President Obama said Tuesday that he's "bent over backwards" to engage Iran in "constructive" dialogue and said the U.S. will move to sanction the country, which has begun enriching uranium to levels capable of making an atomic bomb.

Obama told reporters during a rare press conference Tuesday that the U.S. is developing a "significant regime of sanctions" in response to the Islamic Republic's move to enrich uranium to 20 percent purity level in defiance of world powers.

"That indicates to us that despite their posturing that their nuclear power is only for, for civilian use that they in fact continue to pursue a course that would lead to weaponization," Obama said. "That is not acceptable to the international community.

Obama said the process toward adding new sanctions is moving along quickly, but he gave no specific timeline.

Bent over backwards? I think not. Wrong direction noted, Barry.

[Jim Robinson]

Oh, yeah. That’ll scare them straight.

[namvolunteer]

I’ll bet we “strongly express our dissatisfaction.”
Take that.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Zero wimps out.

[a fool in paradise]

I thought the Left said that sanctions were hurting Iraqi citizens.

I guess it’s okay to “hurt” Iranian citizens.

[RC2]

Talk, talk, talk. Sanctions, sanctions, sanctions. Nothing changes and this Admin looks even dumber than the day before.

“bent over backwards”

He found a new way to bow?

[Old Texan]

Nobama SAYS a lt of crap.
When will someone in the media come out and just say?
Nobama, with all due respect, um,, you are a pure bred liar.

President Obama said Tuesday that he's "bent over backwards" to engage Iran in "constructive" dialogue...

Him being "bent over" doesn't surprise me in the least.....

[Col Frank Slade]

Well he certainly likes to bend over.

[milwguy]

Another angry letter from Dear Leader will set them straight. On Thursday when people are dying on the streets of Tehran, I am sure those threats of sanctions(which the Chi-coms will block in the UN) will scare the sh!t out of Amma-nutjob and Khameni.

The world has taken the measure of Obama and they neither fear nor respect him. Impotent is the word I can best use to describe our feckless POTUS.

[Drill Thrawl]

Uh huh, yeah, sure, whatev.

[gigster]

Oh no!!!!
Not the “Regime of Sanctions”!!!

[Starboard]

Obowma.

[dfwgator]

What happened to the “Letter of Deep Concern”?

[justsaynomore]

Did anyone notice that he is covering Palin’s talking points from her speech Saturday? She mentioned a tough stance on Iran (and said sanctions), and she talked about the need for more energy/aka drill in the US. There may be more but those two for sure

Um, is he having trouble coming up with this stuff for himself?

[wku man]

I'm sure they're scared now, Obamanation. Is that what the teleprompter told you to say?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

O.M.G. This is sooooo sKeeRy!!

Oh dear God.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Will the sanctions kick in before or after Iran demonstrates it’s nuclear trigger on Thursday?

[BaylorDad]

"significant regime of sanctions"

How does that relate to the dreaded "double secrete probation"?

[Lucky9teen]

“That indicates to us that despite their posturing that their nuclear power is only for, for civilian use that they in fact continue to pursue a course that would lead to weaponization,”

Well no sh*t sherlock, this is something many of us have
known from the very beginning.
If it wasn’t going to cost Israeli or American lives, I’d
say it serves him right. Damn liberal “intellectuals” are
as smart as a box of rocks.

[airborne]

Well he certainly likes to bend over.

Rumor has it he likes to be bent over.

President Obama said Tuesday that he's "bent over backwards" to engage Iran in "constructive" dialogue...

And it didn't work? Wow. Does that mean it wasn't Bush's fault after all?

[paulycy]

Dear Mr. President,

Iran did not unclench its fist.

It shoved it up your ass.

Thank you very much for the safety and security your administration provides.

Nah, just kidding.

Your FAILURE is our new status quo.

Feel free to resign immediately you useless eater.

Sincerely,

The American Citizens

Obama just put Iran on double dog secret probation.
