THE STRANGE WORLD OF THE OBAMANS – AT 7:55 P.M. ET:  They live in their own bubble, create their own reality, and believe they can sell their damaged goods to the rest of us, at full price.  Right now their illusions heavily involve the Mideast and Iran.

Consider the line peddled today by David Axelrod, Obama's chief political adviser, who increasingly is acting as foreign-policy explainer:

Axelrod told CNN that at the start of the Obama administration, Iran was united while the world was divided on how best to deal with Iran.

The situation is now reversed, he said, as the world is coming together while Iran itself is divided.

Axelrod added that he was pleased with the cooperation that the Russians have offered and believes Moscow would support fresh penalties against Tehran.

Oh dear Lawd.  That is a super-crock.   Iran has always had divisions. It's never been united.  And the world is as divided now on how to deal with Tehran as when Axelrod's new messiah took office.  We can't get any serious action going.  The best we can do is another set of mild sanctions that the Iranians just laugh at.

Does anyone buy that line?

And then of course we have the administration's march of appeasement through the Middle East, and elsewhere.  We recently returned our ambassadors to Syria and Libya.  Why, if we engage the Syrians and Libyans, we're told, they'll come to like us.  Well, here is the answer from Syria and Libya:

Syria and Libya teamed up Sunday to pressure Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to quit peace talks with Israel and return to violence, delegates to an Arab leadership summit said.

In the wake of that call, Arab leaders gathered at their summit in Sirte, Libya on Sunday failed to reach a consensus on whether the Palestinians should resume stalled talks with Israel.

Gee, thanks fellas.  And thanks for the great work of the Obama administration in making such advances.

Remember, 2012 isn't that far off.
