Democratic and Republican presidential hopefuls looking for endorsements can cross one potential backer off their list: Iran.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini earlier this week announced that Iran's leaders will not support any U.S. candidate running for president, according to a report posted on IRNA, the country's official news agency.
Hosseini added that Iran hoped the presidential elections "would bring about serious changes in the incorrect approach of the present administration."
Meanwhile, London Mayor Ken Livingstone probably can cross Iran off his list of political supporters, too, after telling a gathering of Jewish community leaders that the idea of a society run by ayatollahs is "horrifying" and "completely wrong."
He then called Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a "barking mad."
Asked if he thought Iran was a threat and if he would condemn the Iranian regime, Livingstone mockingly said: "I notice I didn't get any praise from the Jewish community when I said I'd like to see the Saudi royal family swinging from the lampposts which I thought was a reasoned intervention into Middle Eastern affairs," according to a report in the Jerusalem Post.

Damn...now I don’t know what to do.

"D@mn. Well at least he's not a super-delegate."
Iran knows too well an explicit endorsement would be counterproductive.
So they want to deal with GW 4 more years ?
Cool , lock and load......

Suspect that Barack Hussien Obama is their H.O.P.E.
Unlike Osama bin Laden, Iranians are not stoopid. They knew any hint of ‘endorsement’ toward Obama or any of the Dims would be kiss of death to the person they endorsed.
Another disappointed Kucinich fan, truth be told. BTT.
H.O.P.E.
Hussein Obama President Elect?
Iran is definitely sending Obama a message: they are not happy with his latest interview with an Israeli reporter that quoted him saying he thought Israel had a right to defend itself.
Democrats around this country breathe a collective sigh of relief.
For the time being I'manutjob will think to himself his thoughts.
Phew...thank you!
Will think make Barack ( Oo ee oo ah ah, Tng tang,Wala wala bing bang ) Obama, cry?
Iran hoped the presidential elections “would bring about serious changes in the incorrect approach of the present administration.”
Obvious Democrat endorsement.
