Iran says Obama's offer to talk shows US failure
Breitbart.com ^ | 01.31.09

US President Barack Obama's offer to talk to Iran shows that America's policy of "domination" has failed, the government spokesman said on Saturday.

"This request means Western ideology has become passive, that capitalist thought and the system of domination have failed," Gholam Hossein Elham was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.

"Negotiation is secondary, the main issue is that there is no way but for (the United States) to change," he added.

After nearly three decades of severed ties, Obama said shortly after taking office this month that he is willing to extend a diplomatic hand to Tehran if the Islamic republic is ready to "unclench its fist".

Nay, he is Carter on steroids, he is Carter times Clinton times Marx. He is Carter almighty, Carter beyond Carter, Carter times ten to the fifth power, it takes him a week and a half to look as bad as Carter did after two years.

So true!

"It’s worse than I thought. The Iranian regime is now anti-capitalist."

It's even worse than that.

The US regime is now anti-capitalist!

There ya go, the white flag goes out and Iran is quick to seize upon it and declare victory and paint the USA into the losers corner. How many of us said this would happen if O tried to reach out to them. This will do nothing but further humiliate us in the eyes of the world.

So when all the liberals said they wanted the world to like us again, they really meant they wanted the world to humiliate us.

Clearly Iran’s govt is a lot smarter than Obama and the Democrats. Wonder if he’s smart enough to learn. I know the Democrats aren’t.

That’s funny... Drudge is running this headline on his website.

I wonder why Drudge was running pro-Obama propoganda during the Dem primaries and some of the general election (until it was obvious McCain would lose anyway)?

Bush was always optimistic and portrayed strength and confidence in all he did.

You know what kills me about the mainstream media - they treated this a fault. They wanted Bush to wear sackcloth and ashes like Obama is all but doing without realizing the words mean things and have consequences. So now we have Obama talking down the economy (way to boost consumer confidence there Mr. President) and getting bitchslapped by our enemies. This will be an adventure...

When I look at my president I want to see an eagle with flesh-tearing beak and flesh-grabbing claws. I want to see an extreme patriot. I don’t want someone who leads off with confessions of America’s mistakes.

You know, old Ben Franklin wanted the Turkey to be the National Bird. I think "the current administration" would vote for the chicken.

Iran will never drop its hatred of the Great Satan. But it is willing to play Obama for a complete patsy, to get what it wants.
