pwotUS... panty-waist (or waste :-) of the U.S.

Yeah, it took the House to actually make the first “official” statement on behalf of the country in favor of the protesters. What a pathetic excuse for a POTUS we have now. He’s not even worthy enough to shine Reagan’s shoes.

Does anyone really belive that the Framers would have cared about what was going on in what was then called Persia? I doubt it. Certainly George Washington would not have cared. Remember, if we keep sticking our nose where it does not belong it will get smacked sooner or later. Oh, wait. That’s already happened! My bad.

Obama’s shame. He is a disgrace to free people. This cowardly identifies with dictators, and islamic extremists.

The truth is exactly what it appears to be, he is *not* on the side of the protesters.

It is NEVER "meddling" to stand for freedom against tyranny...

Obama is no Reagan.
Obama is no Lincoln.
Obama is no Washington.

Heck, Obama is not even a Nixon.

At this point, Obama would have to seriously step up his game to be a poor imitation of Carter ... but he still has 3 years and 7 months to improve. Granted, it’s a long shot ...

Yah, we should give the Iranian reformers encouragement and false hope that we would support them if push comes to shove, just like we gave the Iraqi Shiites encouragement to rebel against Saddam in the early '90's.
Lesson learned.

This could have been a "TEAR DOWN THIS WALL" moment for the ONE! BUT, being a socialist and a buttkissing muslim, he missed this HUGH opportunity!!

Today one can visit Ronald Reagan Square in Krakow, a Reagan statue is planned for Warsaw and Reagan streets and parks dot the country. He is considered, in the words of the Polish president, the "architect of democracy."

SWEET! I did not know that.

I don't expect the Obaminator to be memorialized as such anywhere in Europe, Asia, the Mid East, or South America.

He will be presented in galleries of losers and dubious achievers everywhere.

Obama Is No Reagan:

Hell, 0bama is not even Jimmuh Carter. He's a moron.

[theDentist]

Barack Obama is no Ronald Reagan.

Who the he** ever said he was?

[keats5]

Wow, what a great article. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Those were the years I left the Democratic Party, which I learned as a youngster was the “party of the people. I looked at what Carter had done, and then I looked at what Regan was doing, and I decided if Regan was a Republican than I wanted to be one too.

Good Lord, please send us another one like him!

So if the Russians decide to invade Iran we'll slap sanctions on them?

The two situations aren't as comparable as the writer thinks.

China in 1989 might be a closer parallel. We didn't do anything then either.

Reagan and Poland in 1981 was pretty atypical.

And even with Reagan's actions, Jaruzelski still imposed martial law.

When something is defined as an "internal matter" it's hard for foreign governments to do much about it, then or now.

[SunkenCiv]

One need look no further than President Obama's cautiously timid response to the demands of freedom from Iranians. Contrast this with Reagan's response to similar demands from Poles in the 1980s and the miserable inadequacy of the Obama foreign policy is thrust into a stark and shameful relief.

And of course, another glance at Zero bowing to his royal master can't hurt, either.
