Comments on: Obama on Iran: Don’t Blame Me http://blog.heritage.org/2009/06/23/obama-on-iran-don%e2%80%99t-blame-me/ Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:38:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Jerry from Chicago http://blog.heritage.org/2009/06/23/obama-on-iran-don%e2%80%99t-blame-me/#comment-39652 Jerry from Chicago Tue, 30 Jun 2009 13:58:38 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=9156#comment-39652 Gee, I guess all the posterior smooching and apologies for American arrogance, dismissiveness and derisiveness didn't play out as well as expected. Mr. Obama is certainly blameless for inciting protests in the streets of Iran. Has he ever encouraged anyone to protest against government's encroachment on individual freedom and attempts to silence criticism? With regard to Iran's 'freely elected' government opening fire on the protesters, one wonders if Mr. Obama might be taking a view sympathetic to the Iranian government. After all, where do these people get off criticizing government?

If he does then it is contradictory to the response that him and the liberals had towards the Tea Parties. He does not believe in the "right to assemble" because it is not how he views the constitution or freedom as a whole. Backing the protest towards the Irananian government would fully justify this country in doing the same which would jeopardize him, his administration, and is ideology.

Let the polls rule. Don't confront evil and stick to the moral high ground at the risk of commiting polital suicide. If Reagan had maintained such an attitude the Berlin wall would never have come down. I guess he will also wait to see if Hawaii is still intact after the Independence Day to confront Kim Jong Il.

His motto is, "Cut and Run." Rahm will count the votes. Obama understands every crisis is "above his pay grade," especially if he has to take a position or stand. His motto is, "Cut and Run."

The next thing you do is give clear direction, remove road blocks in their path, back their efforts, compensate them well get the hell out of their way and learn. This idiot has not done any of that. He has surrounded himself with idiots like himself. I spent 26 years in the military in a lot of nasty places defending this country from losers like this. Never realized that the worst enemy to this country and our freedom would come from within. It is truly a sad day for America. Come on 2010 and I pray our voting rights are still intact.

How can we do it? We need to have the media report the truth but as we can see they have been bought by Obama. But there sponsors are not. Do what I have been doing contact as many of the advertisers that use the media and tell them until there is fare and proper reporting on what is going on in Washington we will boycott there product. Let them pull there adds if the media dose not change they will be gone. Take back our country before it is to late. We must stand up for America now. How can we do it?

What is important to know is that in the Middle East, the person with the biggest gun gets to have the power to stablize. Mr. Obama, as the most powerful man in the world, is in a position to dictate this if he wants to. However, everybody expects him to and if he doesn't, the United States in nothing more than a paper tiger. I think we are headed down the wrong path by being too nice.
