Obama's latest trick... Here was Obama's dilemma: Congress overwhelmingly passed a law that called for barring an Iranian diplomat from entering the U.S. to attend his mission at the U.N. Why? Because this particular diplomat was one of the Iranian terrorists behind the raid on the U.S. Embassy to Iran back in 1979, and the subsequent holding of American hostages for over a year. The problem for Obama is that he doesn't want to bar this diplomat, and Congress easily had enough votes to override his veto.
So Obama signed the bill, then immediately announced that he wouldn't enforce it. Seriously.
I can't help but be reminded of Hugo Chavez's executive overreach on his way to overtly seizing power in Venezuela. As the linked article also notes, the action drips with hypocrisy, as Senator Obama harshly criticized George W. Bush for doing the equivalent.
What the hell has happened to my country?
