Iran says Obama's offer to talk shows US failure

US President Barack Obama's offer to talk to Iran shows that America's policy of "domination" has failed, the government spokesman said on Saturday.

"This request means Western ideology has become passive, that capitalist thought and the system of domination have failed," Gholam Hossein Elham was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.

"Negotiation is secondary, the main issue is that there is no way but for (the United States) to change," he added.

After nearly three decades of severed ties, Obama said shortly after taking office this month that he is willing to extend a diplomatic hand to Tehran if the Islamic republic is ready to "unclench its fist".

Hilarious, this reaction is just why Bush would not negotiate directly.

“Obama should win the Theo van Gogh award for unwarranted optimism about other people.”
That’s why I call him Prefident 0bam0! Prefident is a rather obscure word, not found in all dictionaries. From the Online Dictionary:

“Pref”i*dent\, a. [Cf. L. praefidens overconfident. See Pre-, and Confident.] Trusting beforehand; hence, overconfident. [Obs.]”

Even Hillary, while running against him in the primaries....warned about this.....

It is reaching a point where the news is too depressing to read.

Nay, he is Carter on steroids, he is Carter times Clinton times Marx. He is Carter almighty, Carter beyond Carter, Carter times ten to the fifth power, it takes him a week and a half to look as bad as Carter did after two years.

Once again, the left spent eight years whining and whinging that GWB destroyed our reputation in the world, the world hates us, we’re meanies and everyone is afraid of us, blah, blah, blah. Meantime, they cheat to seat a stupid brat in the white house who wonders why we all can’t get along and lays himself and the entire country under the feet of a homocidal maniac.

May God help us all.

A big part of the problem is that this idiot is so arrogant, conceited and full of himself that he thought he would waltz right in and use the obmam “charm” and everything would be different.

What an idiot. If he had half a brain and examined actual events, he could have seen this coming a mile a way.

In the meantime, he continues to tell the country how bad things are here and that it will take years to recover. Does he not have a clue that a big part of any recession is psychological and he is making it that much worse? Of course part of it may be that he is throwing up cover early on for his inevitable failure. What a joke this bozo has already proven himself to be. Try keeping you mouth shut, you idiot.

The liberals are against Israel so this is music to their ears.

I cannot understand why a single Jew voted for him.

I’m sure the leftist, hate-America crowd here in the U.S. agrees with him 100%.

Well so far OholyO’s first 10 days have been a complete failure.

I think that Israel better get some planes, heavily loaded with some BIG Munitions, in the air, DAMN fast. OholyO is going to get Israel attacked, if not the US itself.

The man is murder walking.

Sounds just like Bill Ayers.

It’s worse than I thought. The Iranian regime is now anti-capitalist.

Maybe Bambi will get the idea that these people only respect a strong persona. They always mistake kindness for weakness.

But of course the democraps will say that this is Bush’s fault, they will never admit that they don’t have a clue.

Maybe in the OhBombUs stimulus plan part IV he can give them money to enrich uranium as a feel good gesture to make them talk nice about us?

Liberals are far too ignorant, naive, and foolish to be in charge of anything. This is what we get when conservatives sit on their asses and let the nation become overrun...

You are so right. This is far worse than I expected and we are only a few weeks into it
