Obama on courageous Iranian protestors … weak and vacillating
Island Turtle ^ | June 21, 2009 | Corky Boyd

George Bush has been unequivocal in his support of freedom in Iran. Twice in his State of the Union addresses he spoke to the Iranian people.

And to the Iranian people, I say tonight: As you stand for your own liberty, America stands with you. --- State of the Union address February 2, 2005

And tonight, let me speak directly to the citizens of Iran: America respects you, and we respect your country. We respect your right to choose your own future and win your own freedom. And our nation hopes one day to be the closest of friends with a free and democratic Iran. --- State of the Union Address, January 31, 2006

Contrast that to Barack Obama’s tepid support.

I am deeply troubled by the violence that I’ve been seeing on television…. --- Obama, June 15, 2009

Obama has shown for the whole world to see that he is neither an American “leader” and even less “leader of the free world”. He is a weak thug-loving empty suit.

C’mon Corky! BO did finally do the trendy thing and jump on the band wagon, sort of, after Congress and other nations denounced Iran’s government!

“”I am deeply troubled by the violence that I’ve been seeing on television””

I would hope he has better things to do than watch TV.

Obama finally asked the regime to please stop murdering your citizens because the world is watching (in other words, it’s making them look bad)

"...upholding our values will shield us from terrorism ..."

Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama is not only letting down the people of Iran and ALL people who strive to live free, he's guaranteeing that if the mad mullahs are deposed, the new government will NOT be pro US. After all, he's not exactly giving them a reason for gratitude.

Obama had to wait until he got polling data. The messiah makes no comment until he sees how the winds are blowing.
