"The president of the United States should be the leader of the free world.
In the past week, we have discovered he is not.
That mantle has been firmly grasped by Gordon Brown, the prime minister of Britain.
This week, as it became clear to any fair-minded observer that the Iranian election had been stolen by the mullahs to give the Iranian presidency to the radical Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the new Obama administration offered very shallow support for democracy.
In his first statement on the election earlier this week, the president simply said he was “deeply troubled” by the post-election violence, offered no support for democracy, and failed to condemn the regime’s use of violence.
Don't believe me, then just ask the guy from whom the Iranian election was stolen.
Mousavi Accuses Obama of 'Misleading the World'
Obama made clear it was up to Iranians to determine their own future.
Later, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told the media: "This is a debate inside of Iran for Iranians."
The message was clear from the end of June 12, when balloting ended, that the U.S. government planned to offer no opinion as Ahmadinejad, with the backing of the supreme ayatollah, would prevent former Prime Minister Mir Hossein Mousavi from claiming Iran’s highest elected office.
On Friday, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, gave his official blessing to Ahmadinejad and warned of stern actions against protesters.
As the U.S. sat wringing its hands, Mr. Obama’s counterpart in London was terribly blunt and clear about the situation in Iran.
"We are with others, including the whole of the European Union unanimously today, in condemning the use of violence, in condemning media suppression," Brown said in Brussels after an EU summit.
"It is for Iran now to show the world that the elections have been fair … that the repression and the brutality that we have seen in these last few days is not something that is going to be repeated."
"We want Iran to be part of the international community and not to be isolated. But it is for Iran to prove ... that they can respect these basic rights," he said.
Compare those statements with the tepid Obama White House, claiming they don’t want to appear to be “meddling” in Iran’s internal affairs.
The fact is that America is already being accused of meddling by Khamenei.
And when thousands of fanatics came to hear Khamenei condemn the protests, they chanted: “Death to America, death to England and death to Israel!”
The inclusion of England in the hate chant -- that until this week only included the U.S. and Israel -- is telling.
During his rant, Ayatollah Khamenei called Britain "the most treacherous" enemy of Iran.
The Iranians have set their sights on Britain because they know they have a cream puff in the White House. Britain poses problems because it can push for EU trade sanctions against Iran.
When attacked by the Ayatollah, Brown didn’t roll over. He hit back. On Friday, Brown’s Foreign Office summoned the Iranian ambassador and sharply critiqued Iranian attacks on Britain and the election process.
After demonstrating weakness, an embarrassed Obama administration has slowly and reluctantly ramped up its criticism of the tyrannical regime in Iran.
Still, Sen. John McCain slammed Obama for his weak response.
McCain said: "He should speak out that this is a corrupt, flawed sham of an election and that the Iranian people have been deprived of their rights.”
The Obama administration’s actions are odd and raise many questions.
We face a madman, Ahmadinejad, at the helm of a maniacal regime that manages a sham democracy. This same regime has sworn itself to acquire nuclear weapons and use them against Israel.
Given the opportunity to simply support democracy, Obama decided to take a pass.
The unanswered question is why Barack Obama has been determined to coddle this crazed regime in Tehran."
Ah hell, that's an easy one.1) ALL liberals despise America, and that means America's enemies are their BFF, 2) Obama in particular was born moslem, so but of course he's going to back the play of the mullah's over a mere few hundred thousand protesting voters.
Add all this to the fact that King Obo VOWED to wow the world with hugs, kisses, and his sparkling personality. Thought it'd work, too. The media told him he was all that and a bag of chips, so what's with this sudden amazement that he is in full frontal coddle?
Don't believe me, then just ask the man from whom the Iranian election was stolen:
