Iran Says It May File A Lawsuit Against Obama Over Mohammed Film…

The kicker: They are basing the lawsuit on a U.N. resolution Obama championed.

Via the Iranian regime’s official propaganda outfit PressTV:

A senior Iranian official says US President Barack Obama could face legal action in connection with the production of an anti-Islam movie by an American....

“A complaint could be filed with US courts against Obama for his violation of articles 18 and 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) calling for respect of faiths,” Javad Mohammadi, the deputy head of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution (SCCR), said on Sunday.....

Could this be the October surprise Obama wants? Get all the Muslim nations to sue him, using this ridiculous UN “law”.

We, as Americans, would naturally reject this type of meddling in US sovereignty.

Does he see this as a way to get the American people to rally around him and propel him to re-election?

Good, could we sue all the Middle East countries over their desecration of Christian symbols?

Obama will instruct Eric Holder to let the case go by way of default, ala DOMA, and let Iran have judgment against the United States.

No, I think it’s more akin to Carter being shocked to his socks when those nice, rational Soviets invaded Afghanistan. Obama really thought the power of his awesomeness would make the radical Islamists love us.

The real questions, IMO, are:

What outcome is it that they (Iran) are seeking by this lawsuit?

How does Obama admin profit or gain from it?

Obama agrees with Iran, he just hasn’t completely destroyed the Bill of Rights yet

I’m not sure. Many independents wouldn’t be all that concerned about this, in my opinion. The Left may see it as good. The Right will think Obama deserves it.

I think this could be an actual surprise.

Good thing Obama is “The Legal Mind of Our Age®” He’ll know what to do... lol

Obama, our Forward-thinking President steps in his own piss trench, yet again.

(Oh, Jesus....)

I’d dismiss it for lack of standing: Islam isn’t a religion.

Rally around him?

Why? His chickens are coming home to roost.......

I’m sorry, where do I put down this UN charter provision in my lawsuit against the president for disrespecting the definition of marriage and the religious observances around it?
