Protests erupt in Iranian capital | Video | Reuters.com
YouTube - Iranians protest against Ahmadinejad, plz send this to everyone. reformists aljazeera al jazeera
These people look plenty pissed off at the election results.
I don't know if the second video is authentic.
It looks to me like these Iranians want change for sure.

Absolutely they do. Sadly, it appears they are a minority.
The hardliners remain in charge.
On a related side note, the Israeli contempt for Obama has likely increased with these results - Obama comes off looking very weak and uncertain - to say nothing of completely naive.
Carter Part II indeed...
I could not help but chuckle at the naive implorations by a few in this forum declaring that Obama was altering the attitude of the Muslim world through a few speeches given in recent weeks.
It is that degree of naivety that is the now-crumbling foundation of the Obama administration. They were elected on the power of speech, so they are now convinced they can actually govern by that same power - that words in essence, are more critical than actual results.
So, while Obama's personal popularity remains high, his job approval has fallen, particularly in the categories of handling the economy, government spending, and taxes. The reality of the time is now in stark contrast to the lofty rhetoric of Obama's so often contradictory words.
And now with the overwhelming victory by Iranian Muslim hardliner President Ahmadinejad in Iran, re-elected by well over 60% of the population (a far more statistically significant victory than Obama's own victory in the United States last year) we see Obama's impotence with the American economy now extending to foreign policy.
The Obama White House is a place of increasing uncertainty. The community organizer turned President struggles for a coherent message - particularly when removed from the safety of his teleprompted script. The economy continues to stagnate, and a tide of opposition grows against his health care plan, where more moderate Democrats are now quietly backing away from the White House for fear of being attached to its quite possible legislative failure.
And so, this White House continues its campaign of words-words-words, but fewer and fewer and fewer care to listen, with a hint of fomenting contempt against this overly scripted and verbose President beginning to accumulate across America.
The vast majority of Iranian people are not impressed with Obama.
Perhaps it is that one thing which the Iranians and the American people wil sooner rather than later, have in common.

Oy. Another retarded article that assumes that the election was free and fair.
i have nothing to add to this piece of shit thread. it is the mirror of the "obama effect" thread. same shit different side.
i said what i had to say in this other thread, this one deserves only ridicule.

Who's blaming Obama for this? I am not. The point was we had a couple of you guys actually calling the election--2 days before it happened--& giving credit to Obama for a wishful thinking win.
Does mean you should run away from this thread? No--it's designed--to give you a little history lesson the middle east--instead of thinking that because a new President was elected 6 months ago--everything is going to change for the better.
Sorry friend--I have been around way to long to know that never happens in the middle east--regardless of who the POTUS is.

Good point.
The arrogance of those posts in here mirrored the arrogance of the Obama White House regarding this issue leading up to these elections.
Obama continues to show, as someone else indicated, a dangerous naivete.
And his impotence with foreign policy mirrors his impotence with our own American economy. (that is, unless it is his desire to further weaken said economy - for which Obama must then be deemed a much greater success...)
Try not to make shit up, eh? It makes you look even stupider than you normally do.
The article on the original of this thread--states that the majority for Wassawi came around the capital of Tehran--the outlying areas came in heavily for Amenajenadad.As I have posted hear often, my impression is that The Prophet has undertaken a counter propaganda campaign. It may or may not work, whole or in part. He is in a unique position to attempt it.
The Prophet's public execution of this has been poor so far and has already caused him to lose support in the US across parties. For that reason and his apparent assumption that all these savvy, crooked, megalomaniacal savages will fall into his thrall, I believe his initiative will fail no matter how it is spun. Would love to be wrong.
What is clear is that his trip to the Middle East, his silly invitation for Iranians to celebrate the 4th of July with him - was timed during the lead up to these elections.
The Obama administration likely thought the elections were almost certain to go a different way, and thus, attempted to position the teleprompter in such a was as to make it appear he helped usher in a new era in Iran.
What has actually happened is, Obama gave a series of speeches that few paid attention to (his speeches all sound alike these days, and thus, bore the hell out of people) and the Iranians threw their support behind the more, not less, extreme anti-American candidate.
Obama failed - BIG TIME.
So its your position that the Iranian election was free and fair?

Hmm.. Who possibly thinks that the election was "free and fair"? Obama paid 700 million dollars for the Whitehouse so it certainly wasn't free and given the biased press and Black Panthers with billy clubs hanging out at polling places, I'm not sure we can say it was fair either

You can't be serious.
Let's go around the world and adjudge all elections, far or foul, as referenda on Obama.
Talk about inward-looking, narcissistic, America-centered myopic claptrap.
