Former political prisoner(tortured for his beliefs) Iranian dissident Ahmad Batebi:
"His (Obama) lack of response will not be regarded lightly. We will watch for how much his response will help the people or the regime....If the world really wants the advent of terrorism to disappear in the Middle East, if they want peace with the Palestinians and Israel, if they want nuclear techhology to be developed for peaceful things and not nuclear weapons... They only need to support the people of Iran right now. This regime has the most dangerous of ideologies. They're killing the opposition."
Shame, shame on Obama and his party. This is not your grandfather's or even your father's Democrat Party.

and his disapproval ratings are getting stronger! Go Obama!"The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 32% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-four percent (34%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -2. That’s the President’s lowest rating to date and the first time the Presidential Approval Index has fallen below zero for Obama."
Not in America. China maybe?
Oops, wrong again. Some kind of Right wing blog calling itself the Bureau of Labor site [ http://www.bls.gov/ ] "Regional and state unemployment rates were nearly all higher in May. Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia recorded over-the-month unemployment rate increases, 1 state registered a rate decrease, and 1 state had no rate change, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today."
What, like "Let em eat ice cream" ?

It's Iran we are talking about. Not "the rest of the world" - i.e. European journos and Commonwealth pikers.

Ansar Hezbollah has members among the Basij religious police brutalizing ordinary Iranians for the last week.
This is the same Hezbollah that killed hundreds of American Marines in Beirut.
Our rookie president needs to lead, or step aside.

Obama would do well to recall what Iron John Howard had to say on this subject:
"If you imagine that you can buy immunity from fanatics by curling yourself in a ball, apologising for the world - to the world - for who you are and what you stand for and what you believe in, not only is that morally bankrupt, but it’s also ineffective. Because fanatics despise a lot of things and the things they despise most is weakness and timidity. There has been plenty of evidence through history that fanatics attack weakness and retreating people even more savagely than they do defiant people."

Is Obama timid? I reckon he is incredulous and bewildered - like most on the Left - that ordinary Iranians want what we in America have.

In case you were wondering whixh side Obama is on...
"Newsmax has learned that the Obama administration has zeroed out funding for pro-democracy programs inside Iran from the State Department budget for fiscal 2010, just as protests in Iran are ramping up.
"Funding for pro-democracy programs began in 2004, when Congress earmarked $1.5 million of the State Department budget for “educational, humanitarian, and non-governmental organizations and individuals inside Iran to support the advancement of democracy and human rights in Iran.”

Come on - think.
I'm an "Islamophobe." Remember?
What I supported was US victory over the Iraqi Republican Guard (achieved); the deposal of the genocidal dictator Saddam Hussein (achieved); regime change (achieved); and laying the groundwork for an attempt - noble I still believe - at offering the Iraqis some chance at self-determination (you can call it democracy if u want) and a fair shot at the epochal but possibly fleeting opportunities offered by "globalization", something which surely the Brits here have to admit - when discussing former colonies and protectorates - should hardly be limited to India. Right?
We have been over this a hundred times. The president, the Congress and the American public sent our military to war. The president had overwhelming support for the decision. I can believe a lot of things about Dumbya but that he hoodwinked the Senate and talked the public into an "unjust and illegal war - to steal all a duh oil!" is not one of them.
Once that decision was made to send in US troops I was behind it completely.As I have also pointed out here before the military is the most respected institution in the country. (It also the most "color-blind" ,a fact which I notice is never brought up on the disproportionately large number of threads in the World section focusing exclusively on "racism in America.") I believe it is in the best interests of the US - and by extension the free world - that the almost sacred bond of trust between the American people and our men and women in uniform be as strong as possible.

Politicians from one party, appointing themselves priests of some sort, arrogate unto themselves the unearned right to apologize on behalf of an entire people for what a portion of its long-dead forerunners did; "Liberal" activists constantly tell us that "hate crimes" are on the rise; Hollywood picks at the wound whenever possible - in addition to fabricating myths that enter popular culture and basically achieve acceptance as historical fact, and yet America passed a point somewhere in the '90s where more Africans had willingly immigrated to the US than were brought by European slavers in the era before the Republican Abraham Lincoln, making good on one of the founding principles of his party, took the country into the bloodiest and most costly war in our glorious history and eventually helped end slavery.

More lies from Obama. He'll say anything, whatever it takes to get him to the next interview.
Progressives like him and Hillary (It Takes a Village...) want the State, the teacher, the social worker, the neighborhood "Americorps" leader, if not local Democrat organizations and approved media figures, to determine your child's future.
Look what the bogus "war on Poverty" and the deeply cynical "Great Society" programs did to the urban black family in America.
Who benefitted? Democrats.

Thanks for confirming what I have said for years - The Democrats are the party of the rich and one of the most pernicious myths in America is that Big Business (Microsoft, etc) is monolithically Republican.
