Liberty Seeking Iranians Bleed in the Street---Obama Gets Ice Cream
In striking contrast today, President Obama and family go for an ice cream in Alexandria, Va while the world is watching Iran from amature video gotten from Iranian citizens risking their lives to get it out. Never mind that the video being smuggled out was of protesters being shot, beaten and burned with acid from above.
I am sure that it was a great father/daughter moment, but since they had to go through a group of protesters outside the White House, it seems like bad timing. I am pretty sure that their chef could whip up some awesome frosty treats without the full suburban parade.
I just see this moment in time as definitive of this President. Lots of talk about wanting to promote change and no balls to carry it out.
What should he do?
1. Call an emergency UN general session meeting. Call for UN pressure on Iran to recognize the Iranian people's right to vote per Iran's own semi-democratic election process.
2. Put out a personal (not written) statement to the Iranian people of our commitment to their rights and commitment to talks with them.
America stands for freedom and liberty. The protesters in Iran are crying for what we take for granted everyday. They do not want to be exactly like the US, they are proud to be Iranian and want to have their voice heard. We can not be the United States of America and ignore this cry. Military is not the answer. Words are much more powerful right now.
President Obama, if you believe in what this country stands for, grab some balls and do something about it. I apologize for disturbing you on your Father's Day weekend, but that is why you get the big bucks!
