McCain: Obama needs to get tougher on Iran

[Jiro]

Bill Maher who voted for Obama said -

This is not getting the job done, and this is not what I voted for.

This why I don’t want my President to be a TV star. Because TV stars are too worried about being popular and too concerned about getting renewed.

Oh, you can relax about that one, Mr. President. The party is doing everything it can to ensure you’ll get re-elected…the Republican party.

Speaking of the Republicans, if you can’t shove some real reform down their throats now, then when? Folks, Barack Obama needs to start putting it on the line in fights against the banks, the energy companies and the health care industry.

I never thought I’d say this, but what he needs in his personality, is a little George Bush. … He needs to stop worrying about being loved, and bring out that smug, insufferable swagger that says ‘Suck on it, America!’

George Bush had horrible ideas — torture, deregulation pre-emptive wars, tax cuts for the rich — but he pushed them through in their full measure. Never mind the Congress or the Constitution…the Geneva Convention…Magna Carta…Hammurabi’s Code…the point is, he didn’t care if it made him unpopular with every human on the planet not named Cletus or Fred Barnes. Which it did.

And what we need to do, is to marry the good ideas that Barack Obama has, with a little bit of that Bush attitude, that certitude. I’d love it if Obama came out one day and said “Jesus told me to fix healthcare!”.

In conclusion, Bush was bad. But he never cared if he was seen out in a restaurant having a burger with Dick Cheney. If he wanted a burger, he picked up the telephone and said “I’m the President, bring me a burger!” … And they would say, “Sir, this is NORAD. Would you please stop ordering burgers into the red phone?”

I’m glad Obama is President, but the ‘Audicity of Hope’ part is over. Right now, I’m hoping for a little more audacity…

"Get off TV and Get to work!"

It's not only McCain who complain but it's also several (D) complain that Obama need to be tougher, not being pussy.

 

[Hear Again]

comparing McCain's experience and background to Obama.... methinks McCain's "advice" is worth

Try a "grain of salt."

 

[Frisky Feline]

I don't pay attention to Obama on news lately but all i see him, as Obama the center of attention. anyway, did obama say anything about IRAN?

 

[Jiro]

Try a "grain of salt."

I don't understand what you mean. Contrary to your belief - you should try listening to what many Iranians are clamoring for - including Iranians living abroad and in America. and my Iranian friend as well.

 

[Hear Again]

Jiro,

Why should I listen to the Iranians? Nothing will ever change. It's the same thing year after year.

because we continued to support them... which is why Iran continues to go thru several revolutions. McCain is telling Obama to support Iranians to gain their freedoms from this corrupted, oppressive government.

Apparently - you do not wish to help them. With your logic - we should not help Darfur either.

 

[Beowulf]

Maybe McCain has a whole staff twittering their thumbs to the bone over Iran, lol.

 

[Hear Again]

We should help Darfur, but not Iran.

 

[Liebling:-)))]

We should help Darfur, but not Iran.

Right

 

[Liebling:-)))]

No, the Iranian election is a matter for the Iranian people. It is up to them to elect their leadership, not us.

Obama is doing exactly as he should. It is not up to the U.S. to interfer in another country’s election.

I am appalled at the people that think Obama is not doing enough and think it´s okay for US Government to jump into another country´s electional affairs. …

Obama did is correct.

Bill Maher´s advice is wrong.

It would make US look fool themselves as bully, bluntly, and childish, a school playground foreign policy. This is an exact immature behavior in foreign policy.

You compared Darfur war with Iranian´s electional affair? :scratch:

Now, I'm surprised that you never understand about their long history of anti-America that threat to us, their supreme leader is anti-America and you need re-learn about what happen during hostage crisis in 1979, warfare on between Iran and Iraq and US embassy bombing in Beirut in 1983, that is part of support by first supreme leader. Now, you stated that you work for American military and there's no excuse for you to tell us to ignore over anti-America remark in Iran and other middle east, you should resign your job and find different job because you don't have any sorry over anti-American remark, we shouldn't funds our taxes for your terrible comment.

It's up to US government if they need help with Iranians, none of your business and Germany is your homeland and you need worry about Germany.

You really have no idea what you are saying.

You are upset over Iranian President´s anti-American comment? :scratch: I thought you support freedom of speech, don´t you? His anti-american doesn´t kill or threat anyone but their bitter talk.

This is none of your business, too. This is Iranian people´s business, not yours.

Okay, It was okay for US to support brutal diactor Saddam to use chemical weapons on Iranian citizens due Iraq-Iran war, especially since he got them from the US during the Reagan administration?

I can say anything what I know... If you don´t like foreigner´s comment then this forum is not right for you.

No, you have no idea what are you talking.

whatever :roll:

I´m sorry that you don´t like that I know too much about US and other countries. Foreign policy is very open everywhere here in Germany... We are allow to say what we think. Ít´s bad that you don´t like it.

Don't ask me because it's part of Reagan admin and he can support Saddam whatever he want.

What are you talking about foreigner's comment that I don't like and forum isn't right place for me? You are wrong and I have free to criticize your comment and I said you don't have much knowledge over between US and Iran in past.

You don't make any sense about your foreign's comment and I don't said you have much knowledge, even I considered you as to have least knowledge over situation with between US and Iran.

No thanks, you are supposed to be neutral over between US and Iran, it's not part of your business about situation with between Iran and US, also it's not same as between Germany and Iran.

I'm talking about between Iran and US, not others.

huh? did you know Bill Maher is not talking about Iran? Re-read my post.

It would make US look fool themselves as bully, bluntly, and childish, a school playground foreign policy. This is an exact immature behavior in foreign policy.

McCain is wrong.


You compared Darfur war with Iranian´s electional affair? :scratch:

what comes out of the President's mouth is not a form of free speech like regular citizen. He speaks for the country, not himself.
