If I were the Iranian Al Quds and had the Malihi family hostage in Iran (they are more likely Iranian Jews, IMO) I would have blackmailed Malihi to declare Obama INELIGIBLE as that would do the most to throw the US into a state of pandemonium!
I think the opposite to be true - the Iranian regime would want 0h0m0 to remain as president since he is an enemy of Israel and a friend of all radical Islamist governments, even helping to get more moderate ones overthrown and replaced by radicals as in Egypt.
What a misinterpretation of the situation. The Mullahs are being protected by Obama, he opposes their having to restitute about $2.5 billion, he is protecting their slaughter of Syrians by Qods forces, he promotes rabid Islam inside the USA.
Balanced against the vague results of NOT backing him is not a viable choice for the Mullahs. They can milk teh current situation and stillachieve ehwat you describe later.
