So, you don't like my nuclear program, Obama? How about my missiles? These hypothetical questions ricocheted around Washington this week as 2015 wound to closure. Iran fired two medium range missiles that passed within 1500 meters of 3 US Navy ships in the Straits of Hormuz. A protest from the Pentagon was scoffed at by the Iran military, saying it was only a test and not included in the terms of the recently completed nuclear arms agreement. Meanwhile, the White House announced new sanctions were being considered against visa-free travel for anyone who has traveled to Iran, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. This move was actually signed into law on December 18th.
So, the dance continues between the President and the Ayatollah. The old sacntions were to be lifted shortly, but now with these new developments, Obama will be under pressure to keep those sanctions in place and impose a new round against Iran. It's not easy being president. The Obamas have been in Hawaii for the holidays, Obama's home state and where he has vacationed routinely at this time of year. Obviously, he is not really on vacation, only giving the 'appearance' of a vacation. The girls know this, but in another 10 months, it will be over for them and Barry as his replacement will have been elected.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
