WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House called Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the "elected leader" of Iran on Tuesday when asked whether President Barack Obama recognized the Iranian president after the country's disputed election.

Obama supports unelected thugs who steal elections.

I am embarassed and ashamed for America that Obama and his evil party are in power.

This wouldn’t have happened in the Bush Administration, or McCain’s. Elections have big consequences.

Nope, it would not have happened under Bush.

But under Obozo it was expected.

The Obamanation sells out the people of Iran in their struggle for freedom.

How disgusting. The Iranian people rise up and fight for their freedom and President Obama stabs them in the back. He sends a chilling message to all peoples seeking freedom, and a green light to those who would oppress them.

err... Gibbo should've said it was a 'ROBUST debate' & it isn't over yet!

A prediction I'm comfortable with although still very early days: I very much doubt 0bama will be re-elected for a second term. Time for Republicans to make sure they have a great candidate, with serious foreign policy experience, for President in 2012.
