"To the people of Iran: You are rich in culture and talent. You have a right to live under a government that listens to your wishes, respects your talents, and allows you to build better lives for your families. Unfortunately, your government denies you these opportunities, and threatens the peace and stability of your neighbors. So we call on the regime in Tehran to heed your will, and to make itself accountable to you. The day will come when the people of Iran have a government that embraces liberty and justice, and Iran joins the community of free nations. And when that good day comes, you will have no better friend than the United States of America." - President George W. Bush, January 13, 2008.
Thanks for the suggestion, Jim!
This makes me cry for what all of us have lost.
In the meantime the stupid suit goes for ice cream.
MSNBC is all over that. This just in the president chose Barack 0bama flavored icecream.
Thanks for posting. I think President Bush had the most difficult task since WWII...He never faltered. He was a good “Father of our Country”.
This is what a REAL U.S. President has to say to the people of Iran!
For many, I'm sure Dubya' (a true American with sovereign conviction) is sorely missed.
This should have been the US response from day one (reinforcement of what was previously said). Instead, Republicans and the American public have basically had to stick their hands through the president’s you know what and move his lips for him.
Our foreign policy is a laughing stock.
But we still have the cool black guy.
President Custard
But we still have the cool black guy.

Screw that dude.
Is the Bush foreign policy of spreading Freedom & Democracy in the middle east seeping into Iran now?
Big Media will not give him his due, but history will.
What? A date night for cream now?
The jerk has delusions of saving the world with his rhetoric that convinces nutjob to disarm. And the world is supposed to twiddle it’s thumbs waiting for zero’s mouth to save us all.
I think if he had his way....he’d end up “ruling” us just like the Mullas rule Iran.
Now, don’t bring the president’s color into this.
This phony, balony, plastic banana, goodtime rock 'n' roller we have now is not a President. He is not a world leader. He's just an unemployable, two-bit community organizer. He should have stuck to visiting graveyards to register 'RAT voters. He is now in WAY over his head. This job is way above his pay grade and intellectual abilities.
When I look at what is going on right now in Iran, I do believe that it's time for the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA to get up off of his ice cream loving ass and get "some skin in the game." If he doesn't, America is going to pay the price down the road.
Liberty will come to those who love it. All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you."- President George W. Bush, 1/20/2005
Yep, that's what an inbred understanding and conviction for truth and justice creates.
....you people don't have any guns, so you are toast.
I, the great Obama, am not about to help you out...you must fight the lunatic mullas with sticks and clubs....
...just face it, many of you will get killed since YOU DON'T HAVE ANY GUNS.
We in the Unites States were considering disarming the American People, but since you took the dangerous and deadly course that you have taken, we can forget that for the time being.
I, the great an powerful Obama, am, however, hoping that the American people's memory will be as short as ever, and we can actually get their guns by the time I leave office.
Thanks and good luck without any hope of defending yourselves...I hope the burkas fit loosely on your women.
To Iran: God’s Will is in your favor. It is in the favor of all those who wish for peace. Who command for humans to respect their fellow man. God is never on the side of tyrants who cause unspeakable horror against their people. God is never on the side of those who condemn the innocent to death. God’s Will is reflected in your bravery and your valiance, and your will to succeed. The line has been drawn and there is no going back. Iran, we may not be there protesting with you, but we are with you. We are with you in our hearts, in our prayers, and in our common understanding of the principle of freedom. Press on. This fight is yours if you want it to be. The world is watching, the world is supporting, and the world is praying for you. God is on your side, not on the side of those who would punish the will of the people.
"There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant, and that is the force of human freedom.It was George Bush's policy of direct engagement and support of liberty that has led to the people of Iran seeing the measure of freedom now established on both sides of them in Iraq and Afghjanistan...and desiring it for themselves.
"All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: The United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you.
"Democratic reformers facing repression, prison or exile can know: America sees you for who you are -- the future leaders of your free country.
"The rulers of outlaw regimes can know that we still believe as Abraham Lincoln did: "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it."
George W. Bush Jan 2005
Obama cannot possibly go too far in recognizing that, or he absolutely repudiates himself and his entire foreign policy.
...but the fight in Iran is far from over, and is getting brutal.

URGENT: HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT IRANIAN PROTESTORS RIGHT NOW...ON TWITTER
AMERICANS SUPPORTING IRAN LIBERTY
AMERICANS DON'T NEED OBAMA SPEAKING FOR THEM, WE'RE FREE AND CAN SPEAK FOR OURSELVES
You can follow me on twitter if you want.http://www.twitter.com/Jeff_Head
Dems/libs stumble around searching for a clue. Any clue.
I so wish Bush would go out and make a semi public statement regarding Iran. It will inflame the liberals and draw the clearest distinction between himself and this cockroach we have in the White House.
Obama: PRESENT!
Zero doesn't even support liberty and justice for Americans.
Well and truly said, dear EGPWS!
Sadly, it appears that some who experience the greatest freedom via a democratic republic are growing bored with their, sought after by many, possession.
Obama doesn’t want to take sides..... except his own of course.... he’ll take the side of anything he thinks will glorify himself.
He’s a Scmoo!
Obama, the all knowing and all seeing potentate of humanity bestowed upon this planet to save it for humanity.
Just ask him....
Thank you BUMP!
Correction on the ice cream flavor of the day:
Barack -2bama flavored icecream.
Have you seen him riding a bike? He looks like a nerd, without the charisma.
Don’t kid yourself...Obama is all about not offending the Mullahs....something he learned before he was a coke head!!
America has already paid the price. Our enemies have no greater friend in the White House and our allies now know they no longer have the US as the leader of the free world.
(US) House condemns Tehran crackdown on protesters ( 405 in favor, Ron Paul against )
Bttt
Not if you ask HIM.
I was thinking, “What! The U.S. has a president?” and then it clicked: it had.
missing a true statesman ping!
In other words, before the election was stolen, before the protests, before the violence, before the wanton murder of harmless spectators...George W. Bush gave a stronger statement for Iranian freedom and against the Islamofascist regime than Obama has done AFTER all that occurred.

Huh?
Guess we showed the world that we are not a racist nation. LOL

...which brings to mind a question: Are ice cream shops with teleprompters common on the east coast? We have some pretty weird things out here in California, but that's one I haven't seen yet.
