeable future.
But liberals and environmentalists are screaming, because offshore oil rigs...unless very closely supervised and regulated by the government...might produce profits for oil companies, energy for American business, and hasten the end of the world through global warming, global cooling, and/or global climate change, depending on what sort of mood Al Gore is in today.
However, a closer look at the president's proposals actually shows that he plans to reduce and delay domestic exploration and drilling, while actively seeking to raise the cost of gasoline and impose a "cap and trade" energy tax on virtually every aspect of American's lives.
And so it appears that America's virgin oil fields will remain virgins for the foreseeable future. Which is ironic when you think about what the president has done to the rest of us...

The American economy shed another 23,000 jobs last month, which is being heralded as good news because Americans no longer have any idea what genuine "good news" sounds like.
This brings the total to 8.4 million jobs lost since the current recession began, and explains why the president and the Democratic congress have made employment their tippy top legislative priority... after healthcare. And cap and trade. And amnesty for illegal immigrants. And...
