Like Bush cared when the whole word watched the 2004 election fraud.

You got that right! People from outside this country already, after the Bush Administration, think we're all 6th grade drop outs. These losers do not have the intelligence to think beyond blowing everything up.

You people in the Fringe want another war so bad you can taste it don't you? Yep, we'll be in and out of there in 6 months and hardly any American's will be killed? Wasn't THAT the lie you freaks told us the last time you started this, "Everyone who doesn't support our Extremist Views is a Coward" line? You want a stronger response, saddle up and go do it yourself. This President is doing JUST FINE thank you!

Surely Obama can come up with "weapons of mass destruction" or "axis of evil" or something! Come on, the right wingers are getting a little disappointed!

The news reporting I have read and heard regarding the Iranian elections all smell of propaganda and USA politics. The spread of a rumored stolen election, the call for demonstrations in the streets for the TV cameras, the Iranian government's warning against civil violence is turned into a threat and a reason for violence, Obama spins himself as the world's watchman, the Republicans are quoting Reagan and calling Obama a weenie.

My head is spinning. It is probably good the Iranians have their news media censored and most are spared this assault the news authorities have waged on them. The freedom to sell bad news comes with no guarantee on it being truthful, and the average Joe pays the price with his life because he doesn't question the authority of news reporting. The march to war is always led by propagandists first.

Yeah
The world is watching Tehran. But Americans are watching Obama. They are expecting him to ignore this latest media inspired regime change project and worry imstead about fixing up this country.

Let's remember that despite their political disputes, ordinary and poor Iraninians are not facing foreclosure, declining government services including education and a pay or die health care system. One way or another, things for Iranians seem to be getting better. Their quality of life is improving abnd they even have the money to pursue a nuclear energy option. Yes, they are moving up in the world. On the other hand things seem to be getting worse every day for Americans.

President Obama, please get your priorities straight. This country can't afford another 4 year long mistake.

Perhaps the CBS Coward Squad is home tonight because women find them repulsive.

I am discouraged at times - so many of my countrymen are so stupid, and brainwashed. Obama was elected by a decent margin, considering how divided we are, and still enjoys wide support. He is trying to do something other than lead us to ruin like the Bush administration. We are going broke trying to subdue Iraq and Afghanistan, and now moron rightwingers want us to get involved in Iran's internal problems.

Those that think BO is right on the money need to move to Iran because if this president is not stopped that's what we could become later on. This naked neo marxist is destroying america in everything he says or does and is complete total failure to the outside world. He is someone who obviously doesn't understand what the word "NO" means and lacks the will to act on certain global situations making him appear weak. Just one more reason the democratic socialist party knows their done in 2010 that's why Nancy & Harry are staying silent and out of the picture.
