Obama caves to China on Iran Sanctions..Did we really expect he wouldn't?

The State Department on Wednesday exempted several countries, including China and India, from financial sanctions targeting Iranian oil sales because those countries have continued to reduce their purchases of Iranian crude oil. 
U.S. officials said U.S. pressure on Iran is steadily bearing fruit, 18 months after the U.S. targeted Iran's oil sales as a way to strangle the regime's finances and forestall the development of a nuclear weapon.
But half a dozen countries, particularly China, continue buying large volumes of Iranian crude, having received repeated exemptions from sanctions. China imported about 375,000 barrels per day of Iranian oil in April, which is less than it imported before the U.S. began targeting Iranian exports but is more than China imported in the early part of last year. 
State Department officials said President Barack Obama would raise the issue of Chinese purchases of Iranian oil at this week's summit in California with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
