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 ...

He could say something like this...

He could just call for peaceful protest from the population towards the failed elections. Firmly come out against the heavy handed oppression of the regime. He needs to state somehow that the elections are failed. Let the protesters know, through the world media, that we are behind them. Let the Mullah’s know the world is watching. Why walk on eggshells. They are our enemy. They don’t pretend, we shouldn’t either. We should do whatever we can to put the heat on those crazies. At some point in the future we will wish we were as hostile to them as we could be. No matter what we do they will hate us. Let’s give a good reason to hate us. I know it will make me feel better

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.

THANK you, Free Reign!!

It seems some people have forgotten that not too long ago, we had a REAL President, with REAL values, and REAL courage.

The Iranian people are on their own in their fight for freedom with Obama in the WH, and this is a tragedy.

It's worth noting that those laudable words of Bush were made at a time of civil calm in Iran. Whether he would make them now and appear to be fomenting revolution at a time when there is civil instability is another question.

Cheering from the sidelines while Iran's rulers ponder how to cope with this upheaval is simply inviting them to crack down hard.
