'No Comment' Is Not an Option

The Washington Post ^ | 6/19/09 | Paul Wolfowitz

[Typical_Whitey]

President Obama's first response to the protests in Iran was silence, followed by a cautious, almost neutral stance designed to avoid "meddling" in Iranian affairs. I am reminded of Ronald Reagan's initially neutral response to the crisis following the Philippine election of 1986, and of George H.W. Bush's initially neutral response to the attempted coup against Mikhail Gorbachev in 1991. Both Reagan and Bush were able to abandon their mistaken neutrality in time to make a difference. It's not too late for Obama to do the same.

[Typical_Whitey]

The Obama Presidency is a Failure. Unless of course his intention was to prop up dictators and destroy America all along.

If the later is true then it is a Failure of our First Ammendment because the media refused to alert the people to the coming danger and was complicit in our destruction.

No Comment = "present".

Those of us who were paying attention last fall already knew B.O. was like this.

[Keith in Iowa]

Being "very concerned" is even worse than "no comment". The 0 is massive failure.

I suggest at least a little originality here and Google Bomb with our own phrase:

[cmj328]

No Comment = "present"

Bingo.

No Comment' Is Not an Option

It is if you are a wuss. ;-)

[bustinchops]

Exactly.

And now the head guys are threatening “or else” if the protesters don’t chill. So, Ahmanutjob is going to start opening random fire on these people? Are they sufficiently cowed because the U.S. basically stood silent?

ostammer is the most vile America-hater in this country.

[El Cid]

Yeah, well its above his pay grade ... what do you expect.

[Sir Beowolf]

“Present” is not a Vote

[jpf]

Tiananmen Square is another example of the neutral stance clearing the way for disaster.

[bustinchops]

His “jokes” at the Radio & TV Correspondents’ Dinner were pathetic and evil. He’s laughing and making light of very serious issues that are damaging Americans by the thousands, INCLUDING the fact that the press is in bed with him. He thinks he’s funny, but he’s just evil.

And bragging.........typical.

[GeronL]

Once they know that Obama doesn’t care, its almost assured to get more violent.

[Third Person]

Obama was a pretty good basketball player in H.S. He should be able to handle this Iran and N. Korea thing no sweat. Just keep dribbling...

[bustinchops]

Any doubts they may have had as to ostammer’s positions on the Middle East should have been erased by ostammer’s Egypt speech.

[jpf]

“Once they know that Obama doesn’t care, its almost assured to get more violent.”

He doesn't understand that he's green lighting the Mullahs to do whatever they wish to those demonstrators, or worse yet, perhaps he DOES understand.

[Typical_Whitey]

How about “we don’t want to appear like we are meddling”... How asinine is that. Freedom and Libery cry out for America... America responds sorry can’t be bothered right now.

I am starting to not like America anymore... Is that strange?

[Mariner]

Paul Wolfowitz on the op-ed page of the WaPo?

What's the world coming to?

[Third Person]

Will Obama still talk to Iran with no preconditions,even after the mullahs slaughter the dissidents?

Will it be as though the protests and the ensuing crackdown never happened?

“Come on guys! Cut it out, will ya? I mean it! Really! Don’t make me angry or, or uhhhhh....or...uh...”

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

This is a *clusterfluck* and now I’ve NK in my backyard?

Google Kills Bush’s Miserable Failure Search & Other Google Bombs

[Secret Agent Man]

I think his actual response was “Present”. /illinois-senator

[fiftymegaton]

I agree with you. While I’m not convinced Mousavi is the answer that will bring freedom to the Iranians, clearly any move that would even partially neutralize the mullahs would be a good move.

And while more freedom is not a certainty should Mousavi become a power broker its obvious the status quo is the most untenable position for both Iranians who seek their freedom and for America.

Obama needs to pull his head out for the couple minutes it would take to deliver a forceful address to those democracy oriented freedom seekers in Iran.

[Go Gordon]

He doesn't understand that he's green lighting the Mullahs to do whatever they wish to those demonstrators, or worse yet, perhaps he DOES understand.

Because he would deal with US citizens protesting against him the same way - with disdain and force.

[gargoyle]

...So, it's a different world. To ensure US sovereignty, we have to build nations like us. So, we have a constitution that we can bend when it suits the purpose, and say it's the law when it suits the purpose? Hypocrisy and bullsh!t from the left and the right!!!

[oyez]

Ahmadinejad now has a nickname for Obama, “Chump”.

Missing an http:// and a w.

[PuzzledInTX]

Despite Obummer’s milque toast comments, I fear that the reason the he does not take a stand against the tyranny is that one day, soon, he may be confronted with those words when he uses similar tyranny against protesters here.

[Jeff Chandler]

My correction IS missing a w. I give up.

[bustinchops]

Yeah, heaven forbid his hypocrisy should become obvious to his brain dead fellow travelers.

The "Shot Clock" is about to run out on the basketball playing 'Community Organizer'.

[Miss Behave]

I thought the very same, chops. The subjects and manner of his “jokes,” followed by an evil and chilling, broad insta-smile made my stomach roll and creeped me out. For what it's worth I believe the audience there felt the same. I think that it was a very enlightening moment for his would-be bunglicks. They for possibly the first time saw a person that they didn't like so well. He quite revealed himself in all his naked, self-centered and ugly evilness. He showed himself as a malicious-intentioned “That Guy.” And I for one am glad for it.

[GeronL]

I don’t think any candidate will. This isn’t really about a candidate anymore. Its about all kinds of freedom. A fake election pushed them over the top.

[Jim from C-Town]

I clicked on he link and for a moment I thought this websight was a joke. Did you see the medical symbol with the Obama bot symbol underneath. Good God these people are creepy.

[Windflier]

Paul Wolfowitz on the op-ed page of the WaPo? What's the world coming to?

Obviously, even liberals are being torn apart by Obama's refusal to publicly support the Iranian people's struggle for freedom against the tyrannical mullocracy.

The fact that Obama didn't immediately come out in support of the Iranian people speaks volumes about his lack of a moral center, and his utter bankruptcy of understanding about the concepts of individual freedom and liberty.

He is completely unfit to be the president of a free people. In fact, he's unfit to be a president of any kind.

[Windflier]

I fear that the reason the he does not take a stand against the tyranny is that one day, soon, he may be confronted with those words when he uses similar tyranny against protesters here.

You may have a point there, but that would assume that Obama can actually think and extrapolate major events of this magnitude out into the future.

I'm convinced that he can't.

[bustinchops]

My impression of the audience’s reaction is the same as yours.

Most of what I saw, which I think was most all of his total presentation, did not seem well received. What laughter I heard was, with a couple of exceptions, mostly nervous sounding laughter and very little of it.

The whole situation seemed awkward, as well it should. Had I been there, I’d have heckled him with the question, “Who wrote your material, Hussein? David Letterman?”

He was actually bragging about himself and how the press kisses his ass, and talking about a TV show about the compelling story of the man in the White House, or words to that effect.

Despicable, creepy and evil.

And yes, I agree with you that it was a successful evening for us.

[PuzzledInTX]

You may have a point there, but that would assume that Obama can actually think and extrapolate major events of this magnitude out into the future. I'm convinced that he can't.

You may have a point there. However, narcissists are very intelligent, and clever, and sometimes when acting in their own interest a longer range plan is developed rather than immediate gratification. His history of being on the fence with issues indicates to me that he is watching and waiting for his time to strike - to use crises for his own benefit.

[Miss Behave]

Bumping your EVERY word, chops. And YES on the frugally sprinkled nervous laughter.

I think you are spot-on on everything.

[bustinchops]

Our prisons are filled with narcissists and sociopaths.

[SnarlinCubBear]

I have heard a few American Iranians on Fox/elsewhere applaud O for staying out of it.

They seem to think that USA’s support for the protestors will muddy the waters for them.

[upchuck]

LOL!
