Obama the Hedgehog Must Now Become a Fox
Lobelog, September 9, 2015

In
fighting and succeeding to gain congressional approval of the agreement
to keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons, President Barack Obama
has proved to be a very able hedgehog. “The fox knows many things, but
the hedgehog knows one big thing,” as Isaiah Berlin used to say. Obama
indeed knew the “one big thing” he most needed to know, rolled himself
into a ball, and warded off an army of determined opponents. In so
doing, he has taken the first, difficult step toward repairing (if that
is the right word) the frightful damage that his predecessor did in the
Middle East and to US interests by invading Iraq a decade ago and
shattering what passed for order and stability throughout the region.http://www.lobelog.com/obama-the-hedgehog-must-now-become-a-fox/
