THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary _______________________________________________________________ For Immediate Release June 20, 2009
Statement from the President on Iran
The Iranian government must understand that the world is watching. We mourn each and every innocent life that is lost. We call on the Iranian government to stop all violent and unjust actions against its own people. The universal rights to assembly and free speech must be respected, and the United States stands with all who seek to exercise those rights.
As I said in Cairo, suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away. The Iranian people will ultimately judge the actions of their own government. If the Iranian government seeks the respect of the international community, it must respect the dignity of its own people and govern through consent, not coercion.
Martin Luther King once said - "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." I believe that. The international community believes that. And right now, we are bearing witness to the Iranian peoples’ belief in that truth, and we will continue to bear witness.
You see, this is EXACTLY WHY the messiah should just vote present and stay the Hell away from making any expressions on Iran.
All that this shameful, lame response does is expose his pathetic weakness and lip servie in comfronting the turbaned devils. This only heartens their resolve and is bad news for the people.
Dear leader speaks, I’m so grateful.
“We call on the Iranian government to stop all violent and unjust actions against its own people. The universal rights to assembly and free speech must be respected, and the United States stands with all who seek to exercise those rights.”
Those words may come back to haunt him in a direct and ppomted manner.
Probably scribbled something down at the golf course and gave it to his caddy:
"Here boy get this over to that Gibbs fellow at the White House, but first fetch me that 5 iron".
lol, that should be “pointed” manner, not ppompted, lol!

Hear Reagan speak about Poland: LINK
You'll need the QuickTime player.
Poland is different from Iran. In Iran, rightly or wrongly, the United States is blamed for engaging in the coup against Mogadasseh in the 1950's. If these protests become to associated with the West in general, and the United States in particular, then it will give legitimacy to the lies of the mullahs that these are foreign-instigated uprisings.
These protests have legitimacy because they are organic - they represent the will of the people of Iran. Obama needs to thread a needle here.

(Spell check needed.)
Very thoughtful post-I appreciate your thinking, I’m just not totally with the avoidance thing ( or the wait and see what happens thing ). Regardless of who wins or who rules the best or worst...it is the PEOPLE who make the choice, ie., we got stuck with a socialist totally inexperienced in managing anything, much less the Presidency of the United States of America.
It didn’t matter what you said in Cairo then, and obviously it doesn’t now. Just go away. You’re worse than that annoying fly you squashed.
Well there's my laugh for the day!
As I said in Cairo,.....
It is ALWAYS about him! Narcissistic piece o’crap.
******
As much as any other, this statement makes obvious the pathological narcissism of 0. He speaks for the nation in the first person singular. In his mind he is the nation. VERY sick.
0bama = fail.
in other words, we are watching you destroy any hope that the masses have in Iran, not that we will do anything .. but we are watching and shame on you.
Probably about as good as we’re going to get from this moral relativist Precedent.
The brave PEOPLE of Iran were looking towards the U.S. Looking for the lighthouse beacon, as a ship is guided by the Lighthouse in the storm and fog and effective what Obama had done is turned the light off on them.
How can the People of this country be PROUD of the actions of our President in these Historic times?
I keep hearing the Bad Boy theme... watcha gonna do when they come for you.
Yeah, I searched for it and did not find it. What a shocker, huh?
He only did because there protestors yelling outside his window. Pathetic and weak.
