Protests in Iran; chanting: “Obama, Obama, ya ba oona, ya ba ma,” which translates as “Obama, Obama, with them or with us.”

One can hardly blame the protesters; Obama can make it exceedingly difficult to know where he stands — by the end of his presidency we’ll know whether that’s his greatest talent or fatal flaw.
