Voting fraud exists in the U.S.A. and if it can happen "in-the-land-of-the-free," it can happen anywhere.

Dear Mr. Obama.

I have a quotation to ask you.

What is the difference between Nasrallah, and the two others Eahmadinejad & kim jong il?

I know, it is a very complicated question for your understanding capability, so, I will help.

The first one still hiding in his bunker, terrifying Israel will put her hands on him.
The two others invited to speech in UN or sign on silly agreements.

It is difficult to comprehend how a UFO like you, became to be the president of the USA.

Oh, do you know how UFO called in Hebrew? OBM.
Well, you are probably the most primitive version, Type A.

I hope the people in Iran do more by taking their concerns to the streets than we did here in America when our Supreme Court, Diebold and religious leaders gave their puppet Bush control. Our country is pretty much in ruins since we sat back and just watched. I hope the same does not happen to them. This is what happens when people allow religious leaders control. Forced submission.

Regardless of the vote count, one would have hoped for a bit more moderation in the Middle East. Politics of fear are great there and people are tending to vote for "protection" or security over practical reason.

Hamas winning elections, Hezbollah winning elections, Bibi winning, and now this guy.

None bode well for peace in the area.

It is obvoius we have a a president that tells everybody just what they want to hear just like in the election. Didn't matter if the two groups opposed each other Obama told them what they wanted to hear to get the votes.

This could be good for Ahmadinejad now that Obama has pledged to uphold his "right" to nuclear technology. I wonder what other "rights" Obama will award the guy. How bout the "right" to massive US Aid? Maybe the "right" to "defend themselves against the bad bad Israelis? As we know Obama is big on "rights".

Where do you people get this trash at? It's amazing the lengths you will go, what you will say harming our nation for no other reason than YOU LOST! That's right! The AMERICAN PEOPLE went out in mass, in RECORD NUMBERS and rejected YOU and this type of Scorched Earth Politics... GET OVER IT!

This puts Obama between a rock and a hard place. He cannot maintain any support for talks with the "Government of Thugs" (Iran). The very fabric of the democratic party is based on freedom and liberalism, or so they say. If they establish relations with the Iranian government, they are doomed to open a can of worm at themselves. They will be blasted by everyone and every free nation, and rightfully so !

Here we are less than 200 days into the Term of the FIRST President we went out and voted FOR in a very long time and we are seeing MORE movement toward Democracy in the Middle East than we did in the entire 8 years of the Bush Administration. Thus we must put up with whiners like this poor fool. How do you figure people like this out? It is OBVIOUS we have a real Statesman now leading our nation and those who backed the Worst President in our History can't accept it. Strange, these people in the Fringe Right, very STRANGE!

In spite of the actual news of the day, the 2000 American Presidential Election will be the defining moment for a generation of young homosexual men and its most minute details with consume their lives until the very last hour.

as i mentioned before in iran there is a group named basiji their population is around 14millions they mostly support ahmadinejad 14million of 45million are basiji and his supporter but in capital tehran which has 10millions population people support musavi the riots all was just in tehran which is comprehensible so it was easy to guess ahmadinejad would be the president but i didnt think he would win with 63%! it really shocked me was it a fraud or not? i dont know i prefer not to judge based on something i read in an american anti iranian site like CBS

The msm makes me sick- in 2 days they have reported more on Iran's bogus election than they ever did with ours. Had the msm been so diligent with the reporting of our own stolen election (s) we may very well have been able to avoid 8 years of our own "reign of terra" and millions would still be alive today. No false flag attacks, no fake crises, no foreign occupation of sovereign nations, no wholesale butchering of the US Constitution etc etc ad nauseum. Its a slap in the face to hear the media even mention another countries elections.

I suggest that all relationships; economic, diplomatic and etc, with Iran must to a complete stop. All free nations must come together. Ahmadinejad MUST GO ! or else, shut down their embassies and stop trading with them. Posted by curiously1

Sry, Major Muslim Nations like the US (according to Obama) don't interfere in the affairs of other Muslim Nations.

Now if we were a Christian Nation (which Obama states we are not) we might consider such action.

If this stands, it would be a sad, sad day for humanity. What you are witnessing is radical Islam at its best !...A bunch of lying,cheating, uneducated THUGS have stolen yet another free election in the Mid-East. The world cannot sit back and tolerate this. I suggest that all relationships; economic, diplomatic and etc, with Iran must to a complete stop. All free nations must come together. Ahmadinejad MUST GO ! or else, shut down their embassies and stop trading with them.

Leading up to voting in Iran, official Iranian News reported a tight race, a race so tight, current Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was seriously worried about losing. Then the votes were counted and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is reported to have won by a Landslide! Iran reports Ahmadinejad got 63% of the total vote and Mousavi got 34% of the vote. The margin of victory for Ahmadinejad is not compatible with reports leading up to the voting and is definitely not compatible with reality. The Iranian Clerics should just skip the Elections and Voting and pick the President outright, and stop getting the World's hopes up with phony elections. The current method of picking the Iranian President outright "with" Elections is an insult to the process and ones common sense. Even if Ahmadinejad really did win and I doubt it, it was not by a Landslide.

You will not see americans rioting in the streets because they have become used to their nanny government protecting them from all of the big bad threats in the world. After all they protected us from ourselves with our seatbelt laws, and our smoking laws, and all the other laws. They gave up their responsibility for themselves to the babysitter(government). If babysitter says it is bad we better not do it. There are not enough free thinkers left to stand up for our rights.

The good people of Iran have to take control of what their true identity should be.

Short of that, they slow the wor'lds potential progress.

C'mon Iran, get in gear.

"Had we done so in 2000"



It amazes me that they graduate imbiciles from high schools when its been recounted by an electoral college and countless body known to man.

Do you blame Bush for having acne on your face too ?
