What he is going to be known for is passing up a chance to destabilize Iran.
He should have taken advantage of it and supplied arms and ammo and money to those rioters.
Let the meddling begin I say.
The marching in the street thing does not work in a non democracy.
Isn’t it funny that Iran had no qualms about interferring in American interest in Iraq. How many of our soldiers have been killed by arms and bombs supplied by Iran? a bunch
I would not even do this covertly. The policy is and should be regime change.
With the protesters we have a willing group of people to become the foot soldiers in this cause.

Obama a Symbol of Hope in Iran?

Not exactly, but maybe it has occurred to the Iranian people that with Obama, Pelosi, Frank, Rahm & Axelrod running things no one is going to help them so they had better help themselves.

If you have ever been in a situation that seems utterly hopeless and no one is going to save you you had better save yourself. You may summon up courage you never knew you had, survive or perish. In that way – that is the hope he gave them – then yes.

He’d be a powerful symbol… if a nice muslim boy from Kenya can grow up to be POTUS, why not one from Iran? (/sarc)
