Obama Strikes Out

Barack Obama’s omnipresence on the national stage makes it inevitable that Rush Limbaugh will have an opportunity to play some sound bites from the Great Bloviator every day. So I thought it was particularly foolish for Obama to make cooing sounds about the Iranian election before the results were announced.

Rush had sound-bites of the media's focus on Obama vis-a-vis the Iranian election.

WILLIAMS: The election is being watched closely for any signs among other things that President Obama's recent Middle Eastern venture made a connection.

...

GREGORY: Is there an Obama effect here? A policy toward Iran of this unclenched fist, of more engagement. How do the Iranian people respond?

RUSH: This is just absurd. It is literally absurd. Whoever the mullahs want to be president is going to president, I don't care if it's Ahmadinejad or if it's Benjamin Netanyahu. ... But look at what we're being set up here to believe, that Barack Obama's speech in Cairo may have so moved the people of Iran that they're going to get rid of the leadership that is provoking the world with nuclear weapons. It's not only silly and stupid, it is dangerously naive,

Referring to a “great debate” going on in Iran and referring to the election as if it were a genuinely free and fair election exhibited a combination of self-deception and ignorance that is breathtaking. But the statement he made was really just an opportunity for Obama to proclaim that his Cairo speech changed the dynamics of the Middle East so dramatically that the Iranian people would now … do what? Elect another of the mullah’s anointed? Eschew nuclear programs?

But perhaps Obama's comments were only for his domestic audience. For the fawning press coverage that he received

Secretly, Iranians are likely asking themselves when they will be liberated.

Obama will never do it.

Iranian Election a Repudiation of Obama

[Jeff Head]

Biden casted doubt on the Iranian election today, and he used the positive results in Iraq as an example.

Well, how about this, Vice President Biden?

When the people of Iraq were denied these rights, and when their brutal dictator thumbed his nose at the agreements he had signed, Geroge Bush did more than talk. Now the people of Iraq are free to vote, and have done so as you point out, and now use as an example for good...but no thanks to you and Obama.

Without George Bush's firm ACTION, and his and our brave troops dedication to the principles of freedom and the propositions that you now TALK about, the Iraqi people to this day would be suffering under a brutal dictator.

You and Obama and your ilk would have done worse than nothing...you have demonized America out of one side of your mouth, whose son's and daughter's blood purchased the liberty you talk about out of the other side of your mouth.

Well, the Israeli settlers have just about got Obama figured out:

"But perhaps Obama's comments were only for his domestic audience. For the fawning press coverage that he received."
I believe it really is as simple as that. No use wasting time and energy to suggest otherwise.
