Axelrod Blasts Ahmadinejad’s ‘Bloviations’

as much as i would want, diplomacy will not work with Ahmadinejad. We now can see that he only cares about power for himself and he doesnt care for his people. The only thing he would accept in diplomacy is something that would benefit him.

A weak President Obama brought this mess on. Had he spoken out stronger immediately when people were being denied their vote we would not be in this place now. Obama is totally impotent and a madman took advantage of him.

Doreen: Really? How would that have helped? All Iran would have done is crack down sooner, and more forcefully, by aligning the protesters with their enemy the U.S. They’re more concerned with staying in power than world opinion, and they know that our armed forces are stretched way too thin to do anything about it anyway, which is thanks to President G.W. Bush.

I agree, Obama is a weak President and has brought this on himself. Remember, Obama wanted to “sip” tea with Ahmadinejad. I voted for Obama, but hope and pray he will not be re-elected in 2012. This Democrat will NEVER vote for Obama again. He continues to personify the “empty suit, no substance” President. I’m embarrassed by him and his lying and deceit.

this is what abc “news” and g. steph. want us to remember from the way that g. steph. curtly and freq. attempted to change the subject and interrupt mr. axelrod? that mr. axelrod used one word, and then attempted to get back to issues he clearly wanted to detail, much to (it appeared) g. steph’s chagrin. i think abcnews, and particularly g. steph. are drama junkies, in that they attempt to create even more tension and drama, by magnifying a particular word rather than presenting info. for the american people and allowing them to decide what they want to pay attention to. i loved the way mr. axelrod held his own, despite freq. interruptions and subject changes by g. steph.

Where you guys seen weakness is where the intelligent people see brillance? Ask yourself would you have supported bombing Iran a month ago. If you were reasonable, you would have said no. Now that the US did not antagonize Iran and the world sees that we were very fair and balanced in this process, it strengthens our hand dramatically. No longer are we the irresponsible, bellicose war monger but we are reasonable and respectable people.
Obama gave Ahmadinhad and the Clerics enough rope to hang themselve. Now nearly 50% of their own population is against their own establishment and allows us a much better advantage if we were to ever attack Iran.
I think more people do understand the viciousness of the Iranian regime and the apologists case has been weakened dramatically.
So for those that are a bit savy and understand how these situations work out, it truly is brilliant what Obama has done albeit it may be frustrating for the simple minded.

dk said, “I agree, Obama is a weak President and has brought this on himself.”
What, exactly, did he ‘bring on himself’? What’s your point?

narumanchi: I disagree whole heartedly with you. I believe the US does maintain the moral high ground. The fact that the US has NOT used WMD against an enemy since WW2 (and against an enemy that used WMD . . . look it up) says alot about our character. Quite frankly, many other nations in the World having the same military advantage would have used them to commit terrible crimes against the world. I’m not saying the US is perfect in this matter but compared to the alternative . . . give me a brteak.

Diplomacy makes President Obama weak? You’ve got to be kidding me! Dropping bombs as a way of “negotiating” without trying other means is what makes us weak. Actually, I’m a registered Independent and I didn’t vote for him, but I have to say the man is a brilliant communicator and thinker.
His goal is to show the world that the Iranian people are against thier own govenment. Not us. We can’t change anything over there and we have no plan to do so. Put on your thinking caps guys and look at the bigger picture, if you can.

this guy is a joke, he has no real power, he is a puppet for the all powerful Ayatollahs and he has a serious case of little man sydrome. he and that little nut job in North Korea need to squashed like the little pesky bugs they are.

Has Axelrod had any foriegn policy experience? Just wondering if we have anyone in the Whitehouse that has the experience to deal with these crazies.

Mr. Axelrod did not really answer any of your questions! Ask him why the unions and Congressional members would not pay any taxes on their health care, while all of the rest of us would??? The Cap and Trade and Health Care bills are as much garbage as the stimulus package. Look at the waste, rip-offs being hidden in the bills, and it stinks. Why would they quickly cram so much down our throats, unless they want to get it all passed before we wake up and see what they have done. Czars, overspending, lieing, Do they really think we are not watching? Do they really think they can keep doing this, totally partisan, and no one will see?
This is so terribly sad. Stripping our nation of constitutional rights, overspending, neutering our national security. This is a SHAME!

It makes me laugh when the “O” supporters call those who disagree “less intelligent” and then proceed to just blindly follow without questioning and thinking for themselves. How is that more intelligent? The reason that we have problems with North Korea, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan is that this administration does not have any clear vision on how to handle foreign policy. I agree that we can not go around bombing every country we do not agree with, but there are options that have been used by other administrations that have been successful. As to Axelrod, he is just another empty suit that has had the opportunity to “bloviate”.

BLOVIATIONS ? Geez, have you ever listened to your buddy Emperor O’Babble !?

I would like to know just how DOREEN thinks that if President Obama is weak and just how if he had spoken out stronger it would have made a difference? Do you think Ayatollah Ali Khamenei or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would have said “oh golly Mr. Obama is tough talking us, we better come clean and do what he says!”
Just come off it, You hate the president and America and are trying fault Obama fir the Iranian election fruad.

Ray: Axelrod is a PR guy. No experience outside of that. If you watched his entire interview on TW you probably noticed he had the talking points down pat for Cap & Trade and Healthcare “Reform.” He was a stammering deer in the headlights when George asked him about Iran.

Nick B; Yes and if it wasn’t for global warming we would still be in the ice age. This fantasy on global warming is a joke why did the Obama admin supress the reports last week that refuted the whole global warming fanasy???

I take it that many of you who enjoy being free don’t necessiarly want to help others fighting to be free. You would have us all just turn a blind eye to the youth of Iran, much like we did with Hitler when he was killing the Jews? Sorry, I don’t buy it. Obama is weak and because of that, he is strengthing the mullahs and dictators.

Ray: the are good at not paying taxes.

WE CAN`T GET AN HONEST ELECTION IN THIS COUNTRY(BUSH#2) AL FRANKEN AND COLEMAN WHO ARE WE TO TELL OTHER COUNTRIES THAT THEIR ELECTION IS CORRUPT.
