Obama says world 'appalled' by Iran brutality

President Barack Obama on Tuesday criticized Iran for cracking down on protesters, declaring that the United States and the entire world are "appalled and outraged" — a clear toughening of his rhetoric as Republican critics at home accuse him of being too passive.

Obama condemned the "threats, beatings and imprisonments of the last few days."

"I strongly condemn these unjust actions," he added.

"I have made it clear that the United States respects the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and is not interfering in Iran's affairs," Obama said. "But we must also bear witness to the courage and dignity of the Iranian people, and to a remarkable opening within Iranian society. And we deplore violence against innocent civilians anywhere that it takes place."

Dont be in denial. You know its true. Last thing we need is a president that turns the other cheek. But he did just tell Iran not to talk to him like that, so I give him some credit there.

So dont call me an idiot when you cant read between the lines and see whats going on. Snap out of it and see Obama for what he really is.

How old are you, five? You sound like an idiot!

HAHAHAHA

Even after his Mid East Apology Tour, the leaders of Muslim countries are telling him to screw off.

After this statement made by Obama, the leaders of Iran called him Bush and told him to shut the fuck up (lol). What did the GREAT OBAMA do? Bowed his head in shame like a bitch, because hes a pussy!!!

No one likes Obama anymore. His approval rating is dropping by the second. Hahaha

Way to go libtards!!

bla bla bla, stop talking about things you don't understand. you're making shallow points on complicated issues and you're delivering them worse than a news reporter.

What is the difference between Obama and Bush? A part from being black there is no difference, he is still putting 700.000 in prison for smoking weed, and at the same time he says that Iran is treating the people poorly, he is not better than Irans murdering president. Fuck Obama, he is a liar and is just another face in the White House.
