Your fatuous comparison between evangelical Christians and Iranian Muslims would be funny if not so deadly.

Please see planck’s 12th Imam

Where was the flag in the background?

Looked like a hostage video to me.

The problem with progressives is that they never met an evil that they didn’t want to appease. Consider the fact that in Iran, you can be imprisoned for blogging. And do you know what happens in Iranian prisons? If you answered “you die……

Loved the speech, he had me at the part about “mutual respect”, would that be mutual respect for big thingys that go boom and poison the earth (kinda like carbon emissions) or perhaps mutual respect for human rights, or freedom and democracy or what??

Pathetic. I don’t think one has to be Kissinger to recognize that you have to make sure behind the scenes that such overtures are in fact welcomed before going public with it.

Sounds almost like Obama’s guilty of sexual harassment against Ahmadinewackjob.

Obama offers a friendship message and speaks of the carrots in an outreach without publicly mentioning the sticks.

Wasn’t it Tehran that objected to this language, in that it implied they were jackasses? (I’m not making a joke here: somebody did, and I think it was Iran.)

If we’re dropping the sticks altogether, that’s definitely a problem.

Therein lies the rub. Any bets on whether Obambi actually knows how to carry a stick? Yea, yea, the speak softly part, he has that down pat. The stick part, I don’t really think so.

it is your demonstrated ability to build and create

Apparently, Mr. President, Harvard owes you your money back.

Last week the US government deported a Nazi war criminal…to Austria. The guy, Josias Kumpf, 83, is a free man today because he cannot be prosecuted under Austrian law.

Prosecute an 83 year old for charges against a 19, or younger, year old?

Hoorah!

Peace in our time!

….wait a minute…that sounds kinda familiar. Oh well its probably not important.

Neville Chamberlain he would never emulate
As he thinks that he thought too small and gave too little too late

All you will need is a prayer mat…

As for twisted Islam, its messianic nature mirrors that of evangelical christianity.

Wrong.

If their messianic views of the end of the world worry you, shouldn’t it worry you when evangelical christians who also feel Jesus is coming in their lifetime hold levers of power?

Again, wrong. You obviously don’t understand Christian prophesy. You’re being brain washed by the media.

The United States wants the Islamic Republic of Iran to take its rightful place in the community of nations. You have that right —

Here we go again with rights…like the right to other peoples money, the right to own a home, the right for illegals to receive all manner of benefits, the right of terrorists to enjoy constitutional protections. The Iranians via their actions and rhetoric have earned nothing but condemnation and scorn and are very fortunate to have survived this long! Obama’s liberal moral relativity and utopian immaturity are destroying this country right before our eyes. I as a taxpayer and patriot have the right challenge his policies and work to remove him from office.

All Hail this POTUS

Charles Lemos, at MyDD, argues that Presient Barack Obama’s “Message to the Iranian People” marks the beginning of an “Obama Doctrine” …

It wasn’t clear how many Iranians were able to see the video, which was not aired on state television in Iran on Friday. It was likely shown on Farsi-language TV stations beamed in from outside of the country, but many Iranians don’t watch television in the first days of long Nowruz holiday that is normally filled with family gatherings or vacations away from home.

Maybe the WH could send over some Region 1 DVDs?
