| Meddling? I'll show you meddling... |

| Jonah Goldberg, National Review The Iranians are accusing Obama of meddling even though Obama says he doesn't want to meddle. It seems this offers a great opportunity for Obama to meddle! How about giving a serious speech or statement in which he says something like: The government of Iran has accused the United States of America of interfering in their domestic affairs. I wish to forthrightly deny this accusation. America has not intervened on the part of the heroic forces of reform and democracy as they daily risk their lives in their noble struggle. The United States of America is sincere in its desire to open a new era of franknes and cooperation between our two great nations. Therefore we will work with the unelected government currently in power which is brutalizing its own people as the whole world can see. And we will gladly work with the heroic people of Iran as they struggle against daunting odds for a better life for themselves and their children should they succeed in their peaceful Jihad for justice. I'm only partly joking. It seems to me that Obama is a master of passive aggressive rhetoric. We certainly saw that skill on ample display during the primaries and general election. Why not use it on the international stage as well. Only problem is that Obama would probably leave off the last sentence. |

| #2 A suggestion, more in character, if I may. The government of Iran has accused the United States of America of interfering in their domestic affairs. I wish to forthrightly apologize for this interence. |

| #1 The mullahs have to be nervous that Obama may yet come out strongly for the opposition in Iran. He is very good at doing 180 degree turns on important issues. I'm impressed that we have both conservations and SF loonies coming together in support of the Iranian people. It's a rare kum-bi-you moment(I really have no idea how to spell it). Wouldn't it frost a bunch of people if Sarah Palin and the dopey SF mayor would hold a rally together for the Iranian people. |
