Iran's Ahmadinejad congratulates Obama on US presidency
AFP ^ | 11-6-08

Posted on 11/06/2008 9:08:29 AM PST by kingattax

TEHRAN (AFP) — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday congratulated president-elect Barack Obama on his success -- rare praise between the two countries which are archfoes, state agency IRNA reported.

"I congratulate you on being able to attract the majority of votes of the participants of the election," Ahmadinejad said in a message to Obama carried by IRNA.

"You know the opportunities bestowed upon people by God are short-lived," he said.

"I hope you make the most of the chance of service and leave a good name by preferring people's real interests and justice to the insatiable demands of a selfish and indecent minority."

Ahmadinejad told Obama: "You are generally expected to make a fast and clear response to the demands for basic... change in US domestic and foreign policy, which all people in the world and Americans want on top of your agenda."

Bush has 75 days to take out Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. If he doesn’t, Israel will certainly have to go it alone.

Woke uyp to nausiating newsreports htis morning as the media is falling all over themselves appologizing already for Obama and hte fact that it will take ‘more than a few short years’ to ‘enact and impliment his policies’, and I read about how Russia’s placements of short range missles near Poland is an “Aggressive maneuver” that is in “Stark contrast to” the “Global good will” that the “Obama election” has brought. Good golly!

Oh yeah, and hte AP is so giddy with Obama’s election that they are waxing eloquent claiming that Senator McCain took a “Shellacking” and the GOP is in “Virtual Tatters” and may not survive. I can almost see the writer writhing in exstasy as they squirmed in pleasure with a ‘tingly sensation’ running up their leg like Cris Mathews had that one night. lol

4 years of the press fauning over Obama and making every excuse in the book for their beloved Marxist when his policies prove to be nothign more than pure unnadulterated extreme liberalism

I’m not sure Obama’s gonna be that much a pushover to these bullies. I mean, how’s he gonna get re-elected if Israel’s nuked. Obama’s an appeaser, but he’s not that stupid, even through he’s gonna burn up a ton of Teleprompters next year.

Like I told all my liberal Jewish Obama-loving co-workers before the election. In the event your man gets in, you can kiss Israel goodbye.

But most American Jews seem to hate Israelis anyway. I’m sorry to say it but it appears to be true.

From the article: “The US government’s interference should be limited to that country’s geographical boundaries,” Ahmadinejad said, according to IRNA.”

Ahmadinejad wants us to model his Iran. Everyone knows that they don’t interfere with anything beyond their geographical boundaries. /sarc

Guilt. Also snobbery. A lot of American Jews regard Israelis as pushy, coarse and vulgar. At least that’s how it seems to me.

could have a point there

I argued though e-mail for 4 days with a NY Jewish woman I thought I knew

I gave her lots of facts about obama and Israel, even telling her about Hamas endorsing obama

she shrugged it all off and when I told her that she does not seem to be getting all the facts and that the media is baised she then started saying it was a nazi thing as the Nazis sued to do the same
I then gave her non biased sites on the emdia and she refused to admit it still

it does seem no matter what a Dem does about Israel they American Jews for the most part are just plain ignorant and thick

The final straw was when she gave me links from the huffington post

that is when I realised I do not know her any more and alas it seems she has turned radical left like her husband

so much so for him that he moved to chappaqua to live in the same town as Clinton

I’m amazed at how much abuse the libs take from their candidates, but they still vote for them.
It’s like watching an abused woman stand by her man.

What is wrong with Pennsylvanians? Exactly HOW BADLY do you have to insult them to stop them from voting for you?

We’ve got a local congress critter up on assault charges for slapping a gun dealer last month (the dealer asked the congressman to please not handle the merchandise) - he won re-election easily.

It doesn’t matter to libs what you say or what you do.
They’re absolutely insane.

“But most American Jews seem to hate Israelis anyway”

Why IS that?”
___________________________________________

Off the top of my head, I’d make the analogy to why left wing feminists decided they loathe Sarah Palin. She represents the right way of livng according to stated principles, and they are pretenders who know the real thing when they see it. So they feel inferior and therefore resentful.

But they are too intellectually lazy to adhere to the more challenging way to live. So they pretend to be something they are not, but when compared to the real deal, they fall short, and resort to loathing (and self loathing).
