Shocker: Obama State Department Refuses To Condemn Iranian Crackdown On Protesters

Proof • June 16, 2009

Nope hope ‘n change for them, I guess.

State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters Monday that the United States is concerned about allegations of ballot fraud.
Kelly described the U.S. government as “deeply troubled” by the events in Iran, which is a stronger expression of concern than over the weekend when Vice President Biden cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election.
When pressed by a reporter, Kelly declined to condemn the Iranian security forces for their crackdown on street protesters. And he said the U.S. knows too little about the conduct of the election to say for sure whether there was fraud.

And according to the New York Times, as Obama is busy pushing through his government-run solution for the health care “crisis” he didn’t even bother to hold a single meeting or conference call about the “situation” in Iran yesterday.
Just to give you an idea of how a real leader is responding to this, German Chancellor Angela Merkel found time in her schedule to condemn the crackdown as “completely unacceptable.”
Just for the record, I’m not asking my President to send in the Marines or anything. But I do expect the leader of the free world to take the lead in condemning acts of thuggery such as those being perpetrated by the theocratic government in Iran on its subjects. Words mean things. The Presidential bully pulpit is a powerful thing.
President Bush, for all his faults, was exactly right when he said that America should support the aspirations of all free people. Bush meant that. Obama can’t even be bothered to utter a few words of condemnation for a government that not only rigged an election, but is suppressing the protest of that election with violence and murder.

Weren’t you lefties the ones to jump to conclusions about the Florida election and have never admitted that you were wrong.

Don’t forget the libtards who claimed that Diebold had stolen the Ohio election… even though no Diebold’s were used in the Ohio general election.

Liberals are always willing to take a wait and see attitude when it comes to giving our enemies the benefit of the doubt, always willing to immediately attack the US government for every possible imagined wrong done by us.

I’ve always wondered why that is….
Lioncourt

even though no Diebold’s were used in the Ohio general election.

From what I have found is that the Diebold GEMS software was used in about 1/2 of the voting machines in Ohio in 2004.

Do any of you really think the US taking the challengers side in this election will benefit him?
Oswaldo

He definitely ought to recognize election fraud. His campaign was quite good at it.

Election fraud? Isn’t it about time you quit sniffing that stuff? No matter where you go around the world, wherever educated people have been following American political practice, the conviction is that Bush stole the U.S. election in 2000 and that the declining Republican Party, with its last-ditch reverence for such incredibly glaring vaudeville role models like Hannity, Boortz and Limbaugh, has been consistently trying to disenfranchise our left-leaning citizenry or associations with its mindless buffoonery appealing essentially to a minute gullible audience as testified to by the 2008 elections. The world is left absolutely aghast by such head-up-the-butt goings on still observed (Mon Dieu! Mein Gott! Wie kann mann nach amerikanische Intelligenz noch glauben?).

Apparently clueless never saw that the news media conducted a recount and George Bush would have won Florida no matter what

Good point. So let’s just wait intelligently, like Obama, to see what is going on before jumping to seat-of-the-pants conclusions.

I’m not surprised, in fact its perfectly consistent with his past statements. He’s not for individual freedom, he doesn’t stand with those willing to put their life on the line against the state.

No he’s more sympatethic to the state, to the ruling thugs. He’s been coddling Ahmadinejad all along, why would he bail on him now?

We aren’t asking Obama to rule on the election. We are asking him to condemn the violent crackdown by the Iranian thugs.

The Truth:

The maker of touch-screen voting machines used in half of Ohio’s counties has admitted that its own programming error is to blame for votes being dropped in some counties.

The problem can’t be fixed before the Nov. 4 election, so Premier Election Solutions and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner are issuing guidelines to counties for how to avoid the problem.

“We will continue to monitor the situation and provide boards of elections with the instruction and support they need to ensure an orderly and efficient election and an accurate count of Ohioans’ votes,” Brunner said in a memo released today.

Premier, formerly Diebold Election Systems, initially speculated that the problem was a conflict between its system and anti-virus software.

When a majority of the citizens keep taking to the streets protesting against you and your Party, in larger numbers each night, then you did not “win” the election.

Why is it that Obama feels such kinship with Muslim thugs?
bill-tb

I think his kinship comes from being one …

And you DAMNED sure did not “win” in a “landslide”.

How big of you, osmoron! How many innocent Iranians are you willing to imprison and murder in order to “legitimize” your heroes, Ahmadenajhad and the Mad Mullahs. I’m certain they are all honored to suffer and die for YOUR moral superiority. Fucking asshole.
Spartacus

The international crisis are starting to pile up on The One and his reign is scarcely 6 months old. Of course he has no idea how to deal with them except ignore them and â€˜hope’ that conditions will â€˜change’ for the better.

Biden tried to warn everyone.

The Obama Admin is studying the situation in Iran very carefully. They oh, so desperately want to do the same things to American citizens who dissent from their anti-American, anti-freedom decrees.
Spartacus

I doubt that he has a clue either.

I’m with ya on that, it’s just ironic that he said it.

One wonders how bad things must get before the public is aware that Obama is simply a poser.

We aren’t saying to go to war to set Iran’s election where it should have been.

Would it hurt to speak out against the violent crackdown?
