NEW YORK – President Barack Obama condemned Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s speech Thursday at the United Nations, in which Ahmadinejad blamed the United States for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, calling it “offensive” and “hateful.”
“And particularly for him to make the statement here in Manhattan, just a little north of Ground Zero, where families lost their loved ones, people of all faiths, all ethnicities who see this as the seminal tragedy of this generation, for him to make a statement like that was inexcusable,” Obama said in an interview Friday morning.
"And it stands in contrast with the response of the Iranian people when 9/11 happened, when there were candlelight vigils and I think a natural sense of shared humanity and sympathy was expressed within Iran," he said. "And it just shows once again sort of the difference between how the Iranian leadership and this regime operates and how I think the vast majority of the Iranian people who are respectful and thoughtful think about these issues."
Obama sat for an interview with BBC Persian, which has a large television and radio audience in the Middle East, in hopes he can get his message out to the Iranian people while in New York for the United Nations General Assembly.

So when is your promised meeting with Mr. Ahmadinejad, Mr. President?
“Obama: Ahmadinejad was ‘hateful’”
Wide-eyed disbelief...
Can’t wait for the leftist backlash on this. :)
Boy, nothing gets by the Obama brain, does it?
"treated me like a dog"
Taqiyya from the boy president.
Translation: It’s election time, so until November 2nd, this Iranian cat is even more radioactive than me. Therefore, Amadinejad was “hateful”
Why is he even allowed in this country?
He belongs in an asylum.

And yet again, our shiny empty suite proves just how empty the suite really is.
“Why is he even allowed in this country?
He belongs in an asylum.”
So does Ahmadinejad .
“Amadinejad was ‘hateful’”
Really?!? I am SOOO shocked!!! When did you first notice this, Mr President?
“Why is he even allowed in this country?”
yep, and why are WE allowing the UN headquarters in our country and picking up the tab for it?
In a related question, why again does the United States provide a form for this on US real estate?
Ahmadinejad: Yeah, I’ll do it...
Obama: You have to do it because I have to respond and say it’s “hateful.” I have to come across more American like, stronger, more to the middle. November is coming...
Ahmadinejad: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you got to go soft on me about my nukes. Stall and get Hillary out of my hair.
Obama: OK, we have a deal.
LOL!
Obama, destroyer of red herrings.
Obama openly expressed “hate” for Wall Street. Pot, meet kettle.
