Internal Discord Over Obama's Iran Response? by Holly Bailey
It’s not just Republicans who are unhappy with President Obama’s muted response to what’s happening in Iran. There’s apparently an internal divide at the White House over how tough or not Obama should be.
According to the New York Times this morning, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden “would like to strike a stronger tone in support of protestors” while “other White House officials have counseled a more cautious approach.”
Obama has clearly sided with the latter, saying he doesn’t want to be seen as “meddling” in the Iranian elections.
What’s interesting to the Gaggler that this is the second or third time we’ve heard about internal discontent coming from this very buttoned down, very on message, very “all is great” White House. So who leaked this out?

Tee Hee
:-)!
Maybe that’s why Hillary ‘accidentally’ had her elbow fracture. I wonder if Biden is going to have his pinky finger ‘accidentally’ end up falling off.
Hillary will probably play Biden like the total fool he is, stroking his ego and the like. These two choices will be the biggest regrets Obama has in the end. I also think that the Clintons are letting a good dish of revenge chill.
He seems to have no problem meddling in Israel's internal affairs. Why be so hesitant with Iran?
6 months in .... only problem is this guy likes to fire anyone who disagrees with him
SECTION 4! SECTION 4! SECTION 4!
Hillary stands up to Zero...and THEN she has a broken limb?.Hmmm????
When even Biden and Hill appear to have more guts than you, that’s not good.
Interesting that this shows up and Hillary breaks her elbow.
Coincidence???
lol
My thoughts exactly.
Why do I have the feeling that Amadinajab told Obama specifically not to “meddle”.
Because Zero is having back channel negoiations with the mullahs maybe?
Blood in the water.
We may see a resignation, a la Nixon, or an impeachment coming up tout suite.
May we live in interesting times.
Zero feels qualified to select a new PM for Israel, Afghanistan and Iraq..why not Iran?
I guess he is really happy with the one they have.
It appears that Zero has failed the 3AM test
And Hillary breaks her arm “falling down”, it’s gettin downright violent in the white house.
Wow! Even Jimmah Carter had more of a spine!
Yes, may we. I doubt it though. He is too big to fail. al-MSM is too vested. Heck, look at the IG firings. Just one example. *sigh*
Zero got to her elbow before Hllary could start throwing the White House astrays again
Hillary will resign, citing “irreconcilable differences” over foreign policy. The question is whether she will wait until after the 2010 elections. If she wants to challenge BHO in ‘12, she has to start early. To minimize overall damage to the party, she would wait until after the 2010 elections. To maximize her own chances of beating BHO, she would leave before.
Hmmmmm...what would a Clinton do?
Guess I won’t get a damn gubmint job then.
Why do I get the feeling 0bamba would comply, like a pliant little puppy?
cracks in the facade....
“What’s interesting to the Gaggler that this is the second or third time we’ve heard about internal discontent coming from this very buttoned down, very on message, very “all is great” White House. So who leaked this out?”
hmmmm..so what are the other three times that the press refused to report?
Newsweek is in the tank for Obama, so they probably want this ‘story’ out there to make it appear that there are some ‘checks and balances’ in Obama’s administration..when we all know there is not.
There are no checks and balances in any branch of the government right now nor in the State Run Media.

Hillary 2012?
We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this Nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
This much we pledge—and more.
To those peoples in the huts and villages across the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required—not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are—but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"—a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.
ABC News shills for democrats - the Gaggler should ask them...
I wish they’d throw him under the bus and leave him there.
I wish he wouldn’t ‘meddle’ with ANYTHING!
I think NOT!...hehehhe :)
Ain’t ot a shame? I saw Up yesterday and what comes to mind is ....can’t we put the cone of shame on Obama?
Hilly would have to start fundraising for the primaries before the 2010 elections, could she do it secretly under cover of darkness?

JFK had a way with words...
He’s trying to please the wrong people. As hard as the MSM tried, they will not save him. I saw Blitzer trying to covers for Bambi last night, double-teaming with Carvelle against Ben Stein. I’ve never seen such shameless pandering to 0.
Obama has clearly sided with the latter, saying he doesn’t want to be seen as having any core beliefs or a backbone.
Fixed it.
When I read his meddling comment - that same thought came to me. He meddles when/where it suits his agenda.
“...could she do it secretly under cover of darkness?”
She’s a Clinton—that’s what the machine is for! I’m sure it’s already underway...
Obama better be ready for a challenge within his own party if those falling Wall Street Journal poll numbers are any indication...
This is the funny part. Not a single one of these treasonous coup members is advocating any *action*, just differing flavors of more *words*.
I sure am glad Obama isn't an American. I'd be ashamed...
