Obama Demands Freedom for Iran Protesters

KANEOHE, Hawaii (AFP) – US President Barack Obama on Monday strongly condemned Iran's crackdown on protesters and called on the Islamic regime to immediately free those "unjustly detained."

"The United States joins with the international community in strongly condemning the violent and unjust suppression of innocent Iranian citizens," Obama said in Hawaii where he is on vacation.

"We call for the immediate release of all who have been unjustly detained within Iran," Obama said.

Obama promised to stand behind Iranians during the "extraordinary events," saying that he was "confident that history will be on the side of those who seek justice."

But he said that the events were "not about the United States," which is vilified by hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or "any other country."

I'm sure they feel secure after the way he backed them after the election.

Obama demands he be allowed to put his head up his behind.

Obama demands Michele get a job cleaning rest stops.

Obama demands my Uncle Fred quit drinking the hard stuff.

Obama demands the Magna Carta be banned in Syria.

Obama demands we wipe our bottoms front to back.

Obama demands the beaches at Normandy be towed away.

Anybody anywhere really give a rat’s touche what this guy demands or even says anymore?

Sheesh!

Comes under the heading “too little, too late.”

And I would doubt this man’s sincerity.

The newly formed "Metrosexuals for Valances" group, an offshoot of ACORN, will be protesting on your street shortly, armed with curtain rods and drapery catalogs.

You have been warned.
