Obama is trying to sound like he'll meet with the Iranian President and make him understand and accept our position with out comprimising our security needs. This is more hot air. Let's get real.

What's really being judged is what the candidates think of the voters. Which assumes more stupidity from the voters? Of course they know it's hot air, but how much hot air do they think they can get away with - that is the level of confidence they place in the intelligence of the voters. Obama's wide support continues to astound me, but I am from Oklahoma so maybe I just never get to hear positive representation of him around here.
