Outraged at Last!

Finally, finally the President is outraged over what is going on in Iran. First stealing an election that was not open or fair to begin with (the unelected Mullahs got to pick the candidates). Second, they announced the results immediately when it should have taken days to count all the ballots. Next, the results themselves were highly suspect. All pre-election polls predicted a loss for Ahmadinejad or at least a very close election but the results announced were a landslide for the incumbent. Then we began to hear that there were more votes than voters in some providence's but that is nothing new for a politician from Chicago.

When Iranian citizens began to protest in the streets they were tear gassed, beaten, and some were killed. President Obama's spokesman called this a "debate". Worse still, the President himself said there was "very little difference between the two candidates". That is not what people risking their lives to achieve democracy want to hear from the President of the United States. However, it is what we can expect from our current President who has no true core principles.

Now, finally our President is using words like outraged but as the mullahs close their iron fist on the citizens of Iran it is too little too late.
