Iran 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0

On the campaign trail, presidential candidate Barack Obama once called for a "reset" policy with Iran.

The un-Obama

Barack Obama's favorability in the polls falls when he is himself -- overexposed, hard left in his press conferences, and boastful about legislative achievements like Obamacare and a stimulus of more than $1 trillion. Then a strange thing happened.

In Greek mythology, the prophetess Cassandra was doomed both to tell the truth and to be ignored.
