Supposedly, young people in Iran were inspired by Obama's Cairo speech. Where is Obama now, when the government is shooting protesters?
Today could have been Obama's 'Tear Down This Wall' moment. He could have offered his support to the courageous Iranians in the streets tonight. He could have recognized those protesters for what they are - fighters in the name of freedom. These kids already respected him and would have been inspired. Instead, his speech was lame and non-committal.
I'm not one of these conservatives who believes liberals are traitors. My problem with liberals is they lack the backbone to stand up against tyranny. It happened during the Cold War and again during the War on Terror..or as Obama now calls it, Man-made disasters. Their political correctness, whether expressed in caution or silence, does not make for effective leadership.
I remember so vividly when Reagan call the Soviet Union the Evil Empire. Liberals cringed, they cried foul. But cut beyond the PC crap and one thing is clear: Reagan was right. And I'll give George W. Bush credit too. His stand against tyranny was strong whether he was popular or not.
Obama speaks well (teleprompter joke here). But tonight was strong evidence that there's nothing behind his words. Too many Iranians learned that the hard way tonight.
Like Obama gives 2 sh!ts about anyone other than himself.
Fools, all.
If the Iranian people want freedom, they will have to get it on their own. Obama will not help. He won’t even praise them for their desires.
It is up to them to organize and capture enough weapons to get a critical mass of meaningful opposition to their rulers. The mullahs started this when they shot demonstrators.
“My problem with liberals is they lack the backbone to stand up against tyranny.”
What a coinky-dink!
My problem with conservatives is they lack the backbone to stand up against liberals.
Reminiscent of the Hungarian uprising in ‘56.
Obama doesn’t consider Iran a threat because he secretly wants Iran to threaten Israel with nuclear weapons. He is a muslim sympathizer.
Aw c'mon. Where's your spine?
I don’t think real conservatives have any problem standing up to the liberal march to marxism. It’s the RINO pubbies that can’t find the stones to meet the challenge.
Yeah. That’s what I meant.
Why would you expect liberals to oppose people who think like they do?
Once RINO’s get the message we consider them no better than Nancy Pelosi, they will come around. They need to get that message loud and clear.
He isn't a muslim sympathiser... he is a nappy headed Muslim.
US support would likely be the kiss of death for the Iranian opposition.
I’m sorry, I didn’t want to come right out and say it. I guess I have no spine.
It was all just a gag.
No hard feelings, right?
"For my next trick..."
You should never worry about telling the truth.
Im sorry, I didnt want to come right out and say it.

OK then, obama is a jew hating, marxist loving, egg sucking
dog who admitted he’s a muslim on national TV. (”My muslim faith”)
Thanks. I do feel better now.
“admitted hes a muslim on national TV. (My muslim faith)”
And WHY isn’t EVERYONE outraged like me?
