Rich Lowry, NY Post opinion:

” What a contrast to five years ago — when then-President Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell angrily denounced the “fraud and abuse” in the Ukrainian elections, and warned of “consequences for our relationship.”

The result: The Ukrainian Supreme Court ordered a re-vote, which ended in a victory for the democratic opposition.

Iranians should be so lucky.”

The truth is Obama has been so fervently pursuing his doctrine of “openess and dialogue” with this heinous regime that he finds that he cannot do or say anything until one side gains a clear upper hand.

The price of ceding your obligations as the leader of the “Free World”.

This is guy is nothing more than an inexperienced, radical, frantic, fool being lead around by his nose by militant handlers who will use him up as quickly as he’ll ruin this country forever.

Ronald Reagan “meddled” with the Iranians. Within hours of his inaugaration, the hostages were released and were on their way home. The Iranians thought that Reagan would forceably take back teh hostages leaving a lot of dead government officials and military in his wake. They were probably right. Not one hostage harmed.

Obama is very weak and these rogue powers know it. He doesn’t have the backbone to stand up to these guys, lest they won’t think he’s cool and won’t fist-bump with him. Look, Obama couldn’t even get Michelle to wear appropriate clothes when she visited Britain a few months ago. How is he going to tell Kim jung Il what to do?

What do you expect from a gutless spineless empty suit from Chicago? The guy is both inexperienced and a complete self-serving moron. That hopey dopey fool only cares about image. He has no substance.

***to be seen as meddling***

***hopey dopey fool***

But a slight rephrase,

That hopey dopey fool only cares about that hopey dopey fool!

When asked what he thought of the actual results, Obama voted “Present”

DA BEARRRS   June 16th, 2009 - 4:13 pm

The SPM-POTUS is “concerned” over a rigged election. Too bad he didn’t have that kind of concern when he and the Democrats were paying ACORN to stuff the ballot box for him.

Bill   June 16th, 2009 - 4:15 pm

This guy would be funny if he wasn’t so pathetic.
Why doesn’t he just tell everyone that it’s above his paygrade.

Bulls*%t   June 16th, 2009 - 4:53 pm

this man is is full of S*&t! Never ever will he do the right thing.

T in Texas   June 16th, 2009 - 6:11 pm

So obama can’t stand to see voters antagonized? I guess the black panthers in the polling sites were there for hugs. This guy is a more embarassing, spineless, incompetent, deplorable president than I could ever have imagined. Thanks dems – you fools.

Obama meddles in everything else, why not this situation. He’s meddling with our freedom, our liberty and our constitution. Wake up Americans, this fascist wants to change America forever. He must be defeated in 2012.

sharon   June 16th, 2009 - 7:18 pm

What a hypocrite obama is! He can tell Israel what to do, but Iran can do whatever to their people. How did this boozo boy ever get in office? This country has to be the laughing stock of the world.

father_moray   June 16th, 2009 - 7:31 pm

Obama ya Mama…his experiment has failed…impeach…save America and the world from more of the democrats’ acornish toxicities.

But he can meddle in Israeli matters

Get rid of the prez of Iran & the ayatollas they are screwing that country up

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   June 16th, 2009 - 8:40 pm

America…Bilderberg Bush-Obama has his marching orders from the Bilderbergs…hold tight…don’t get involved!

What’s the problem with that?

I can tell you what is wrong with that…we are a Democratic nation…we are a free thinking, free society that has freedoms and liberties bestowed by our great governing document…the Constitution!

We have always, always, spoken up in the defense of citizens around the world who are fighting for the same.

Do we need to go over and take over to help them? No!

Can our President speak on our behalf and tell them we are with them and praying for them? Yes!

America…if you are a praying man/woman…when you pray for America and Israel…pray for all freedom lovers all over our great planet who just want to be free and are living under tyranny and oppression instead!

========================

JUST ANOTHER PATHETIC DAY IN THE ‘REIGN OF THE FIRST MUSLIM PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’…UNFORTUNATELY!

Since when does he not want to meddle? Looks like he has not qualms about meddling in the world economy. Didn’t I just see that he wants globalization of various industries and firms. Didn’t he just meddle in our relations with Cuba? Didn’t he just meddle with the Muslim world in Cairo and with Israel and the West Bank? Who is he trying to kid? This man is running a very dangerous administration– hopefully he won’t call off the 4th of July for the 57 states of the Union. Oh yeah, I forgot he wants everyone to display the U.S. flag all of a sudden. I wonder if he ever displayed one back in Hawaii, Indonesia, Ca, Illinois? He is fake– he has fooled the uninformed and those in the Obama cult but many of us are not fooled and our worst fears are being realized every day that this administration is in power. I hope every state has thousands of tea parties on the 4th. Get out and show your support for America and the Constitution — before it’s too late! In God we trust– and that doesn’t mean Obama ( even though the Left thinks he is a god.)

American Liberal   June 16th, 2009 - 11:06 pm

He (BHO) is sure glad to meddle here and screw up our country but Iran is off limits. No nuclear power here but it’s alright in Iran.
