Wolfie ringing his hands : "Shouldn't Obama make a speech about the Iran Election & rioting?

[elehhhhna]

WHEN IS WOLF GOING TO LEARN?

Nobody complained when it took Bush 3 days per event to sober up and make an inane, uniformed comment?

[Dappleganger]

1. Fortunately for him

our President is full of restraint.

[Thrill]

2. And of course. If Obama would have said something over the weekend. They would be saying

Should the President be interfering with Elections in other countries?

He must have missed what Obama told Ed Henry at that Press Conference

[magellan]

3. I like that Obama hasn't commented too much about Iran

...other than to acknowledge the very serious situation there. It's the smart move.

Bush** OTOH would have taken this opportunity to spread more "democracy".

[joeybee12]

4. NO, Absolutely not! We should not be seen as trying to influence their

election...Iranians still recall how we installed the Shah and meddled before and doing something like what Wolf suggests would not help the opposition at all and would damge any attempt to get at the truth.

[monmouth]

6. Isn't it amazing that Wolfie, supposedly a political person would be

so out of touch and tone deaf as to what the proper response(s) should be? Who did he know to get that job?

[joeybee12]

7. Yeah, does Ted Turner like to do it with Old, Fat, Bearded Men?

Someone in his position should have at least an inkling as to why our relationship with Iran has been "troubling" and that Obama is doing exactly the right thing.

5. The Cairo speech raised expectations.

Fairly or not, he's now seen as a player instead of a spectator, and silence doesn't fit the new narrative.

[Arkana]

8. We've got our sticky fingers in enough sticky pies in the Middle East.

Iran's got to sort its own shit out for now. We CANNOT interfere. Not for ANY reason.

[Fuzz]

9. Something like "Bring 'em on?"

[C_U_L8R]

10. Obama is doing the right thing

and what's not being said says a lot

[killbotfactory]

11. We should bomb them now while they are distracted!

That will drive up some ratings and satisfy the repubs!
