Will he throw Iran under his bus, along with Rev. Wright, his grandmother, his party and, well, the nation, in an effort to try and get re-elected?

In the final analysis, he's a coward.
Maybe but, in the FINAL analysis, he is a malignant narcissist and has shown, time and again, he will do what he sees as in his interest.
His best long-term interest would have him elect to not run for re-election rather than face humiliating defeat. At the moment, the only thing that will assure that is for a worthy candidate from the opposition to appear.
How does a president throw a country we don't have formal diplomatic relations with, "under the bus"
Well, we threw Iraq and A'stan under the Bush. Or, did we have diplomatic relations with them?
Point being, if Obama thinks going to war with Iran helps him, will he do it?
Yes we have diplomatic relations with both Iraq and Afghanistan.
and no we won't go to war with Iran until after they nuke Israel. He will in no way do anything to help the only stable democracy in the middle east.
There will be no 'after they nuke Israel'. If Israel ever ####s up enough to allow them the first punch, there will be nothing left of Iran for us to go to war with.
So, given his only chance of going to war with Iran is BEFORE Israel kills them, do you think this is a Tonkin type deal where Obama is looking to use Iran for his own personal political gain?
Obama won't stand for being Israel's protector in the eyes of his muslim brethren by conducting any preemptive strike against a fellow muslim.

Whose side does he come down on between Saudi and Iran?
This was one day's news, then nothing else heard. I'm beginning to think the whole thing was fabricated. Why isn't Saudi Arabia bombing the crap out of Iran? Why isn't Saudi Arabia garnering up support from other Arab nations to bomb the crap out of Iran? Why isn't Saudi Arabia going to the UN demanding action? This reeks of wag-the-dog.
Iran is israel's problem, not ours.
Yup. Operation 'Get Eric's Ass Out of the Fire' has come and gone. Not one freaking word of late here.
Iran is israel's problem, not ours.
How dare you! Why, we have gone well out of our way, for several generations now, to make Iran our problem!!
