Obama's Inspirational Timidity

The New York Times turns itself into a pretzel trying to convince its readers that voting "present" is the right thing to do as regards Iran.

Here we have a chance to drain the world's worst terrorist swamp, overturn a fascist dictatorship with nuclear designs and an expressed desire to finish Hitler's work, turn off the tap that feeds Hamas and Hezbollah, and Barack Hussein Obama is sitting on the sidelines because he still harbors the vain fantasy that his oratory can convince these maniacs to behave themselves.

It's too bad that the New York Times can't find a single example of timidity moving the world in a positive direction.
