Iran’s President “I’m-A-Nut-Job” Smacks Down President Obama
 
President Obama’s neophyte view of the world just got the expected slap in the face from the violent radicals of Iran:
US President Barack Obama’s offer to talk to Iran shows that America’s policy of “domination” has failed, the government spokesman said on Saturday.”This request means Western ideology has become passive, that capitalist thought and the system of domination have failed,” Gholam Hossein Elham was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.
“Negotiation is secondary, the main issue is that there is no way but for (the United States) to change,” he added.
After nearly three decades of severed ties, Obama said shortly after taking office this month that he is willing to extend a diplomatic hand to Tehran if the Islamic republic is ready to “unclench its fist”.
Since Obame and the liberal day dreamers did not listen to conservatives when we warned them not to take a tambourine to the war on terror (I’m fairly sure Iran doesn’t know how to sing Kumbaya), the big question is whether President Obama got the message this time? Well Barack – can you hear them now?
Still willing to talk and listen to them? And obey them?
I wonder if Obama’s advisers run down scenarios of how words will be taken by others.
This is a chronic failure with western post modernism. It assumes that everything is relative, there is no right and wrong..only different points of view. People like Obama make the mistake of believing that if they extend a hand to the bad guys, then the bad guys will realize it is in their own best interest to respond in kind.
Meanwhile the bad guy is sitting there laughing at you.
The Iran-White House backchannels are saying:
“Just ignore the rhetoric, all will be ok as our plans coincide.”
I wrote about this a few days ago, too.

The President of Iran is a demagogue who needs an enemy.
He doesn’t want friends. He is going to depict conciliatory gestures as weakness.
Obama is the one who doesn’t listen.
It isn’t just Iran that is sensing a weak US administration. North Korea has made all its agreements with South Korea “null and void” sensing there is little a US administration will do about it.
It is pretty much free play for all the world’s despots at this point. They don’t think Obama has much stomach for confrontation or much backbone.
It’s Jimmy Carter all over again.

he doesn’t. is there a question about that?

Actually much worse. Jimmy Carter didn’t think he was smart and got played as a fool.
Obama ‘thinks’ he is smart and has gotten fooled anyway.
And to top it all off, Obama jsut told the Pentagon to squeeze $50 billion out of the Defense budget.
With the country at war.
That’s right. Lets cut back on the military and postal service so we can ladle borrowed money out to ACORN, and all the other radicals who supported the Dems by hook or crook. ACORN and other national dissident organizations have one goal, “To unite all dissident groups and empower them to overthrow the government.” And on our dime no less. Over half the American people are truly stupid.
“The President of Iran is a demagogue who needs an enemy.”
It isn’t the current President of Iran, this has been going on for decades. It is a strategic policy of the government of Iran that spans the various administrations of individual Presidents. The idea is to focus the people’s attention outwards on us as some kind of bogeyman. This causes them to be more tolerant of “sacrifice” and not be so demanding for improvements in their quality of life. Rather than blame their own government for lack of progress, they place the blame on whoever is the President of the US.
