Prior to this month's disputed presidential election in Iran, the Obama administration sent a letter to the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling for an improvement in relations, according to interviews and the leader himself.
Ayatollah Khamenei confirmed the letter toward the end of a lengthy sermon last week, in which he accused the United States of fomenting protests in his country in the aftermath of the disputed June 12 presidential election.
U.S. officials declined to discuss the letter on Tuesday, a day in which President Obama gave his strongest condemnation yet of the Iranian crackdown against protesters.

Obama is in a dilema of his own anti-traditional American making.
George Bush's legacy and fight endures in the Mid East, despite, and in spite of Obama, and THAT is Obama's real dilema.
It was George Bush's policy of direct engagement and support of liberty that has led to the people of Iran seeing the measure of freedom now established on both sides of them in Iraq and Afghjanistan...and desiring it for themselves.
Obama cannot possibly go too far in recognizing that, or he absolutely repudiates himself and his entire foreign policy.
...but the fight in Iran is far from over, and is getting brutal.

URGENT: HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT IRANIAN PROTESTORS RIGHT NOW...ON TWITTER
AMERICANS SUPPORTING IRAN LIBERTY

He’s a fake, lier, coward and traitor. Case closed.
“On the one hand, they [the Obama administration] write a letter to us to express their respect for the Islamic Republic and for re-establishment of ties, and on the other hand they make these remarks. Which one of these remarks are we supposed to believe?”
Like I said ;),
They took “respect for the Islamic Republic” to mean respect for the government, different than past presidents who used only “Iran.” They cannot understand Obama. But who really does?
Nice find
So....what is Barry’s definition of meddling, then? I’m confused....
For those that missed the presser could you elaborate on Major Garret’s question, please?
American history will not favor President Øcoward no matter what his excuses, and in the sad event the protesters are crushed,
pictures of the oppressor Ahmadinejad and the appeaser Øbama together will be a small part of what else the Iranian crackdown now hides by kicking out the press
Don’t forget ‘Toon’ as well...
Dear Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
No matter which way the winds are blowing I will support your wishes on who you chose as the President of Iran. As a little boy I learned that the sweetest sound on earth is the Ayatollah’s call to Prayer to wipe out the anti-islam infidels.
Sincerely,
BHO
To me, the most gut-wrenching thing Obama has said, and recently reiterated, is that Muslim women have the right to cover themselves in the burqa or nigab in America. Praise God for Sarkozy who will institute a total ban in France if he is successful.
This removal of a woman’s face and identity is brutal and often to cover bruises. Tunisia banned the face coverings and lo and behold, they have no problem with extremists and a booming tourist industry.
Timmerman tells Bob Grant: Obama and Clinton secretly negotiating with Iran

Author Kenneth Timmermann was on Bob Grant’s radio show tonight and he said that both the Obama and Clinton campaigns were secretly negotiating with the Iranian Islamic Republic.
Timmermann said his source said that Obama has promised to recognized the Islamic Republic of Iran in exchange for a scale down nuclear weapons program. It also included what influence Iran would have in Iraq.
The Islamic Republic believes that Obama has a better chance in the winning the election.
I have heard Timmermann before and he seems to be a credible person even though he writes for Newsmax. He throughly documents and sources what he says.
Obama and Clinton are stupid to negoiate any thing with Iran.
The problem is that the Administration is still committed to its “diplomacy” with the Iran regime. Anything that the regime does is irrelevant. It doesn’t matter. The Administration’s stated policy is one of neutrality - despite the declarations of concern.
I long for a government that would be “crass” enough to look out after U.S. interests, and not everyone else’s.
He said.... These are your strongest words to day and followed with ...
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG>..
LOL Obama about had a coniption...
What a sneak this poser is.
How'd that open hand thingie go, 0bummer?
Obama is a coward.
(He's a scrawny metrosexual, obviously dominated by his henpecking wife. And he wants to get rid of pick-up trucks and downsize the military. All we are missing is the feather boa and autographed photo of him with Richard Simmons.)
Cheers!
this was before the election last year (march of 2008)
Bump for later.
