And this is before his relative silence on the ongoing violence and murder in the streets of Tehran. Hint: He’s “deeply troubled” that Iranian citizens are being beat and murdered by their own government and its sympathizers in the streets. Oh, and he gave a bland statement on Iranians picking their own leader (except that they’re not.) He was tougher on the George Tiller murderer, and in a shorter period of time, too.

But back the poll. How did Americans think Obama would act in relation to Iran? Did they think he was a hawk bent on ending its nuclear program through any means necessary? He talked about how he didn’t view the country’s regime as a big threat, promised to sit down for tea with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without preconditions, and was reneging on promises to Jewish voters just hours after addressing AIPAC. The man sat in a church that prints the Hamas terror manifesto in its bulletin for twenty years. What were they expecting, John F. Kennedy?

A FOX News poll released Monday finds more than two-thirds of Americans say Obama has not been tough enough on North Korea (69 percent), while some 15 percent think his actions have been “about right” and 3 percent think he has been too tough…

On Iran, the findings are almost identical: 66 percent overall say Obama has not been tough enough, including 57 percent of Democrats, 80 percent of Republicans and 59 percent of independents.

Fifty-seven percent of Democrats? Fifty-nine percent of independents? That’s a political nightmare scenario on two major foreign policy issues. One expects to lose the support of your opponents, but your own party? That’s just pathetic.
