The American administration is now wholly complicit in the brutal travesty that was June 12 in Iran:

Gibbs was asked Tuesday if the White House recognized Ahmadinejad as the country’s legitimate president.

“He’s the elected leader,” Gibbs responded.

Our elected leader, Barack Obama, vowed to “bear witness” to the Iranian regime’s violent — indeed, homicidal — snuffing out of the collective democratic spirit in Iran.

Like it or not he’s the one in charge over there. He’s not even really in charge either, the Supreme Leader is the one calling the shots, the President is his lacky.

What’s the difference between an Iranian voter and an American one?

The Iranian recognizes a rigged election. And they do something about it.
