Obama lacks the courage to stand and speak the truth
“Last night I saw upon the stair,A little president who wasn’t there,He wasn’t there again today,Oh,how I wish he’d go away”
The White House is now occupied by a little president who just isn’t there when he is called upon to take a clear,moral stand. For such sheer gutless flabbiness and evasion,you have to look back to the dismal Jimmy Carter years. If Tehran seems quieter today,it’s because the civilian demonstrators have been identified and are being beaten and tortured and maybe killed in Evin Prison. Don’t believe for a moment that the sadistic regime has changed,just because you don’t see people bleeding on the streets. They are bleeding all right. It’s just out of public view.
The Europeans are being Reaganesque. Angela Merkel is morally serious. She stated officially that “Germany stands on the side of the people in Iran who want to exercise their right to freedom of expression and freedom of assembly.”
There. That wasn’t so hard,was it? Ronald Reagan would have said it. Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair would have said it. Barack Obama couldn’t.
