While Iran burns, Obama asks: "Where is my fiddle?"

During the Presidential election, Joe Biden, babbled that President to be, Barack Apology Obama would be tested in his first six months. He implied that Obama, because he was so young, would be tested in the foreign policy area.

So Mr. Obama was elected and he went on his Foreign Apology Tours, apologizing to the world about all the past sins of the United States while forgetting the fact that because of America the world is not entirely run by lunatics. He was played the fool by Ortega and Chavez when he went to Latin America. 
 
Then he went to Egypt, and told the Muslim world that America has sinned but that we love the Muslim world. Then the Iranians hold a bogus election (why wasn't Jimmy Carter counting the ballots?) and Rama-lama-ding-dong is re-elected as the tyrant-in-chief. The 900 year old Ayatollah supports the rigged results and the riots escalated. Thousands of Ayatollian lackies gathered and shouted "Death to America" after the bearded one declared the elections official. I guess they didn't hear Obama's soothing speech to the Muslim world.

And what does the Apologist-in-Chief do? He tells the world that the United States will not "meddle" in Iran's elections. This event was a modest test for Obama. All he had to do was STAND UP and call for free and honest elections and the right for people to protest for a better way of life. We are not asking Obama to send any troops into Iran. All we ask is that he stand up for the principles  of freedom and free, democratic elections. Instead, he wimped out.

Ronald Reagan helped bring down the Soviet Union by telling Gorbachev to "tear down this wall". Lech Walesa gave Ronald Reagan credit for Poland's fight for liberty. Why? Because Reagan publicly supported Walesa and Poland's quest for the simple principles of democracy, human rights, and a civil society, something the ruling loons in the Ayatocracy in Iran have no interest in pursuing.

The difference between a rookie like Obama, who is showing his youth, naivete, and inexperience and Ronald Reagan is simple. Obama views the world through the eyes of a tactical politician-- afraid to p-ss anyone off,  while worrying about the polls and the next election. Then there are leaders who view the world through a moral compass, where the political process is used to defend and further our values. For Reagan it was a moral pursuit to bring down Communism and spread the values of liberty and justice to as many people and countries as possible. 
 
Obama just wants to hang out in the White House, be cool, make a daily speech about another new spending program we cannot afford, while saying nothing about oppression being endured by others. Oppressed people who yearn for freedom used to look to the United States for moral support. It looks like they are out of luck with this President. 

His failure to use the Presidential bully pulpit to give the Iranian people as much support as possible is morally repugnant. There are only a few times during a four-year term when the President must rise above politics and let the world know that there are values worth living, striving, fighting, and, yes, even dieing for.

Mr. Biden, #2, your # 1 gets an "F" on this relatively simple foreign policy test. There was no bloodshed required to stand up to the lunatic rulers in Iran and send a message to the world about the values of freedom and democracy.

When you send a weak message to all the madmen on this earth that we do not want to get involved in peoples' quest for freedom against oppression, you are asking for trouble and then the REAL TEST will begin.
