Obama's Missed Moment in History
Presidencies can be made by great moments in time
Franklin D. Roosevelt day that will live in infamy speech; John F. Kennedys inaugural; Ronald Reagans Mr. Gorbachev
Tear down this wall!.
Mr. Obama had that moment
and was completely, absolutely silent.
That moment came this weekend, when Iranian elections and democracy were shown for what they are: a total, utter fraud.
Instead, the Barack Obama White House stayed virtually silent. Actually, that isnt true; it was even worse. What they did was in some way legitimize Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by stating that despite the rigged election, they would still negotiate with him. The White House said that they would negotiate with whomever was their leader
talk about weakness.
And Hillary Clinton gave a weak statement that the election should be honest. Thanks for the profound sentiment, Ms. Clinton. And the State Department press secretary refused to condemn Iranian Security forces that are beating protesters. Mr. Mousavi has said he is willing to pay any cost
and we are silent. Here, this is what the State Department is refusing to condemn: the shooting of a man in the head (please, view this picture with discretion); or the shooting of a young girl by Iranian police
reports are that she is likely to die.
