youtube.com This is pretty funny. Obama's Apology Tour blamed America and the West for everything wrong in the world. His mentor, Jeremiah Wright, told us that "America's chickens came home to roost" on 9/11. But, in the above clip, Obama rejects the notion that Iranians were responding to the West and Western democracy in taking to the streets. I guess we are only responsible for bad things, not thirst for independence and democracy. Bottom line: Obama is so freakin' arbitrary. He can't encourage a plea for democracy in Iran because that would make him seem too much like George Bush. He can only adopt Bush's policies by claiming that he's not adopting them and doing it in secret. In this case, he just wants to prove that he can talk Ahmandinejad into something or another. The Iranian situation is too public for Obama to hide so he did not speak to the Iranian people. That's also why Obama's statement yesterday was written and not delivered by Obama on TV. Can't have the wrong youtube videos out there in the so-called "Muslim World."
