So our President had a short-notice press conference today to rescue his plummeting numbers. From what I read in Fox News <\/a> it looks like he pretty much told the Iranian protesters “Adios”;<\/p>\n

“What’s happened in Iran is profound and we’re still waiting to see how it plays itself out,” Obama said. “It’s not too late for the Iranian government to recognize that there is a peaceful path that will lead to stability and legitimacy and prosperity for the Iranian people. We hope they take it.” He said there is a path for the country to engage with the global community. <\/p>\n

Obama also downplayed concerns that he’s not speaking out forcefully enough in support of the protesters, saying the Iranian people can “speak for themselves.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He keeps saying this is up to the Iranian people…problem is the people trying to ‘debate’ are being gunned down. Obama won’t say that he won’t recognize a government imposed by force.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Obama pretty much regurgitated what Dianne Feinstein said yesterday<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the president has it correct. \u2026 It is very crucial as I see it that we not have our fingerprints on this. That this really be truly inspired by the Iranian people. We don\u2019t know where this goes. And I sure wouldn\u2019t want to be responsible for thousands of people being killed, which is a distinct possibility.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The same type of namby-pamby BS that put the mullahs in power in the first place. Since the Obama administration has already decided to defund the democracy movement in Iran, I’m pretty sure they’ve already made up their minds about who is going to come out on top and they’re fine with the Iranian people being silenced as long as Obama can look like he’s making nice with the mullahs.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, he can’t afford to take his eye off the ball on domestic issues – so a safer world will just have to wait while he takes away our healthcare and drives taxes higher. That’s the priority right now – just ignore the unarmed Iranians facing the Islamic Republic’s thugs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
