Let’s invite Bashar and Ahmadinajahd to the White House Easter Egg Roll while we’re at it.

Obama the Wise is merely dragging a lot of red herrings through the plot. Our enemies and allies both will be so confused and befuddled by these unorthodox diplomatic moves that the entire world will come to a grinding halt and it will be heard a giant moan of...HUH?

See? He will have them zigging when the should be zagging.
