One of the Smartest Guys In The Room, once again, on the theocratic thugs' suppression of the Iranian people...
"We call on the Iranian government to stop all violent and unjust actions against its own people," Obama said in a written statement. "Suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away."
One wonders where that last sentence came from. It seems so out of place, so...inartful. Like he's saying, "We want those malcontents to go away as bad as you do, guys, but you're making us all look bad." And the whole thing has the air of saying, "Stop! Or we'll say 'Stop!' again! And that will be followed posthaste by a sternly worded letter to the United Nations sternly urging a sternly worded resolution!" In all seriousness, though we all know exactly what's going to happen here, right? The same thing that always happens when people without guns stand up to people with guns, of course. It's worth asking why Obama and his administration just stand idly by wagging their fingers...
