Obama's Unpopular Agenda | Iranian General: "Obama's Bluffing"

by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: Obama's Unpopular Agenda - Here's why Democrats will continue to struggle: President Obama and his agenda remain deeply unpopular. The latest Fox News poll finds that Obama's approval rating stands at 42%. That's not bad compared to some of his key initiatives. For example:

• 38% of registered voters approve of Obama's handling of health care, while 58% would repeal Obamacare if they could.
• 37% approve of Obama's handling of foreign policy, and only 32% of voters support Obama's plans to close the terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Fifty-six percent support keeping Gitmo open.
• 36% approve of Obama's handling of immigration. Sixty percent of voters disapprove of Obama bypassing Congress and issuing an executive order granting amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants.

Moreover, 68% are concerned that Obama's abuse of power "may be permanently altering" our system of checks and balances, while 74% believe his executive amnesty will encourage more illegal immigration.

Just before the 2014 elections, Obama tried to rally voters by reminding them that his agenda was on the ballot and that Senate Democrats up for reelection were "all folks who vote with me; they have supported my agenda in Congress." Republicans ran the tables in 2014, picking up nine Senate seats, expanding their majority in the House and reaching historic majorities across the states.

Iranian General: "Obama's Bluffing" - The world becomes a very dangerous place when America's enemies conclude we are no longer a serious nation. The atrocities of 9/11 happened after Osama bin Laden watched the Clinton Administration and determined that U.S. troops were "paper tigers" who "after a few blows, ran away in defeat."

Our enemies have watched Obama draw redlines and then back away from them. Putin decided to test the limits of Obama's promised "flexibility" by seizing Crimea. Now he's sending tanks into Ukraine and bombers into the Caribbean.

And if the latest comments of an Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander are any indication, things could get much worse in the year ahead. During a recent interview, Hossein Salami said, "The enemy can no longer even think about a military option. When senior U.S. officials use the term 'military option,' it is only for psychology purposes. It is an outdated bluff."

If the Iranians have concluded that Obama is bluffing, that there is no credible threat of military force from the United States, then the nuclear negotiations are a complete waste of time. All they have produced so far is an agreement to talk for another seven months -- giving the mullahs seven more months to advance their nuclear ambitions.
