After days of watching the people of Iran protest the tyranny and oppression that rules their country and their lives, our President has decided to make a statement of support. Bold.
Yes, I understand the theory that we don't want to be seen as "meddeling" in a foreign revolution. But when has it been meddeling for the President of the United States to vocally and vociferously support freedom? When does the President sit by the wayside and watch a people clamoring for justice go unaided or unsupported?
I find it so odd, but so typical of this man, that in his remarks of solidarity with the Iranian people, Obama cited his Cairo speech. "As I said in Cairo, suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away." He thinks very highly of himself. And to an extent, I am sure that he remains somewhat confident that his speech is partly the catalyst for this uprising.
And now we couple this with the fact that in his 2010 budget, Obama has stipped all funding for democracy groups in Iran from the State Department's budget. Maybe it's because of the economic crisis... though if that were the sole reason, one must question the other $3.5+ trillion.
Talk about your empty words. Talk about an empty suit. Talk about an empty man. Obama's thought processes are so alien to any executive thinking and presidential acumen. He is still a community organizing looking to run America like a south side Chicago neighborhood.
