Iran: Tehran carefully rooting for Obama

Not only is Obama's middle name Hussein that of the prophet Mohammad's grandson (revered as the saint of all saints by Iran's majority Shiites) but the candidate's foreign policy seems light years away from the saber-rattling of President Bush and Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee.
...what Iranian elites say about Obama.
I should say, he is a phenomenon, based on what he has said so far, Sadegh Kharazzi, a former Iranian diplomat squarely in the reformist camp now out of power, said. Unless he is drawn into traditional Democratic Party ways, his election as a president will be welcomed in Iran.
The election of Obama, who has said he would engage in talks with Iran's leadership, could lead to direct negotiations between Washington and Tehran welcomed by many in Iran and the Middle East.

Tehran carefully rooting for Obama I wish they'd be less careful about it and break out the pompoms.

Another ringing endorsement of Obamao by the enemies of America, at least the external enemies of America, the enemy within is being somewhat quite, but they will erupt sooner or later.

Meanwhile, Fidel Castro writes a column lashing out against McCain and Bush. We only have to ask Chavez and the Syrian president to complete the poll among axis of evil members.

I'm away from my own PC so I don't have the link, but evidence (not the strongest, to be sure) suggests that his O-gaffeness's full Kenyan name is 'Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama.
I wish I could go to the Mission group in Kenya that has claimed this and verify it myself. Of course, it would be nice to ask Mr. O-gaffe himself.
To: Clairity
Now WHO woulda thunk THAT? Ya never know I guess.

I had no idea there was a poster using the same name I picked on my own. I made it up, never saw the same name anywhere. I am a brand new poster, though I have lurked on FR off and on, in spurts, to keep up with “breaking news” and interesting developments.

“his O-gaffeness’s full Kenyan name is ‘Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama.”
I read this myself somewhere. I wouldn’t be surprised.

Don’t confuse Clairity and Clarity. Two different people. Clarity left us years ago.
