TEHRAN, Iran — The contrasts were vivid: Pro-government supporters chanted "Death to America" and stomped on U.S. flags Wednesday while not far away, hundreds of opposition protesters denounced Iran's leaders and appealed to America's president to choose sides.
"Obama, Obama, you are either with them, or with us," the anti-government protesters chanted in Farsi, in an amateur video clip widely circulated on the Internet.
The new and startling appeal to President Barack Obama came as Iran's opposition protesters returned to the streets in large numbers for the first time in nearly two months. Authorities were ready with the same sweeping measures they used to quell fierce election-fraud protests this summer and early fall: Sending paramilitary units to key locations to fire tear gas and beat people with batons.

Sadly, “Them”.
Those freedom seeking Iranians had better be careful. The Administration may send CIA special ops over to take them out. Can’t have the pantywaist called out by brave people.
He needs to answer them. If he doesn’t, the world will know where he stands and it ain’t with the people.
CIA “special ops”?? LOL
Misnomer if there ever was one.
"Fools...I just give pre-written speeches from teleprompters..."
He won’t even give straight answers to us the people he represents, why would he give answers to those that can’t vote for him?
He already answered them... by supporting the regime as they cut them down, when it would’ve mattered most.
He was busy ‘not interfering’ with Israel on settlements and pushing Zelaya back into power.
One side shouts “Death to America” and stomps on U.S. flags, the other side shouts, “Obama, you are either with them, or with us!” Doesn’t seem like a hard choice.
SHOUT IT LOUD!
Stand up for your freedom!!!
So? He answered those that, according to law, couldn’t vote for him in this country! What the hell does he care ...sarc/
Reagan would not have to take much time to decide which side he was on. He would be on the side of those who champion freedom and democracy. I don’t expect 0bama to be as decisive.
Obama isn’t going to Berlin to celebrate its downfall, and he’s not going to do anything to harm the mad mullahs whom Carter helped into power. We know what side he’s on in the long march for human liberty, the state’s.
“Present!”
I have a wild prediction to make: 0bama will make speech full of soaring rhetoric expertly read from a teleprompter.
Keith Olbermann will gush about the strong position 0bama took.
Chris Matthews will feint.
FOX News will miss it to cover a car chase in LA.
100s of Iranians will be killed.
Good one! LOL!
