Iranian Leader Assails President Obama’s Outreach

Why do I get the feeling this Obama vs. Iran is going to end up with Iran winning and the US looking/being weaker?
And then Obama’s response will be it was a problem he inherited from a previous administration and this failure with Iran is a distraction from his other plans.

It’s our fault. America has to do more to gain Iran’s confidence and respect.
President Obama promised to extend a hand and to talk with out pre-conditions. Obviously he has not done that in a competent and effective way.
It’s time for more of that “change” you promised, Mr. President.

“-Have you stopped your unconditional support for Israel?”
-Khamenei
He said ‘unconditional’. He didn’t say: “Have you stopped your support for Israel.”

And then Obama’s response will be it was a problem he inherited from a previous administration and this failure with Iran is a distraction from his other plans.

You’ve got his number Will.

“A rather naive comment. Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words, as it is said.”
Oh and what action do you suggest? -drop a bomb on them? -send them some flowers?
Since they don’t have a nuke yet, talking IS the appropriate action now.

Obama is the laughing stock of the world

I heard a guest on one of the shows say that Iran does not respect weakness.
If Obama apologizes as they have asked he will be perceived as a wimp.
They’ve thumbed their nose at him several times and he keeps crawling back.

I can’t imagine that Iran or any of our enemies are intimidated by Obama.
He has given them no reason to fear us–only to have hope that under Obama America is a much weaker country.

Is Iran still mad about Operation Ajax and Mosaddegh? How dare they hold anger at us for overthrowing their democratically elected leader and installing the Shaw, a cruel dictator. Surely we deserve to determine every Iranian’s fate, right?

To Independent Voter-I can’t be with you. As Obama and his admin. have no brain and lack of an elaborate strategies for foreign policy, economic plan and two wars so that it causes easily to make a lot of loophole like AIG bonus, answer of Iran’s Supreme Leader… etc. Do you remember that Obama said during the campaign that “the only reason the Iranians hate American is because Bush was in Oval office! He said if we voted for him they would love us again!” At that time I believed Obama’s just rhetorical
word, but not any more nowadays.

Obama is all talk. The American people are realizing that what we have in America is a one-party system. I remember when everyone voted Democrat because they promised to end the Iraq War but instead betrayed everyone who voted for them. Obama is the same. He has promised to continue the wars and is a continuation of the same project George W. was executing.

Obama…..a babe in the woods?

Our enemies are finding out what many of already know about Obama.
Take away his prepared speeches and there is not much to him.
He’s all talk.

“The president reached out in a very thoughtful way…”
Is that supposed to be some kind of sick joke?
This came from Obama less than two weeks ago:
“The President declared a national emergency with respect to Iran pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 1706) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the actions and policies of the Government of Iran.”
Obama’s mental state needs to be examined. Iran is a threat? Give me a break.

What do all the Monday morning quaterbacks suggest we do with Iran? It seems we Americans have become really good at complaining & complaining & complaining, never happy with anything anyone says or does. We hear a lot of smears but little in the way of good ideas.

Its like a leader of Iran coming to this country giving a speech asking Americans bow down to Islamic law.
The only ones who would love this are Obama and his bots

Both partys are the same. The Democrat party and Republicans are twins of the same globalized beast. Both partys work for wallstreet not the American people.
===========
All i can say is “WHAT?”
Who already spent more in one month than the whole history of recorded money of the world? I never heard the chosen one promise that CHANGE.

How is the media doing damage control on this SOB that is destroying our country. Obama needs to go now.

I am NOT a supporter of Obama but I really didn’t hear anything in this vidoe that was insulting. Maybe I didn’t listen very well and missed something but it sounded okay.I don’t know why Iran’s government would be offended by that. Oh well, thats just my opinion. Can’t believe I just posted something kind of nice about O. lol probably won’t happen again for awile.

“They give the slogan of change but we have seen nothing in practice. We have seen no change.”
Hey… wait a minute. We got more in common with this guy than I thought.

I find the back and forth use of moronic hand metaphors between two adversarial nations to be so idiotic that it sounds like part of a wacky comedy movie.
Enough with the “clenched fist, helping hand, velvet glove, iron fist” baloney.
More evidence of Obama’s cutesy words blowing up in our faces. He’s shown Russia, Iran and North Korea nothing but weakness and their flipping him the bird (how’s that for a hand metaphor?)

Unless this isn’t a very good translation it sounds to me like the Iranians don’t really want to fight. He said that they WILL change if we do. Since by far most Americans don’t want to fight either it would be a colossal blunder by both sides to get into an armed conflict at this point. Before they get close enough to building an atomic weapon that things come to a head militarily we better press full-on with diplomacy.

I am actually heartened that Iran is rejecting Obama’s overture. Do they really think he is in a position right now to offer more? And are they really in a position to be a holdout – oil is too low, they are too isolated, Mahmoud has screwed up the country royally the past few years with cockamamie projects including nukes that have no connection to prosperity and development for Iran.
To Huh: That’s “Mossadegh not Mosaddegh? and Shah not Shaw though I’m sure George Bernard would have been a cruel dictator, too. I won’t quibble with the fact that it did happen but that it was in our national interest both in regards to resources and the Soviet threat (remember that little thing, the Iron Curtain, and the border Iran had with Soviet republics. Hey, thanks for sharing though, it’s still a free counry, aint it?

The mad mullahs had better regain their sanity quickly.
Worse pollution on the planet is nuclear pollution, which remain to maim and kill for tens of thousands of years.
Obama knows priority. Mending fences with the Russians is top of the list.
The Iranians could quickly see themselves isolated fast.
And considering that Iranian nukes are conveniently underground, that makes it very easy to bury them right there.
Had the dumb and wild bush had not gone into Iraq UNPROVOKED, the Iranians would not be wrongly guessing that US will not bury their nuclear program.

Iran’s Ayatollah knows Mr Obama doesnt have what it takes.

Welcome to the “Change we can Believe in” world. Can we all just get along????
Be afraid…………….be very afraid.

Skip – Oops, I meant too many.

Huh – Actually it was ‘robert b’ @9:20 that was correcting your spelling and trying to justify our inserting the Shah.

They are cowards.

Should the US let Iran have nuke weapon capability? If not, as Obama has said, do you think Obama will use military force to disrupt their plans? Time is running out.

Obama is worse than I first thought. He is too naive. I regret voting for him. Please sack him now.

You people with this “the last 8 years sob story” need to go change your diapers. The last two years of the Bush Ad, had a democratically controlled house AND senate. Obama was as complicit as anybody as he had a voice, and votes during his tenure. Obama has already doubled the deficit that Bush left, and that deficit was in part due to Democrats, and their greed. There is no more blame on Bush that is credible. Obama is simply an incompetent narcissistic, arrogant, and overly audacious individual, with an agenda hatched from 20 years in a church, and a youth surrounded by far left anti-american ideologues. America bit on Obama because they have been systematically dummied up for years, by Hollywood, and liberal media. Now they will pay the price.

“When that “little voice” in our heads were saying, Barack Obama is a novice to politics and absolutely not seasoned or experienced enough to be our President, WE SHOULD OF LISTENED.”
At least for me and most of the people I know that little voice in our heads was completely drowned out by a much much bigger voice saying that John McCain was a veteran of big business politics as usual, and we listened to that voice instead.

The PEOPLE of Iran will get the message.
This is the best possible way for the country to change. No matter how powerful a “supreme leader” thinks they are… if the people decide to move as a community/group to disagree, there is no way the current Iranian regime can stand.
Do you think the King of England was sending loving messages to his “subjects” that decided to take America for themselves?
THINK about it… for some of you this may be difficult, but please try.

US: Happy New year Terrorist.
IRAN: Thanks Imperialist.
US: How is ur nuclear program going?
IRAN: fine, have u released our assets?
US: Not yet, but we have extended ur sanctions instead. U khow, U took 54 of our staff in hostage for 444 days. so, we should somehow punish u.
IRAN: That makes sense; but also, U killed our 300 passengers on a civilian airplane (300>54, killing>hostage), and that military commander received an honorary degree for that.
US: Oh, yeah, good memories.
IRAN: U have also supported Saddam when he attacked us.
US: But later we toppled him just for u.
IRAN: That’s kind of u.
US: bye
IRAN: bye bye

Obama needs to be unseated from his job as President ASAP. Good grief, the man doesn’t know his head from a hole in the ground and he’s destroying America and I honestly believe he’s doing it on purpose.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei provided the first official reaction to a video greeting to Iran that Obama released Friday on the occasion of Nowruz, the Persian new year. “We have no experience of this new president and administration,” Ayatollah Khamenei said. “We will wait and see. If you change your attitude, we will change, too. If you do not change, then our nation will build on its experience of the past 30 years.”
What are the facts?
There is no dispute that Iran is already a nuclear state. The states with this capacity are many; among them are Japan and Germany. But, there is a great difference between nuclear fuel cycle capacity, and a state with nuclear bomb, such as India, USA, Russia, England, France, China, Israel and Pakistan. The steps required to allay our fear that Iran in the future may develop Nuclear Bomb are:
1. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Consortium;
2. An international nuclear shield for all nations in the Middle East, including Iran;
3. A nuclear free Middle East.
Iran already has provided a window for cooperation with USA. They have invited USA and other states such as Germany, Japan to participate as a member of an International consortium to enrich uranium in Iran. We must accept their invitation to actively monitor the process.
To ease the tension in the Middle East, first we must manage Israel. We can not diffuse the problem of our own creation at the expense of Iranians.
Could President Obama’s foreign and internal policies be independent of Israel?
Patrick Buchanan, attached as comment to the above link, is a good starting point of discussion for changing our course in the Middle East.
Do you really think that the situation has changed at all over the past 35 years?

President George W. Bush proven correct about the Islamocommunist Persians.
President George W. Bush proven correct on North Korea, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Hamas, Hezbollah, Israel, Syria, Afghanistan etc…
So now Mr. Obama in insulting President Bush has now been insulted by the leader of the communist Persians.
Now America has not only the problem of looking like it does not know what it is doing led by Obama, but has the problem of being humiliated on the world stage by the Persian communists.
A person who occupies the White House can not be dismissed like this by anyone and yet Russia and Iran have both now dismissed American leadership.
This will bring terror attacks as confidence grows. It will eventually bring a big war to America, because Mr. Obama is ruling from a 5th grade elementary liberal misunderstanding in how the adult world operates.
God bless

If you really want to understand how they view Obama’s message in Iran, Google “Laura Ingraham & Brigitte Gabriel – Obama & Iran (3/20/09)”. Gabriel is brilliant.

“If you really want to understand how they view Obama’s message in Iran, Google “Laura Ingraham & Brigitte Gabriel – Obama & Iran (3/20/09)”. Gabriel is brilliant.”
You must mean if we really want to understand how they choose to portray Obama’s message in Fox-News right-wing fantasy land. Do you think I’m going to believe these dolled-up talking mannequins’ snide interpretations of what real courage is? -while they try and scare me with some pictures of primitive Iranian missiles? What a joke!

Note: 8 Years in Office and George W. Bush never did a Damn Thing to Iran, Bush also took N. Korea Off the Terrorist List and spoke to Iranians via a Bush Diplomatic Peace Keeping Group.
OK….
All of You Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Dennis Praeger, Michael Savage and Anne Coulter Tough Talking Faux-Patriots…

UNBELIEVABLE !!

Wow, even the Iranians can see through Obama, why can’t we>

“Some of you Maniacs won’t be Happy, until the World is Destroyed by the 1st and Only”
Fascinating, by being stern to Iran about nuke weapons, willing to do anything to prevent it, they are maniacs wanting to destroy the world? That’s rich.
Ommentum, how far are you willing to go to prevent Iran from getting nukes? Lay it out there for us, just assume diplomacy fails and they give it the finger. How far should the world go to prevent it.

“Dead Silent on these Glaring Numbers !!”
After 9/11, the left, and the American people screamed to improve intelligence, tighten up border security, have more police and security in the US. That cost federal dollars. Naturally most expected more federal spending.
However, Bush and the congress did go far beyond in spending on things like prescription drug programs, more money in medicaid, as well as bloated pork spending. For that everyone can agree that it was too much spending.
But now we are spending at twice the rate of Bush and somehow that’s justified? Bush spending was pork, Obama spending is stimulus? Bush earmarks bad, Obama earmarks equals jobs! The blatant hypocrisy is astonishing.

Indepent voter–”Bush book will come out just in time for the 2010 elections. Just in time for us to look at the decisions that give us the deficit and the cost of the deficit.
Already nerds in the middle east have seen Obama’s message and it will do more for the American image then Bush’s approach.
______________________________
Umm, Bush did not “give us the deficit” though he did increase it. (War has a tendency to do that).
What Obama’s “message” (along with his hefty contribution to Hamas) will tell the middle east is that we have another “carter like” president who thinks sending a debate team to the gun fight will result in success..When you treat a terrorist state as an equal, you build a footing for them to stand on when they kick you in the shins…

O–” You are the only unbelievable one…First, bush did NOT expand government to its largest size ever..thats simply untrue, its also untru that he Implemented a trillion dollar stimulus”.. the bulk of his stimulus was in tax breaks NOT spending. Obama on the other hand has SPENT over 4.5 trillion so far.. and there is no indication to date that any of it has or will work…I am not even going to address your other comments about the war.. other than to say whyd id you use the name “O”.. was “code pink” already taken.. Wars are expensive, and people form both sides die including innocents.. that is pretty much what makes war undesirable and a deterrent.. Compare some of your numbers with WW2 and see how thye stack up.. are you aware that we lost more people in the first hour of the Normandy invasion than we have lost in the entire Iraqi war? that the death toll for Viet Nam was 20 times that of Iraq — or that while we have killed thousands of Iraqi citizens, Pol Pot killed a million cambodians and vietnamese civilians because we left the battle field too soon..
Perhaps we should blame all those deaths on you folks who forced us out of there before the job was finished…
You and those who share your strong opinions against war are just as responsible for those deaths as any soldier on the ground…

O…”let nature take it’s course.” Really, does that include ALL global conflicts, or just the ones that the liberals sanction; such as, Darfur, Sudan. where people are being killed and tortured by unmerciful dictatorial leaders who either want to gain power or control power….Or perhaps Afghanistan where Obama wants to increase troop strength.. Ummmm sounds familiar does it not, Iraq, but wait that was a Republican led war and that was just wrong was it not? Perhaps you should go to Iraq and explain your views to the families who tried to claim or identify their loved ones bodies in mass graves..I am sure they would welcome your opinion..

Get your Politi-Facts Straight…
Politifacts: Rep. Mitch McConnell is Dead Wrong on Obama’s Stimulus.
$326 Billion of the $787 billion cost of the stimulus is from [[Tax Cuts]], according to this report by Congress’ Joint Committee on Taxation.
That is not generally considered “spending”
It was Unfair to say the Democrats “Spent” the entire $787 Billion in [[One Month]]
The spending will take place over the next [[7 Years]], with the Bulk of it coming not in the MONTH it was PASSED, or even this YEAR, but in..
[YEAR 2010]
