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.
That video will fuel tomorrow and the next day, this will be the end of the Mullahs,but there is much more blood to be spilled I am afraid.
bingo
You have turned your back on liberty at home and on our allies in Israel and Iraq.
You've turned your back on the Iranian people for a week now and in one of the first acts of your Presidency, you sent $900,000,000 to the terrorists of Hamas.
You are fooling NOBODY with this statement...well, I take that back. The fools who worship you (the media, your party's base) might be fooled...but no one else.
Nice job handling North Korea, too, clown.
What I find most interesting about this is that Obama succumbed to pressure. This is the first dent and a sign that if we keep up a barrage he can be broken on health care, Israel, missile defense and other atrocious policies.
I suspect we need to boycott everything ABC. I, for one, am more than willing to quit encouraging the Left.
I’m sure Walt would be the first in line to send 0 a message.
What a nasty piece of garbage O is. My personal thoughts will remain that. Suffice it to say, he’s a legend in his own mind.
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya
Is there a remote possibility that the Iranian people will teach lazy Americans how to get off the couch, turn off the tv, and stop the idiots in dc?
Striking is a very good idea. But masses of people have to do it, not just a few on the right.
Not a good week for the Douche in Chief. His healthcare turd was welcomed on Capital Hill like a Klansman at a Dr Dre concert. He has this Iranian nightmare he wants to ignore but can’t as per his “Make no hard decisions” life mantra. He has this IG flapo he was cold busted on. Oh well the his tranny wife is on Life magazine’s cover, adams apple and thick jaw and all.
Vivid and telling pics from Iran:

Elections have consequences...
He was forced into it.
Biden is right. It's six months today. Ironic, isn't it.
No words of support for freedom and pander/coddle the terrorists and their state sponsors.
Reports I am hearing say the head bashers are speaking Arabic not Farsi.
Iran is flying in Hamas or Hezbollah to police the protesters.
Analysis: They can’t rely on the Iranian security to attack the protesters.
J Post reported this too

I didn't know that Obama only issued a written statement. Hell's bells, that could have been penned by anyone, and probably was.
Even more proof of cowardice from Obama. He needs to quit pretending, and just come on national TV to cry for his Mommy.
Liberals.... the most gutless cowards on earth, except when they're attacking the good and the righteous.
What a doofus. We don’t want to hear what he said in Cairo.
We want him to speak FORCEFULLY...NOW...TODAY!
OH, I forgot...he’s nursing a huge hangover from the Correspondents Dinner last night.
This guy is a joke.
His teleprompter has a hangover, too!
The tape of that beautiful girl lying in the street, bleeding to death, is too tragic for words.
She was standing next to her father when a sniper shot her through the heart.
And some media idiots are still saying they are unsure if the militia is using “real bullets.”
His mouth moves, noise comes out as he thinks about what flavor of Ice cream to get...what a waste.
He’s a effin embarassment.
“The universal rights to assembly and free speech must be respected, and the United States stands with all who seek to exercise those rights.”
Really? Does that mean that the Fairness Doctrine is a no-go, a dead issue? Hmm, what do you say, bro?
