WHy isn't he calling for the resignation of Ahmadinejad and the Ayatollahs, as he was demanding Mubarak immediate resignation?
Not to mention warning the Iranian gov against violence, as he did the Egyptian gov.
It is pretty clear whose side he is on -- that of the anti-US, radical Islamists -- and this is the President of the US!

he is careful in his criticisms because he does not wish for them to criticize him when he does the same here.

Iran is already under the full control of Islamic fanatics, Egypt is not. This would be my guess as to why Mohamed Obama is keeping his mouth shut.

“His call for Iran's government to allow peaceful protest echoed the one he made after the opposition Green Movement emerged on Tehran’s streets in June 2009 following a disputed presidential election, a response many conservatives criticized as tepid.”
Because it was tepid! Dah. This guy just doesn't learn.

And some people dare compare the No Talent Pop Star pResident (NTPSP) to Reagan.
Reagan said it, with the “evil empire”, and “tear down this wall”. And it emboldened the refusniks in the Soviet Union. Is the NTPSP doing anything like this?

Not sometimes, every time. He should never be allowed to say anything about anything because he always makes things worse.
His first two years I used to criticize him because it seemed like he was always throwing party or on the golf course or on vacation. Now, I call those the good-ol-days.

Contrast Obozo’s actions with those of Ronald Reagan in dealing with Iran just prior to and following his election. That, and Reagan's change in the ROE in dealing with Libya. We have either a coward in the WH, or a traitor to the American people (and anyone desiring to be free around the world). I tend to view Obozo from the latter perspective myself.

Obama's careful formulation - calling on the government to allow protesters to express their grievances but stopping short of calling for a change in leadership>>>>>>>>>>>>
Translation: Obama did not have his , Code Pink, Bill Ayers,Bernadette Dorn, Soros funded,MSM Propaganda tools, Google staff on leave from Dubai, resource on the groud in Tehran, to organize the infrastructure of the Iranian dissident revolt. Democracy is only applicable to targeted allies. Iran is safe from Obama.The UK and France are not.The prize in Egypt is much more attractive than anything in Iran, the control of the Suez Canal and a vulnerable southern border of Israel,by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Seriously, why not just offer an Iranian $10 million in gold for the death of Ahmadinejad and/or the Mullahs?

“The State Department recently began Farsi and Arabic-language Twitter feeds to better reach those young demonstrators, sending out key statements from the president and administration officials.”
Yeah, I’m really sure the demonstrators care what Obozo says, considering the last time they marched in the streets he bought ice cream and said nothing while students were being mowed down.

For starters, there’s no threat of losing military aid when compared to Egypt. But that shouldn’t inhibit a coherent message concerning human rights, not that coherency was delivered on behalf of the Egyptian mobocracy in action.

Because he already has the regime in place that he wants in Iran. One that is ready to destroy Israel.
To: MagnoliaB
“Obama’s careful formulation” What a BS piece of opinion writing. How about his not caring a whit about democracy in Iran, period. Ronald Reagan like? Hardly, more like Machiavelli.
