The Speech Obama Should Be Giving on the Iranian Election Crisis

Ladies and Gentlemen, The President of the United States-

"Iran is a nation held hostage by a small clerical elite that is isolating and repressing its people, and denying them basic liberties and human rights.

The Iranian regime sponsors terrorists and is actively working to expand its influence in the region. (…) as we confront Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions, we’re also reaching out to the Iranian people to support their desire to be free; to build a free, democratic, and transparent society.

To support the Iranian people’s efforts to win their own freedom, my administration is requesting $75 million in emergency funds to support democracy in Iran.

This is more than a fourfold increase over current levels of funding. These new funds will allow us to expand radio and television broadcasts into Iran (…) so Iranians can organize and challenge the repressive policies of the clerical regime(…)

By supporting democratic change in Iran, we will hasten the day when the people of Iran can determine their own future and be free to choose their own leaders.

Freedom in the Middle East requires freedom for the Iranian people, and America looks forward to the day when our nation can be the closest of friends with a free and democratic Iran."- Which President of the United States said this?

Flopping Aces

Of course our current President hasn't got the courage or the leadership ability to speak the truth without apologies... unlike the man who did speak those words above. Boy, the world could use a man like him now... a leader instead of an appeaser.
