Obama criticized for 'sideline approach' to Iran

[jackandjanie1]

he better get on the ball soon or he's gone to have his hands full with the citizens in this country , no health care , no jobs , no money equeals rioting in the streets ! we should take away health care from " ALL" government workers until "ALL" of the citizens of the united states have healthcare

[TuWylde]

obama needs to step up, those dirty cleric assholes dont care about people of iran they only care about keeping the country and they will kill people with no remorse, and if he doesnt the senate needs to continue like they have! thank you senate, Obama take a lesson

[Coraxuss]

You know, I bet the GOP knows that if Obama chose one side of the Iranian conflict, it would make him look like a dumb ass, that's why they're trying to pressure him. As long as Obama holds his ground, the more tarnished the GOP's reputation becomes. Then again, their lame attempt to force Obama off the sideline is helping to do that anyways.

[GenXFuturist101]

Obama is taking an intelligent approach. He is not as simple as some type of cattle who can be herded by timed emotional issues. His and our national response is not weak or passive either as evidenced by the congress today meeting to discuss as a nation that we support all citizens of the world's right to have their voices heard.

Anyone who expects Obama to produce a rhetoric ridden response is not demonstrating the maturity necessary to take them seriously in the world of politics.

[oilhammer04]

Obama's clueless . . . . he is out of his depth . . . . beyond his pay grade.

[CynNichol]

oilhammer04, Obama is Sunni, but the protesters aren't...

[oilhammer04]

I didn't know. I guess this changes everything.

[MissingGWdotcom]

Check this CNN report where reporter says Iranian students are asking him all day where is Obamas support? they need his support are they are doomed they say! watch?v=3BcFx380pFA

[MissingGWdotcom]

Obama failed to stand up with the Iranians who are tired of decades of rigged elections and repression. Obama blew it and instead he wants to talk, be friends and legitimize Ahmadinejad, same with Chavez, a disgrace!

[tresdizz]

you didnt give two shits about iran til a black man who you cant criticize for shit has been in office for only 6 months.

[MissingGWdotcom]

Well for one Obama is white, check his relatives in Kansas. Obama should have cut off humanitarian aid to Iran the day this started. Obama has already given Iran more in aid than was given all of 2008. God Bless her, she died too young. God bless them all. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's beard runs red.

[tresdizz]

the color black is most dominate, anyway check this out: One hundred days is an awfully short time, said John Rother, AARP executive vice president for policy and strategy. The true measure of comparison ought to be the track record of previous presidents, and by that measure Obama has accomplished quite a lot.

so tell me why do you hate him?

[cool29801]

A lot of bad you mean?

We are in debt FAR beyond what we can ever get out of, look at the new health care plan and such! It's BS!!!

[tresdizz]

[MissingGWdotcom]

What Obama screws up but we have to wait some length of time? LOLOL like libs saying surge was a failure before it started. You see Obama and Ahmadinejad argueing like children? Obama needs to grow and so do far left libs. Like when Pelosi went to Syria and made a fool of herself. She said Israel wanted to talk peace. Israel slammed her saying it is their policy to isolate terrorist, they know what they need to do and when they change then Israel will talk peace. You isolated these nuts

[MissingGWdotcom]

Black lib Theology, stupid things said like 57 states, sweetie, bittergate, his socialist cousin, constant changing positions, racist comments (typical whitey), Selma comments, Obama going to create/save 3.5 million jobs, claims he was a professor for 12 years, whites need to do what is right, no clue on Russians, NAFTA lie caught red handed, saying uncle liberated Auschwitz death camp and this is just off the top of my head!

[tresdizz]

he has alot on his plate. please be reasonable, logical, understanding and patient. i know that everyone is looking for answers, but i wouldnt wish this stuff on my worst enemy. you know who the culprit of this national crisis and i understand that people want change like yesterday. use your head and be open minded like a parachute, change is coming not in five minutes though. i love you bro and i love america more than ever before because i know now everyone has a chance. give him one.

[Wiems35]

hey "bro" tell me how you know everyone has a chance now, seeing as Obama hasn't even been in office for a year. I know he had a tough plate coming in but let's face it, he's not god's gift to politics, he's just another politician.

[tresdizz]

oh yeah i feel and respect that, but he never said he was. as a matter of fact he said during his campain run that everything wont get done during his term but the public are the ones who gave themselves such high expectations not me or obama. as a black man i do have to say he is my hero since all of our other heros have been taken away from us by a hater who has alot of heros.

[tresdizz]

tell me this bro: you own a piece of land that your proud of. you allow me to come over for dinner because of my reputation in the past, and we discuss buisness dealings. later i screw you over, then i try to dictate how you live in your house (pilgrim vs. ind.) how long will it take for my brother to restore that trust? how can he do it? i left him my trail of troubles, now i have to please everyone he screwd. can i get it all done in 1 day, or will it take time to address each issue? be fair.

[MissingGWdotcom]

Obama never supports the opposition and is all to willing to talk to the evil people whether this in Venezuela, Syria, Iran or anyone else in the world because Obama cannot tell the difference between good and bad. The nutty Liberals like Obama have been taught not to discriminate no matter what, not even between good and evil, America is just as bad as them, Ahmadinejad is just as good as the opposition, wrong wrong wrong

[BoycottCentral]

Well, he can STILL say something about the killings. What right do they have to kill people. It is quite obvious that the election was rigged and someone needs to stand up for the iraqi's rights.

If that was happening in your country, would YOU not want the president of another country to stand up for you and your rights? I agree he needs to take it SLOW at first, but eventually, when the majority takes over, you have to do something.

[tubeflashinko]

it's IRAN not IraQ!

And Obama's taking the right approach!!! but not giving the rulling Mullah's the excuse that all the protestors are just under CIA's influence and are treators causing instability in the Islamis "Republic" which then by their rules is punishable by the death penalty!

There's NOTHING that Obama can do, how would him mouthing off Ahmadinejad help the protestors in anyway???! think guys, it'll just make it worse for them.

[BoycottCentral]

Quite obvious that was a TYPO, considering my OP says IRAN.

oh and BTW, its ruling not rulling and it's Islamic, not islamis!

[MarioCyrascoII]

Indeed, he's taking the right approach in not getting involve because that would bring the immense hatred towards the Mullahs and the "anti-christian" president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. My apologies for saying that. I once made a video inviting all Iranians to express their content on the elections, but Islamists fired harsh rhetoric towards me and I had to take it down. It is best not to get involved.

[BoycottCentral]

Obama needs to stand up for the people of Iran.

[ruaddd]

If Obama does that though it would be counterproductive. It would be all over the Iranian state media that Obama is supporting the protesters and to Iranians would only support statements made by Ahmedinajad that these protesters are puppets of America.

[im4wur]

There's a subtly to Obama's approach that escapes many. - I can't help but wonder if those calling for Obama to be more outspoken with regard to his support of Mousavi. Know that the International Atomic Energy Commission reported that when Mousavi was Prime Minister in the 80s, he approved the purchase of centrifuges from the nuclear black market.

[equsnarnd]

@ruaddd What disgusting practical cowardice in the service of upholding your sycophantic relationship to this President. There are many ways to support the protesters and criticize the gov't. Perhaps Ahmadinejad will be seen as a tool of Western Imperialism with that lame response of Obama's. It's an outrage and you and GenXFuturist101 should be ashamed for supporting it. But no more so than the people that brought this report to you mixing peas and revolution on the same clip. Revolting.
