Make a speech. Make ten speeches. then make some more speeches. Send people to the UN to put pressure on iran to knock it off. Meet with other presidents to make a group condemnation of the crackdowns. declare iran a “no fly zone” and get the UN to back it up. Send food and medical assistance. send UN observers. send sat phones and battery power to the protesters. Make it clear that no government dignitaries will be allowed to flee iran or be given assylum in any western nation.
There’s a lot he could do.
I’m not the one calling for Obama to DO something. Anything he DOES will be a wrong thing. I want him to DO nothing. Clear?
He didn't say he had a solution. He asked what you expect Obama to do about it.
Should he cry? Stamp his feet? Slit his wrists?
Got a suggestion or just a smart remark?
Aftermath of the 2010 elections here?
I agree, as much as I detest Obama this is a lose lose situation for the US. If anything he has said too much already. No matter which side wins in Iran they are still going to hate our guts and chant DEATH TO AMERICAN every chance they get. Leave the savages alone and let them purge themselves. It will be fewer that we will have to kill after they nuke us someday. And they will no doubt nuke us someday.
Protesters with guns in their pockets don't get thrown in fires.
Thanks for making sense.
The world outside the US is finding out that Charlie is a fraud....He can’t raise the dead, make the sun shine, or stop wars. He’s not going to raise his voice or a finger to help anyone in need anywhere except the unions and radical leftists here in the US.....All he and his following can do is blame the “previous administration” for all the worlds woes and tribulations. He’s a very sad example for the United States.
Wow! Now, that would light a fire under Obusted's ass, wouldn't it?
But, GWB is far too much a gentleman to do such a thing, and undermine the current Precedent.
How about Mr. Obama act like the leader of the free world.
A whole week of nothing from him. Now we see the slaughter of the Iranian people and he says, "As I said in Cairo." Gee, how strong of him. How full of leadership. How compassionate towards those that cry for freedom and liberty. Not only narcissistic, but clearly said because of political pressure, not altruism.
Hope? Change? Words, my FRiend. He's just full of words. He's shown the world how inhuman he really is towards real pain and suffering.
Now I suggest you look at the photos and video of the human slaughter in Iran before you choose to castigate people again for calling Obama for who he really is: a coward.
Zero is SUPPOSED to be the leader of the free world...but he only wants to be the leader of the world....doesn’t want to take sides, impose values, etc. etc.
How about resigning and getting someone “ up to the paygrade” in there?
That would be a great start.

He could probably cook a nice wagyu steak over the fires.
Sorry, He isn't one. Did you think he was?

Good. It's better they realize that.

Again.. what did you expect of him?
He has no power in Iran. What would you suggest he do?
I've asked this twice now. Got an answer?
There wasn't much Reagan could do when the Poles and Solidarity, but he spoke loudly and often and made known to the Soviets that nothing would be discussed with the Poles in chains. He sought out John Paul II and Maggie Thatcher and laide the groundwork for the fall of the Evil Empire.
Heck when the commies invaded Afghanistan even Carter fellt the need to do something. Obama has no excuse to do and say nothing! No excuse!!
It would REALLY make the libs heads blow up if Cheney weighed in about now.
