WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama condemned the violence in Bahrain and urged the country's king in a phone call Friday night to show restraint after a series of bloody protests.

Obama discussed the situation with King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain, asking the king to hold those responsible for the violence accountable.

Dear Zer0:

Quit viciously attacking the States (e.g. AZ, WI).

Here he goes again with his ‘leadership’. And it’s not even been more than a few days yet since Egypt.

Does Obama think the King is a fool? He saw what happened to Mubarak.

Why should he listen - out of the kindness of his heart? The emperor has no clothes, and the world knows...

I”d like to see Obama statement about telling the Iranian Ayatollah’s and Ahmadinejad to show restraint — he didn’t say anything in 2009 and is not about to do so today, he is only attacking rulers of countries friendly to the US.

Too bad he can’t tell the Unions and the DNC to show restraint.

I think Obama's losing it, badly.

He can't sustain this idiocy called his presidency at this rate.

He'll collapse out of shear incompetence and his own party will politically bury him. The democrats may not even survive as a party because of Obama.

Carter must be sleeping well lately. He only lost one country to these insane, 7th century moon-worshippers.

He spent all that time and our money running around the world apologizing for the US ‘sticking our nose where it doesn’t belong’......

And now, he’s doing the same thing.

Both, here and abroad.

After reading this article, I now see a similarity between the Wisconsin situation and the middle east protests, at least in Bahrain - and the common denominator is b. hussein obama:

“Obama says Bahrain must respect the “universal rights” of its people and embrace “meaningful reform.”

HE needs to respect the universal rights of us taxpayers and embrace the meaningful reform that brave governors like Scott Walker are trying to enact.

“...Obama...called on the governments of those countries to show restraint.”

Millions of us citizens are calling on the (federal) government of THIS country to show restraint and butt out of the states’ business.

“he is only attacking rulers of countries friendly to the US.”

It’s so obvious to all thinking Americans, and I don’t think he’s even trying to hide it. Tragically, it’s got to be obvious to the rest of the world as well.

“Carter must be sleeping well lately.”

Sure, he now has a simpatico prez who’s carrying on his legacy.

“He only lost one country to these insane, 7th century moon-worshippers.”

Not for lack of trying. But it was a large, strategic country that’s haunted us ever since and is intent on either dominating or destroying the planet.
