Does that mean he can be labeled a Kenyan-Indonesian?
does he mean Iranian first, American second?
Of course to me this is just another reason that the USA should not allow dual "citizenship" under any circumstances.
Probably his first step in writing her off as Iranian and not an issue for America to get involved with.
Isn’t that what she is?
So I can say he’s a Muslim-POS-Kenyan?
He’s gone from being disappointed to concerned...and I’m waiting to hear how “saddened” he will be by the “tragic” death that will undoubtedly find her before he does anything; that is if you count crying to show how “saddened” he is as an action.

Iran jails US journalist Roxana Saberi as spy
Diplomatic row breaks out as Iranian-American reporter Roxana Saberi threatens to go on hunger strike after eight-year sentence
Just Read Steelfish refer to Barack Obama as "B. Hussein O" in a FreeRepublic post. So our fellow Freeper thinks of Americans by only their middle names, with only first and last initials.
Odd. Do you also refer to "J. Sydney M" and "G. Walker B"? Just wondering.
Is this the only thread on this hostage crisis?
The actual news is that she was sentenced to EIGHT YEARS.
All I have heard is Obama’s statement to the effect that
“I am convinced she was not engaged in espionage”.
So what’s the implication of that? If she WAS engaged in espionage she deserves eight years?
Is this UNBELIEVABLE?????
What did we do to deserve this miserable wretch despoiling the White House?
Can you imagine anything more tepid and non-committal?
He might have gained a point by issuing a statement ad hominem, to the effect that “looks like Ahmedinijad is trying to test me. He’s making a mistake”.Uh-uh..... looks like we have to endure another week or so of this Administration sorting things out and trying to figure out
how to get through this without threats or even showing the Iranians we think what they are doing in criminal.
Here is another thing that will be interesting to watch, since it is INDEED another “test”, and it’s coming at the beginning of his Presidency, just as Carter’s hostage situation came at the end of his.
did he call her sweetie?
The List, ping
It could be worse - wikipedia says she is “Iranian-Japanese-American” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roxana_Saberi
but she does apparently have Iranian and American citizenship so I can how you’d say Iranian-American. Or at least how he would.
The Kenyan-anti-American.
