• Irandecision 2009: Barack Obama is the Worst Iranian President Ever

    iran-vote-protest

    We spoke too soon. Irandecision 2009 isn't over, not by a long shot, as protests continue despite crackdowns by government militias and police. Yet America's beloved president, Barack Muslim-World Obama, still lacks the cojones to say what needs to be said: "I'll be there at 11 a.m. Tuesday to recount your ballots myself."

    Honestly, this guy

    "The last thing that I want to do is to have the United States be a foil for those forces inside Iran who would love nothing better than to make this an argument about the United States," Obama said in an interview released Sunday. "We shouldn't be playing into that."

    Obama kept a public silence Sunday, although a spokesman said he discussed Iran with foreign policy advisers in the Oval Office for more than 30 minutes. He later went golfing in Virginia.

    Nothing infuriates Republicans more than a president who golfs as democracy burns, so, while Obama hit the links, GOP leaders hit the weekend talk show circuit…

    Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said a slow or muted U.S. response risks undermining the aspirations of Iranian voters to change or question their government.

    "If America stands for democracy and all of these demonstrations are going on in Tehran and other cities over there, and people don't think that we really care, then obviously they're going to question, 'do we really believe in our principles?"' Grassley said.

    You would think that after all these years of invasions and torture and use of the word 'Muslim' as a political flashpoint, the people over there would have a fairly firm grasp of our principles, but maybe Grassley's right.

    We can't be too careful these days.
