Krauthammer is right on the money. Did Obama really “speak favorably of ‘some initial reaction from the Supreme Leader that indicates he understands the Iranian people have deep concerns about the election.’”? If so, he’s an even bigger POS than I thought. He’s bending over backwards to try to find a way to praise the mullahs.

I understand the dangers of “meddling.” If the protests are seen as stirred up by the U.S., that would kill their momentum, and the whole thing would fizzle. But mere words of support for the protesters do not constitute meddling.

Obama has made it clear why he’s acting as he is. He doesn’t have a problem with Iran’s support for genocidal terrorists, terrorists whom Obama himself embraces. He doesn’t have a problem with Iran’s desperate quest for nuclear weapons. He’s merely slightly miffed by the holocaust denial thing. Far from seeing a potential Iranian counterrevolution as a watershed moment in history, he sees it as a potential obstacle to the meeting with the mullahs that he dreams of having. Shame on him.
