Barack Obama (President Pantywaist)
"We call on the Iranian government to stop all violent and unjust actions against its own people...The universal rights to assembly and free speech must be respected, and the United States stands with all who seek to exercise those rights."
**A little late Prez! The Iranian people could have used a full helping of American support a week ago. Also, a little WEAK!...He didn't have to say much. Something like: 'The American people stand behind and support the rights of all people to live under the rule of a free democracy. As such, America stands behind the IRANIAN PEOPLE and their desire to live under the rule of a free democracy.'
Or maybe he could have said something even more insightful; something a much stronger Democrat president once said: "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." - John F. Kennedy
Nah! That would never do for Barack. Heaven forbid he upset the Iranian tyrants. Tyrants who already hate the U.S., and call for its downfall on a regular basis...Heaven forbid the U.S. be seen as a nation supporting the Iranian people at the risk of upsetting our fine relationship with the leaders who have had their boot on the throat of these people for decades.
That said, what are we to expect from a man who believes there is a 'universal right to assembly and free speech'? The world would be a great place if this were true. Unfortunately, much of the world is horrific, because there is no such understanding or acceptance of "rights"...If Obama believes they should be "universal", which he should, then he needs to start supporting the PEOPLE in countries who don't offer these "rights" instead of their masters who squash their "rights."**

He needs to talk to those in his own party who will do just about anything to muzzle the 'free speech' on conservative talk radio. Radicalizing it is just the first step in trying to control or shut it down like they tried to do with those 'equal time' rules and laws. Oh God are we in trouble! Thanks, America!! (of course I am referring to those who voted for 'change')
