The president weighs in on the storming of the British embassy in Iran.
From the pool report:
"All of us I think are deeply disturbed by the crashing of the English embassy, the embassy of the United Kingdom in Iran. That kind of behavior is not acceptable and I strongly urge the Iranian government to hold those who are responsible to task. They have a responsibility to protect diplomatic outposts. That is a basic international obligation that all countries need to observe. And for rioters essentially to be able to overrun the embassy and set it on fire is an indication that the Iranian government is not taking its international obligations seriously. So obviously we're deeply concerned about that situation and we expect to see some sort of definitive action some time very quickly."

this from the guy who is less popular than Carter.
Just some rowdy party “crashers”, eh Hussein?
What an embarrassment. Where is Dutch when we need him?
“I have placed them on double-secret probation !”
Does he really think that this was a spontaneous uprising not sponsored by the Government?
“And for rioters essentially to be able to overrun the embassy and set it on fire is an indication that the Iranian government is not taking its international obligations seriously.”
That’s twice now in the last 30 or so years. If it happens again, we’re going to get really mad! You just wait, you’ll see!

“But really, as an anti-colonial kenyan, I think it is coool that the Iranians did this to the British— cause they deserve it. One of the reasons why I returned the Oval office bust of Churchill is because I can’t stand the Brits, the Queen or really anything white and English”.
“Oh, yeah.. I’m calling Jimmah Cahtah to find out what to do and whom to talk to in Iran... right after I talk with my buddy almostgotajob”.
A US President should never get the terms English and British confused. It’s sloppy, amateur, and does risk causing a lot of offence to one of America’s closest allies.
Sounds like its time for another round of golf.
I’m doubting that Obama even understands the implications of this act.
Heh heh heh....
Obama should be impeached! What a phony, lazy, meaningless statement. Where is the outrage?
Whoa, whoa, whoa there! Embassy attack? That’s inflamatory language, is there any proof the Iranians weren’t invited in? It may be a simple case of a party that got a little out of hand. /Obamaphile

I think Obama spends too much time, all by himself, in the area of the Oval Office, particularly the infamous Clinton lavatory. Let go of it, BHO, it is interfering with you focus.
That was his public reaction. What was his private reaction? Anything similar to the muzzie reaction to 9/11?
You are correct, but I don't think the Obama who returned the bust of Winston Churchill cares about offending the British unless he wishes he could offend them more.
A steaming pile of diplomat-sh*tspeak worthy of Jimmy Carter. And we're losing to this guy!
