The world is bearing witness all right to Obama’s weak and lukewarm responses. What else can you expect from a Community Organizer lacking in diplomatic and world leadership experience and skills. He must be afraid he will lose his moment in the sun to sit down and make a pacifist out of Ahmedinijahd. My heart breaks for the Iranian protesters who cannot even get the ” Leader ” of the Free World to do more than utter a so-called statement of support a week after the protests started. This man does everything for political expediency. I hope we can survive his Presidency– please contact your Congressmen and urge them to continue to pressure the White House for stronger support of the Iranian protesters. This man was ill prepared to lead our country — I hope we can salvage our nation when his presidency is over.

Well I’ll give credit where credit is due and thank the President for not letting this New York piece of liberal garbage get away with using the word treacherous to describe President Bush’s words.

Mr Prez SHOW SOME TESTICLE FORTITUDE!
Jon McCaneJune 22nd, 2009 - 12:37 pm
I believe in Cowboy Diplomacy and the Bush Doctrine.
The USA should dip in this and make it seem like the protesters are being back back the USA.
That would make it harder for the protesters but what the heck.
Henry Kissinger said on Fox News and I quote.” Well, you know, I was a McCain supporter and — but I think the president has handled this well. Anything that the United States says that puts us totally behind one of the contenders, behind Mousavi, would be a handicap for that person. And I think it’s the proper position to take that the people of Iran have to make that decision.
Of course, we have to state our fundamental convictions of freedom of speech, free elections, and I don’t see how President Obama could say less than he has, and even that is considered intolerable meddling. He has, after all, carefully stayed away from saying things that seem to support one side or the other. And I think it was the right thing to do because public support for the opposition would only be used by Ahmadinejad”
Who cares what Kissinger has to say.I say Bomb bomb, bomb,bomb bomb Iran.
WhatwhatwhatJune 22nd, 2009 - 1:08 pm
Of course Kissinger agrees with the President on our stance. No one with a brain could conclude otherwise. Rethugs just want to play games and the adults in charge don’t have that luxury. Mr. President, you are absolutely correct. The reich-wing “let’s show our a$$ and act like we run everything” Rethugs are imbeciles and should be ignored…as usual.
DaveJune 22nd, 2009 - 1:34 pm
Although I’m libertarian and could never vote for Obama,one must give him credit for not meddling in the Iranian’s elections.
How soon we Americans wish to forget that we overthrew their democratic elections in 1953 and installed our controllable Shah(whom the Iranian’s despised).
All Iranians know about this history,few Americans know of it thanks to our ass kissing, Israeli controlled media.
MYOB for a change!June 22nd, 2009 - 1:43 pm
Too bad we weren’t concerned when the Shah (our guy) was shooting down people! Maybe it’s time to shut up and let them figure it out.
father_morayJune 22nd, 2009 - 2:28 pm
Like Clinton attacking Microsoft, the al Qaeda in the Whitehouse b;asts Bush and Cheny far worse than his friends ruling Iran…faux Presidents in both nations…Acorned by both…impeach Obama and ImaJihadji!
isn’t it interesting….for a guy who says, “I never watch the news or read the papers” Obama sure knows a lot about what folks are saying… apparently he knows exactly what Bush said about him….and he obviously worries a lot about what others say.
His skin is so thin it is transparent. He said last week that “you’d be hard pressed to find anything positive said about me on a certain (Fox News) cable news channel (confirmed by interviewer).” So I am assuming he sits around or has someone sitting around all day watching all the nasty things Fox says about him….what an Ego!!!!
this guy is scary.

OK. How historically are the Ayatollahs worse than the Shah? And don’t say that they started a war with Iraq. We ginned that one up with Rummy’s buddy, Sadam, after the hostage crisis.

Simple numbers. The Ayatollahs executed more people in one year than the Shah did in 25.
This particular LEFT-WING WACKJOB OBAMA FREAK has so many stage names he can’t remember them unless he gets back on the same drugs he was taking the last time he used one of them. I however am keeping a record.
This WACKO is off in some bizarre dreamland and keeps one leg shaved so he can pretend he’s sleeping with a woman.

The cognitive dissonance of the small minority of Americans who listen to Boss Limbaugh, click on The Drudge Report, and watch Sean Vanity, Glenn Beck, and Bill Oreally on the Fox Nothing Channel is intense. They just whine and bitch, and moan. These NEO fake Conservatives would have been wise to tone it down a notch, but oh well. Most Americans don’t know much about Iran and 1953. 1979 was blowback. 911 was blowback. USA! USA!
So what happened to the hunt for Osama B Laden?

BEAR WITNESS??????
Massive, blatant voter fraud…
Hundreds of thousand crying out for freedom…
Vicious crackdowns with guns, clubs and gas…
Young men and woman shot down in cold blood…
Meanwhile- our self-loving, narcissist “president” who has no heart, no real morals, no conscience, has to check and see which way the polls swing.
THEN he can have a “position” on the bloodshed. Meanwhile, spout empty high-sounding platitudes.
He is a coward and a national disgrace.
But then- his “presidency” was produced by the same kind of voter fraud, lies, deceit and intimidation he now refuses to condemn in Iran. To his dark and twisted soul, it’s “politics as usual”.
Iranians do not need or want us to teach them about liberty and representative government. They have long embodied this struggle. It is we who need to be taught. It was Washington that orchestrated the 1953 coup to topple Iran’s democratically elected government, the first in the Middle East, and install the compliant shah in power. It was Washington that forced Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh,

The only real pressure here is what the Ayatollah’s sphincter is putting on Obama’s tongue!

Dear racerx and whutwhutwhut,
Let me make this perfectly clear.
(and please, don’t think I’m holding back about what I want you to do to yourselves, or whatever you might imagine I’d love to do to you, your kind, and most of all, the piece of crap you call commander in chief)
The next time you are sitting alone in your crappy little world, holding a gun in your mouth, thinking about how very crappy your life, and everything you’ve every done in life has turned out to be,
do us all a favor,
pull the trigger,
the rest of us would be so very better off without s h i t like you in it!
now,
go
kill yourselves~
the world will love you for it
Visualize a combat boot with it’s heel smashing in your adam’s apple and an M16’s barrel being pushed through your eye socket, stopping only because the back of your skull and the ground will give up nothing, then a burst of light and sound, a nano-second before your life ends and you now have to explain everything you’ve ever done, said, or thought about, to the rest of the universe.
Well,… “ I support a mother’s right to kill her baby if it is inconvenient to her.â€
“Murderer’s have a right to kill anyone who doesn’t support their right to govern the poor and stupid, however Kim Jung Il tells them to.â€
“Marriage is just as moral between a man’s behind cheeks as it is anyone’s!â€
“A baby thrown in a dumpster is better off than one born to someone too stupid to love it.â€

Wow, I really thought you were going to like that last article. Maybe we’ll grab that beer another time, when you’re not so grumpy.
Say, Sarge, has anyone ever suggested that you talk to a counselor? or that you check yourself into a mental health facility for a while?
It might do you a world of good. You never know.
They might also have some medication that could possibly help you.
Anyway, I’m petty confident you’re going to love this next article. Check it out!

“Wow, I really thought you were going to like that last article. Maybe we’ll grab that beer another time, when you’re not so grumpy.”
Sorry racerx…
You sort of did a big dump on your credibility here with your 911 inside job posts…
Go try and drown yourself in your toilet… I bet even SuperSarge229 could do that if required….

L,
Well it sounds like you really understand exactly how everything happened on 9/11. This is very exciting! You’ve certainly got your audience paying attention now!
Listen, I’ve had so many unanswered questions, and it seems I’m not alone. Apparently 36 percent of the U.S. population does not buy the “official” version of what happened on 9/11. Thank goodness you’re here to explain it to all of us!
Let’s start off with one or two basic questions, and we’ll go from there. OK?! Let’s get started!
First, please explain to us all how two jetliners brought down three separate skyscrapers in Manhattan(WTC1, WTC2, Building 7) on September 11, 2001?
SundownerJune 22nd, 2009 - 11:23 pm
Do they actually let you roam around unsupervised whatwhatwhattrentracerxanexioimaretardedliberal? You libs need to get a job and occupy your time with something constructive rather than hanging out on message boards all day looking like retards. Not that I’m not in any mood to help Larse out, who is probably just another one of your alts you keep going so it can appear someone actually pays attention to you, but a quick search on the internet would reveal tons of evidence to the contrary concerning your little tinfoil hat theories. Here’s one link to start you off….see if you can form the next thought on your own now and figure out yet another link to try. *mumbles something about libs being too stupid to breathe successfully without whispering to themselves breathe in….breathe out…..breathe in…..*
IMHO, the debate has moved beyond the vast scope of the original P.M. article; please see this linked article – definitely never reported in the MSM – liberal or conservative – that came out after that P.M. article.
�BOMBS INSIDE WTC�
FIRE OFFICER SAYS FIREMEN, COPS KNOW TRUTH
It�s amazing how many people are afraid to talk for fear of retaliation or losing their jobs,� said Isaac, regarding the FBI gag order placed on law enforcement and fire department officials, preventing them from openly talking about any inside knowledge of 9-11.
OMG you need to get some help, whichevernameyouwannauseonthispost. The reason the debate has moved past anything is because in your tinfoil hat wearing, black helicopter seeing little minds you just refuse to believe anything as truth. I myself looked into all these conspiracy sites after 9/11 for the laughter they provided and the people like you that just insist something had to be done by our very government.
Hindsight is always 20/20. I can come up with alot of reasons for a person using multiple names on a message board such as them being lonely in real life so they make up message board “friends” to help them argue their case. Possibly needing quite a bit of therapy. The need to believe anything anti-establishment coming from years of indoctrination into fringe liberal ideology.
Now if you like I can go look up websites and list examples that fit you to a T, right down to you being the 45 year old man living in your mom’s basement yet. You are stuck on stupid as General Tommy Franks used to say, at least I believe it was him. Try looking outside that little glass bubble you live in.

Bush talks about EXPLOSIVES in building (on 9/11?)
lol Just one more interview with zero credibility. Harry Smith. lol
“ok Mister President, here’s the next question. Are you ready? ok. What’s….your….favorite color?
No wonder the left is nothing but meandering, drooling stooges of the DNC. Even Juan Wlliams knows enough to call a spade a spade.
Now Harry go wipe off that nose!
