President Obama’s June 23rd Press Conference

“First, I’d like to say a few words about the situation in Iran. The United States and the international community have been appalled and outraged by the threats, the beatings and imprisonments of the last few days.  I strongly condemn these unjust actions, and I join with the American people in mourning each and every innocent life that is lost.”

Some may argue that this is a hypercritical examination of his words – but he is VERY particular about the words he uses.  He only uses the first person to join in mourning the loss of life.  He does not ascribe his personal outrage to the beatings and murders in Iran.   Why?

With today’s Honduran coup all he can muster is “deep concern”.

“I am deeply concerned by reports coming out of Honduras regarding the detention and expulsion of President Mel Zelaya.”

“WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG” Mr. President? 

Freedom is crumbling around the world while America meekly looks away.
