Where in the hell is Obama on Iran? (UPDATED)

The United States has said, continually and repeatedly, that we are friends with the Iranian people, and that we oppose the Islamofascist offal that runs that theocratic regime over there. 

What has Obama said? I read a statement he made on the 20th of March.  I invite you to hit the link and do so as well. 

Then, go and read what George W. Bush said. 

Did you read any condemnation of the Iranian government in the Obama letter to Iran?  Did he delineate any difference between the people of Iran and their government? 

And our State Department said that they “declined to ‘condemn’ the Iranian security forces for their crackdown on street protesters, saying analysts are still assessing the situation.”

And Biden, the Vice-President of the United States, and the supposed holder of foreign-policy gravitas, said that the United States would simply deal with the government that is formed in Iran, as opposed to the one they want. 

No, you frakking idiot. 

What’s missing?  How about a message of support for the Iranian people, who have cast themselves in front of machine guns and thugs in the name of democracy.  Where is the idealism we were told ol’ Hopenchange would bring to Washington?  Where is the support of those thousands who are rising up against the dictators and fascists that have run Iran into the ground?

It’s nowhere in the Obama Administration.  It’s more important to take over car companies, health care, and the tobacco industry.  See, saving the lives of freedom-loving, liberty-yearning people in Iran doesn’t raise tax revenue, or expand government authority in the United States.  It doesn’t forward a proto-socialist agenda.  It doesn’t provide the Left a path to increased political power. 

See, Obama is ready to force the Israelis out of settlements that they built from the mess and waste that the ‘Palestinians’ managed to produce, but he doesn’t have the moral fiber to simply come out and say that he supports freedom over fascism.  That might scramble the rotten eggs that make up his foreign policy.  He’s too busy doing what he has been taught is right his entire life....make peace and concessions to the Muslims, and quit favoring the Israelis.  It’s the thread of understanding he’s been given by the people he has associated himself with....Wright, Ayers, etc....and he’d going to allow Persians to fight and die under the fascist boot instead of voicing his support for their liberty. 

I am afraid our POTUS is lending support to Ahmadinejad’s crackdown by his inability to condemn it. 

UPDATE: Finally, after catching seven types of hell, and being shamed by leftist Euro-leaders who spoke up in defense and support of the Iranian freedom fighters, Obama has spoken.  Michelle Malkin covers it here.
