If I were the young lady I'd pass on the lawsuit, for the reasons Donald mentioned and for the simple reason she'd have to keep thinking about Rush F*ckin' Limbaugh...not sure any potential award is worth that mess;)

GOLDBERG: Go back to this language, `All options on the table.' You've probably said it 50 or 100 times. And a lot of people believe it, but the two main intended audiences, the supreme leader of Iran and the prime minister of Israel, you could argue, don't entirely trust this. The impression we get is that the Israeli government thinks this is a vague expression that's been used for so many years. Is there some ramping-up of the rhetoric you're going to give them?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: I think the Israeli people understand it, I think the American people understand it, and I think the Iranians understand it. It means a political component that involves isolating Iran; it means an economic component that involves unprecedented and crippling sanctions; it means a diplomatic component in which we have been able to strengthen the coalition that presents Iran with various options through the P-5 plus 1 and ensures that the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] is robust in evaluating Iran's military program; and it includes a military component. And I think people understand that.

I think that the Israeli government recognizes that, as president of the United States, I don't bluff. I also don't, as a matter of sound policy, go around advertising exactly what our intentions are. But I think both the Iranian and the Israeli governments recognize that when the United States says it is unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, we mean what we say.

David Dayen:

Goldberg got out of Obama what Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to get next week - an enunciation of a red line with respect to Iran. That's a dramatic step with real consequences. Kevin Drum is being too cute by half. You cannot talk about the effect of gas prices on elections without talking about the effect of gas prices on the overall economy. While Drum has a defeatist take about constrained oil supply, there isn't any doubt that geopolitics play a big role in the run-up on prices. Heck, the Iranian embargo constrains oil supply. There is a direct line between what Obama said to Jeffrey Goldberg and his own re-election prospects. I'm in no position to be a political counselor to the White House, but you'd think they'd have figured this out on their own. I admit to also having the interest of not seeing a deadly regional war in the Middle East leading to the deaths of tens of thousands, if not more.

The confluence of a presidential election, a struggling economy, a still-volatile and unstable Iraq/Afghanistan, and the undeniable influence of
Israel on what happens next is looking more and more to me like the kind of perfect storm that doesn't end well - on any front.  There is way too much saber-rattling going on for my comfort, and the one-note messaging is reminding me way too much of how we ended up in Iraq.

A gun-owning voter asked Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in Bexley, Ohio, if he would allow him to keep his gun because the U.S. is close to becoming a "tyrannical government"
