After President George W. Bush employed the words, “You’re either with us, or you’re with the terrorists,” addressing a joint session of Congress in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks - as the President prepared for the impending war in Afghanistan - liberals eventually treated those words with consternation as if the blunt declaration reflected poorly on America. But pro-democracy activists in Iran seem to like a similar message, as a group of protesters in Iran called on President Barack Obama to support their cause, chanting, “Obama, Obama, either you’re with them or you’re with us!”
Uniquely among the broadcast network evening newscasts, NBC Nightly News correspondent Ali Arouzi - stationed in Tehran - showed a clip of anti-government demonstrators chanting their message to President Obama, as he translated their words into English. During a report that focused mainly on the government-orchestrated anti-America protest organized to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Iranian Hostage Crisis, Arouzi also passed on the activities of anti-government activists: “On a day when anti-American sentiment runs high, the opposition was looking for support from President Obama, chanting, “Obama, Obama, either you’re with them or you’re with us.”

Ditto.
Not if you ask him (or PS Fibbs).
BO: “Uuuuuuuum.....PRESENT!”
Yes, Obama always sides with tyrants. It’s what he dreams of becoming.
It will take him as long to answer this question as it is taking to decide about Afghanistan.
He’ll dodge this question, but we know.
I recall George Soros basically calling George Bush a Nazi for saying this. Will Soros now call the Iranian dissidents Nazis?
I saw the report last night. I was surprised at how fair it was.

“President Bush is pushing the wrong buttons when he says, ‘Those who are not with us, are against us,’ “ Soros said. “This is an imperialist vision in which the U.S. leads and the rest of the world follows.”
After careful consideration and taking in all of the facts, Obama voted “present.”
Quiet please! No-bam-bam is trying to tee off.
“I, uh, am uh, clearly, I want to make this very clear, uh, I uh, am sure that those folks in, uh, uh, Iran, know that, uh, we’re, uh, with them in the, uh, spirit of democracy and, uh, freedom. But, uh, one must, uh, understand that, uh, in today’s complicated world, uh, it takes a lot of time and, uh, research, to uh, make sure that one is, uh, not doing anything that, uh, might, uh, make things worse.”
Sincerely,
Dear Leader
Washington, D.C.
USA
He’s with Obama. There’s only room for Il Magnifo in the Obozo universe. Everything else is window dressing to reflect his incandescent glory and receive his unparalled wisdom, counsel, and neverending apologies for the good old U.S.A.
Nope. He’s with BOTH! Dear Leader is ALL THINGS to ALL PEOPLE, dontcha know!?!?
“...Dear Leader is ALL THINGS to ALL PEOPLE,...”
A man who tries to be all things to all people is, ultimately, nothing to anyone...
He’s shown that already.
