Obama and Pledge Delegates

Fox News: Reports that Obama has claimed the majority of the pledge delegates in the Democratic Race. The speech was not his best, he still speaking to the Liberal voters within the Democratic Party. The following impressions have to be avoided, that he will raise taxes, aka Walter Mondale in 1984, and that he is weak in Foreign Policy, he needs to walk back from the impression that he will talk to Iran and Cuba without preconditions. Those Democratic Surrogates for Obama are using the same line, younger people in Iran want a closer relationship with the USA, thus we should talk, younger people in Florida might not have the same ideas as those from a older generation. This is a typical problem for Liberals, in Iran, yes a majority of the population was born after the Revolution of 1979, but here is the fact, they are not in power, and never will be with the regime that controls in Iran at the moment. As for Cuba, the Democrats are missing the point, the new regime in Cuba knows that their suppression wont last, thus the move to allow for more freedom, and what does Obama want to do, give the regime oxygen. Both Kennedy and Reagan looked at the option of getting better relationship with Cuba, it did not happen, the regime in Cuba must be destroyed from without. Also Obama has won Oregon State as expected by the pundits.
