Just as one more of Obama's previously discredited ideological positions goes down the international toilet ("We will engage them....") he's out giving a speech about what he intends to do with our medical care. Sounds like he wants to give it all away to other people.

Well, so much for that experiment.

Advice to the Democrats, next time you hold a primary or something come up with candidates that exude truth, justice and the American way. We are tired up to here with your usual reprobates, whore-mongers, IDIOTS, thieves and teleprompter queens.

OK?!

Haaretz has a similar story, also without pictures. See http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1093101.html

By Reuters
Tags: Iran election, Israel news

Iranian state television said shots were fired during a mass rally in support of defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi in Tehran on Monday and that people were running away.

“There has been sporadic shooting out there ... I can see people running here,” a reporter of Iran’s English-language Press TV said in a live call from Tehran’s Azadi Square.

“A number of people who are armed, I don’t know exactly who they are, but they have started to fire on people causing havoc in Azadi Square,” he said.

Many tens of thousands of people had gathered in the square and a nearby thoroughfare to show support for Mousavi’s call for the election to be cancelled.

We can only hope. The good people of Iran sure don’t deserve what they’ve been saddled with.

I think the Mullahs have arranged for this chaos in an attempt to wipe out the opposition. They manipulated the election and peoples’ emotions so as to get the opponents out in the open, where they can be clearly identified and dealt with.

I bet this will turn into a war between Ahmadinejad’s Baseeji and the rest of the country.

BREAKING:

According to Haaretz United States Diplomatic Envoy to Iran Dennis Ross being ousted by the regime.

Note: This is often prelude to martial law and/or impending military takeover of the country from historical experience.

Define “no good”? I think this exposes the absolute fraud of the mullahocracy and shows that they cannot be a trusted “partner” for negotiations. I hope the situation explodes into a Tienanmen Square type of situation for the world to see. Obama would be backed into a corner for negotiating with these thugs.

Prayers for Iranian people!

Obama is too busy trying to take over the health industry to be bothered.
