AL ARABIYA: Will the United States ever live with a nuclear Iran? And if not, how far are you going in the direction of preventing it?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: You know, I said during the campaign that it is very important for us to make sure that we are using all the tools of U.S. power, including diplomacy, in our relationship with Iran.
Now, the Iranian people are a great people, and Persian civilization is a great civilization. Iran has acted in ways that's not conducive to peace and prosperity in the region: their threats against Israel; their pursuit of a nuclear weapon which could potentially set off an arms race in the region that would make everybody less safe; their support of terrorist organizations in the past – none of these things have been helpful.
But I do think that it is important for us to be willing to talk to Iran, to express very clearly where our differences are, but where there are potential avenues for progress. And we will over the next several months be laying out our general framework and approach. And as I said during my inauguration speech, if countries like Iran are willing to unclench their fist, they will find an extended hand from us.
Note how he never says that the US will not tolerate a nuclear Iran. Expect a nuclear Iran very soon.
Don’t forget the VP is a brilliant man and that running a campaign gave Obama enough experience to run this country.
Your not alone Brother!
Saving your reply. It says it all...and I’m freakin’ out, too!
Yes, we certainly are.
...close the prison that holds our most implacable foes...send money around the world to export the slaughter of innocents...destroy human life for scientific research...proclaim he is releasing “science” from its dungeon of the past 8 years...50 states creating their own automobile efficiency and “pollution” standards...
Worse, far worse than I ever thought. And every last drop of it predicted here on FR. What a freaking mess we are in.
The cia,nsa,fbi should take him out behind the barn & blister his a$$
This guy is the exact opposite of Ronald Regan. He is nothing more than an @ss kissing appeaser. All who serve and have served should hang their heads in shame. Keep kissing it Obami and they will be nice to us.
His niavete is that of a five year old child.
Y'all shouldn't believe the temporary liberal Prez. He's a little confused. See, we not Muslim like he is so we just want you to know that WE ARE YOUR ENEMY!
IF you ever attack America again, you're going to find out just how much of an enemy we are!
Islamics to Barry Hussein O.
“We can’t wait to kill Americans.”
The dolt-in-chief will get a lot of people killed, I wonder if Pelosi considers that part of the economic stimulus plan.
Cindy, I'm terrified this conniver would surrender our whole nation under a strong enough threat. As long as the enemy promised him a high place in the new government. He does not have America's best interests at heart and can't be trusted. How did anyone give this man any security clearance?
“How did anyone give this man any security clearance?”

Sorroy, 444 Flyer I don’t have an answer for your question.
Thanks for clearing that up,I was getting worried! Here I thought Zero was an incompetent bumbling fool.
What about Kenyans?
Did Hussein say anything about his people?
Zer0 wants to finish what Carter started; total capitulation to the muzzie’s
Your argument assumes that there is a nearby barn.
euphemism
Hey Zero! Here is a clue: 9-11. You can lay on your couch and dream about how much you love the Arabs. You can put on the rose glasses and buy a set of heavy duty knee pads. The truth of it is they believe it is their god’s call to them to defeat the West. Not only do they hate us, but their god hates us. This is programmed into all of their people.
