What exactly do you want Obama to do? If he openly encourages the protesters, that could backfire as they would be labeled as tools of the US.
I think being quiet publicly is the best way to go. We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. Let’s keep our powder dry and see what shakes out.

I want him to assure the American people that he is aware of the dangers of our own country drifting away from its roots.

Radio FARDA | President Bush: My message to the young in Iran is that someday your society will be free. And it will be a blessed time for you. My message to the women of Iran is that the women of America share your deep desire for children to grow up in a hopeful society and to live in peace...Well, I think the people of Iran are going to have to come to the conclusion that a free country is in their interest. We, of course, support freedom movements all around the world. We are supporting a freedom movement on the Iranian border, in Iraq. We are promoting and helping the Iraqis develop a free society. By the way, a free Iraq will help the Iranians seek the blessings of a free society. There's no doubt in my mind that the women will be leading freedom movements in Iran and elsewhere, and the role of the United States is to provide moral support and other support without undermining their cause.

You know, I have to agree. The last thing I want is Zer0 blowing his big bazoo about this and taint this brave movement.
The Iranian people should own this battle, and their strength and courage should inspire us all. God bless you, Iranian people, our hearts are with you!

Exactly.
Obama will be dumped on around here whatever he does. That's Rule # 1. He gave a speech in Cairo a couple of weeks back and everyone said STFU!
The little Holocaust-denying creep and his clerical backers would love to be able to label this as an American-inspired interference in Iranian politics and use it as a rallying cry. We need to maintain a public distance from this chaos while secretly doing what we can to make life as miserable as possible for Khamenei and his henchmen.

I can answer your question...
RESIGN THE PRESIDENCY BEFORE HE DOES FURTHER HARM TO THE USA.

I agree. Every time he opens his mouth he makes an ass out of himself to the whole world.
The only real effective influence we can have on Iran is to say absolutely nothing. Remain quiet right up to the second we level Tehran. No warning. No threats. Just blow the friggin Shah and his religious government to Kingdom come.
Diplomacy like that is something that all muslims understand.
