The thing is, that Obama seems a bit more Sunni than Shiite. He’s active in the Sunni areas of the Middle East, and he attended a Sunni mosque in Indonesia. If there’s a Shiite bomb, that doesn’t seem to work. There’s no way of telling whether the Iranians will go after the Sunnis or the Jews or Christendom. Does “O” really think his powers of persuasion will steer history?
I don't think he believes there's anything he can't do.
