Michael Ramirez of Investor’s Buisiness Daily nails it today with his editorial cartoon.
Yes, the president’s statements on Iran have gotten stronger as time goes by. But true conviction doesn’t take more than a week to find its voice. Obama’s simply reading the sentiments of the American people and jumping along.
Goes back to that old story about what truly makes a leader. Leadership is not figuring out where your people are going and then jumping in front. It’s taking them there to begin with.
So we’ll shut down Gitmo, release the detainees into tropical paradise, diminish the efforts of the previous administration to advance the cause of freedom … and then dally while a totalitarian regime crushes free speech.
True conviction.
