Obama Breaks Promise to Iran
ConservativeAmerican.org ^ | 12/29/9 | Peter Andrew

"Yesterday, President Barack Obama said, “We will continue to bear witness to the extraordinary events (in Iran)"...Bear witness? That’s it? That’s not what he promised!

We take you back to December 1st, 2009.

In his address to the nation from West Point, the President promised to be there for those oppressed by tyranny. From the Official Obama Administration Scandals List # 842:

(12/1/9) "Tonight, the President of the United States told a brazen lie about Supporting Freedom. Barack Obama tonight said “America will speak out for” those living in tyranny! That’s a dang lie! He was silent when voices oppressed by tyranny in Iran were crying out(this summer)! ...The truth: Don’t count on America to help you during the Obama Presidency. These were words, just words."

(Obama 12/1/9:) "And we must make it clear to every man, woman and child around the world who lives under the dark cloud of tyranny that America will speak out on behalf of their human rights, and tend to the light of freedom, and justice, and opportunity, and respect for the dignity of all peoples. That is who we are. That is the moral source of America's authority."

So is "bearing witness" (that's fancy talk for sitting back, grabbing a bag of chips and just watching) "tending to the light of freedom?!" So on the one hand he says what is happening in Iran is not about the United States, while he just got done saying that tending to the light of freedom is who we are and is the moral source of America's authority!!!!

It gets worse...As we reported (in June), Obama said...The people of Iran “Can speak for themselves!”

Obama is a joke when it comes to anything other than shoving his reparations policies down our throats.

This man is a disgrace to our once strong nation.

All he learned those years in government was how to vote present.

Just an empty suit.

We were treated to yet another round of The One’s vacuous oratory yesterday when he addressed the Flight 253 situation. Talk, talk, talk. Not only was it a delayed response, it was typically short on specifics. Words, nothing more.

Bear Witness? Real people don't talk like that. I wonder if the reverb was turned up high in his sound system when he said this, so he would sound more God like?
