All Obama really had to do was repeat what George Bush said in a 2008 speech:
"To the people of Iran: You are rich in culture and talent. You have a right to live under a government that listens to your wishes, respects your talents, and allows you to build better lives for your families. Unfortunately, your government denies you these opportunities, and threatens the peace and stability of your neighbors. So we call on the regime in Tehran to heed your will, and to make itself accountable to you. The day will come when the people of Iran have a government that embraces liberty and justice, and Iran joins the community of free nations. And when that good day comes, you will have no better friend than the United States of America."
President George W. Bush, January 13, 2008.
Boythe left is not going to like that their weakling has been called out by Mousavi. I thought he wanted to “talk” with Iran? Might be a tad difficult if you insult the man who may end up leading Iran though all of this?
Touchy, isn’t he? I mean I support the opposition, but after all isn’t Mousavo the guy who started the nuke program to begin with? Who was one of the students who took our hostages? Isn’t he a “moderate” to Ahmadinejad, like Trotsky was to Stalin?
Hopefully this will give Mousavi a boost. Levelling criticism at the US president may give Mousavi some needed cred (Iran is what it is). 0bama may have inadvertently done Mousavi a favor.
I’m a little skeptical that this came from Mousavi.
Memo this to Barry, kkthx.
Takes one to know one. At least Obama is who we thought he was. A pacifist and socialist.
Mousavi misled Persian people into thinking he was a puppet of the Islamic Clerical state back in the Reagan years. Than he campaigned on hope and change and won 3 decades later.
Who is the real Mousavi? It doesn’t really matter I guess, we’ll never find out. He is willing to be a martyr for freedom now.
This is really not about him. He’s just a figurehead.
WOW.... Yes finally they start to see that Obama is all smoke and mirrors an empty suit, words on a prompter.
Now that he is exposed hopefully his poll numbers plummet before he can do much more damage.

Chances the MSM covers Mousavi's statement? Zero.
It's a letter by the Interior Minister, Sadegh Mahsouli, to Khamenei informing him of the steps taken to declare Ahmadinejad the winner of the election.
The letter also includes the actual results as follows:
Total votes: 42,026,078
Mousavi: 19,075,623
Karroubi: 13,387,104
Ahmadinejad: 5,698,417
Rezai: 3,754,218
Invalid votes: 38,716
...the Iranian opposition leader criticizes President Barack Obama for saying Mousavi and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadenijad are "two of a kind." The letter, addressed to Obama, takes the president to task for the remark, calling it "a grave and deep insult, not just to Mr. Mousavi but especially against the judgment of the Iranian people, against our moral conviction and intelligence, especially those of the young generation that comprises a population of 31 million. "It is a specially grave insult for those who are now fighting for democracy and freedom, and an unwarranted gift and even praise for [Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei, whose security forces are now killing peaceful Iranians in the streets of every major city in the country.

Mousavi, you aren’t supposed to point out that our emperor has no clothes!
Those are very strong words from Mousavi.
Wonder what Zero’s reaction will be tomorrow? More ice cream?
