Honest to God, sometimes I really don't know what the Republicans think they're doing.

Republican senators criticized President Barack Obama on Sunday for not taking a tougher public stand in support of Iranians protesting the outcome of the country's contested presidential election, with one saying the president had been "timid and passive."


We've seen what happens when a president is aggressive and knee-jerk in his responses. It doesn't work out well.

"The president of the United States is supposed to lead the free world, not follow it," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said on a Sunday morning talk show. "He's been timid and passive more than I would like."


Sometimes part of leading is to be cautious.
