President Obama's first response to the protests in Iran was silence, followed by a cautious, almost neutral stance designed to avoid "meddling" in Iranian affairs. I am reminded of Ronald Reagan's initially neutral response to the crisis following the Philippine election of 1986, and of George H.W. Bush's initially neutral response to the attempted coup against Mikhail Gorbachev in 1991. Both Reagan and Bush were able to abandon their mistaken neutrality in time to make a difference. It's not too late for Obama to do the same.

The Obama Presidency is a Failure. Unless of course his intention was to prop up dictators and destroy America all along.
If the later is true then it is a Failure of our First Ammendment because the media refused to alert the people to the coming danger and was complicit in our destruction.

Exactly.
And now the head guys are threatening “or else” if the protesters don’t chill. So, Ahmanutjob is going to start opening random fire on these people? Are they sufficiently cowed because the U.S. basically stood silent?
ostammer is the most vile America-hater in this country.
To: Typical_Whitey
Yeah, well its above his pay grade ... what do you expect.

Tiananmen Square is another example of the neutral stance clearing the way for disaster.

To: Jeff Chandler
His “jokes” at the Radio & TV Correspondents’ Dinner were pathetic and evil. He’s laughing and making light of very serious issues that are damaging Americans by the thousands, INCLUDING the fact that the press is in bed with him. He thinks he’s funny, but he’s just evil.
And bragging.........typical.
To: bustinchops
Once they know that Obama doesn’t care, its almost assured to get more violent.

Obama was a pretty good basketball player in H.S. He should be able to handle this Iran and N. Korea thing no sweat. Just keep dribbling...

Any doubts they may have had as to ostammer’s positions on the Middle East should have been erased by ostammer’s Egypt speech.
