Obama and North Korea

The New York Times: A surprising tough editorial from the Liberal New York Times when it comes to President Obama and the Stalinist North Korea, the NYT states the following on North Korea and President Obama, " while he must pursue this opening, he must not be so desperate for a deal that he lets North Korea set all the terms..." It can be argued that even the most extreme Liberal Paper the USA gets the fact that North Korea can not be trusted, and that Obama can not afford in pure political terms to be seen as another Jimmy Carter or Neville Chamberlain. On the other hand North Korea is a armed nuclear power, the Obama Administration has to do a deal with them, if not we could see them selling their nuclear info to Iran, even more problems. Thus in the three hour of talks between Bill Clinton and the Government of North Korea lets hope the issue of the nuclear ambitions of North Korea came up over tea or coffee, three hours is a long time in the dire North Korea. The tough question is what will the price that Obama has to pay to put North Korea back in its box, and more important can he sell it to the regional powers in Asia and sell it back in the USA. Obama can not afford to see his polls go down any more, any more and Congress will not be afraid of him and thus he will lose health care reform.
