Liz Smith on Obama's Dogfight
In response to: What should the U.S. do IF the Iranian election was not honest? And if it was, did the outcome set us back?
We should keep supporting President Obama’s status in this dogfight (it’s not our country), and we should be encouraging to the people of Iran. Even Pat Buchanan, arch conservative, believes Obama’s position on Iran is the right one. What does the Conservative Right want? Another war for us with Iran or to worsen relations with a government and a people that may be softening up without the irritation of George Bush. Regardless of who, which side is in power in the near future in Iran, that is who Obama will have to deal and negotiate with. We should stand aside and let Iran speak for itself.

Yes Deber, one thing for sure is that the next President will have a real reason to blame his predecessor! I only hope that the people will not be so broken down that we find ourselves afraid to make a change when soooooo much has been invested.
You know that he will start lamenting that he "wasn’t done yet" "things haven’t had a chance"…blah blah blah. It’s kind of like going to Vegas…you loose a bit and don’t think that you can walk away….gotta win that money back before you go….
This entire country is going to need a 12 step program after Obama gets through with us. Can you just see that elitist Obama in Africa? Not a good thing….he would never make it there….
Besides, Michelle will run for something. She is a black Hilliary…with one difference, I don’t think that her husband is interested in chasing women…if you get my drift.
Gosh, Kelly, we will need to elect two presidents in 2012 to tackle Obama’s deficit!! Tandem Presidente in 2012!
Deber, Did a few people here in the past have not accuse President Obama of putting Americans in danger? Well, why would he interfere with Iran’s affairs and make us (this country) a target for conflict and possible war.
Do you realize getting involve with Iran’s affairs will cost us financially because we would have to sent troops there to keep the peace. There are other countries in the world who can help; let them to be the first to help and we will follow if we have too. Whats with the obsession with power. When a person or country is unable to control their power they destroy them-self. President Obama know that the United States has the power to help Iranian people, but he will use his powers with diplomacy rather than arrogance. I praise him for that. We do not need to be involve in another war with anyone!
oh gheez deber,,,,,some of that stuff you put up is not relevant anymore, for the propoganda project—-Obama IS, for REAL, the President of the US now….the election is past history…..a majority voted for him…and unllike the last 2 elections—-each ovote was counted as it was intended when the voter submitted his choice…..
Secondly—them there are some weak supporting rationalizations….could you be just a bit more specific ? Back it up with some real ‘meat’ if you get my drift….instead of ‘slogans’?,,,
Patty, who are you talking too. If that person is me then you need to address your response directly to me.
The same people who accused President Obama of putting us Americans in danger by being nice to other countries are the same people who are accusing him of not doing anything for Iran. Make up your minds! And NO I am not CANADIAN! Just because I made a statement does not mean I am Canadian.

No—-apparently I was not talking to you—I was talking to canuck canuck
Below see the Wikipedia definition of Canuck—-note that it refers to Canadians……..
RE: Obama and Iran: Dear A Amedee…..my position is and has always been that Obama and the USA should keep our noses out of another countries internal problems…..We are not the rulers of the world, we are not responsible for the elections in Iran, and just as they did when in 2000 and 2004, there were more votes cast for Bush than registered voters, in a couple of places…..other countries kept THEIR noses out of our elections…..it is called RESPECT…ask Aretha!
Yay , Under stimulated…Barry E. Newman is back!
I laugh out loud everytime I see you post….and heaven knows that we need the laughter…..
