| Obama's press conference on Iran: "Buck-buck-Barack!" |
| 2009-06-23 |
| Prof. Ann Althouse The press conference. He respects the sovereignty and deplores the violence. Major Garrett just challenged Mr. Obama’s tone on Iran, essentially asking why he waited so long to show any outrage and whether he’d been inconsistent. “I don’t think that’s accurate,” the president replies, defending himself. “Track what I’ve been saying. Right after the election I said we had profound concerns about the nature of the election, but that it was not up to us to determine what the outcome is.” And he added, “The United States will not be a foil” for the Iranian government to accuse of meddling. Excuse me. If I may be so bold. I hate to trouble you but.... I don't mean to impose... I'm not interfering... Far be it from me to suggest anything that you might be able to characterize as meddling. I'm no meddler. Not at all. I'm just over here, modestly deploring violence. |

| #2 "And the fact that they are now in the midst of an extraordinary debate taking place in Iran..." Oh so what we’re currently witnessing in Iran is a debate? Thanks for clearing that up for us Mr. President. Perhaps we should describe it as civil well-reasoned discourse - just with a little tear gas, Billy clubs, and water cannons mixed in. Funny how that sniper fire has way of deciding which side wins those types of “debates”. |
