Obama provides weak response to N. Korea and Iran

There has been a lot of global happenings this past week. Iran recently had an election where the current president received the popular vote. But with that popular vote, there are calls of corruption and that the vote was tainted. Currently, Iran is trying to define itself and figure out how to handle the problem. How does Obama respond? He doesn’t want the US to appear as meddling in the affairs of Iran. The problem is that was not the appropriate response. As stated by the writer at www.stoptheaclu.com
From yesterday
But at the same time, Obama said it would not be helpful if the United States was seen by the world as “meddling” in the issue.
Iran accused the United States on Wednesday of “intolerable” meddling in its internal affairs, alleging for the first time that Washington has fueled a bitter postelection dispute. Opposition supporters marched in Tehran’s streets for a third straight day to protest the outcome of the balloting.
Looks like President Neophyte is getting school (yet again) on how foreign affairs works. Maybe now he will step up and call for freedom, openness, fairness, etc? Oh, sorry, that was me just dreaming a bit.
Obama is new and he’s learning on the job. This is what we don’t want or need as president. He is a disgrace. Now this morning we hear that North Korea has plans to fire a missle in the the direction of Hawaii. While the missile has a range of 4000 miles and Hawaii is 4500 miles away, that is not acceptable.   Obama doesn’t make any comment. He can only “hope” that North Korea will return to the “talks”.
What would another country do? Let’s take Israel. They wouldn’t put up with it. They’d launch their F-16′s to take out the launch site and anything else that threatened them. How about the US? We stay quiet and hope that we one day will grow a back bone. Obama is the leader of the United States and he has done nothing with regard to North Korea. He has done noting in regard to Iran. He is sitting there hoping things will get better on their own.
