Iran, Democracy, Obama

So let's be clear.

There were some 'elections' in Iran. About the time the polls closed the results were announced, a landslide victory for the incumbent.

Soon after a lot of people realised that the results seemed not only to be inaccurate but similar. It rapidly became apparent that the man with the most votes lost. The Mullahs had made their decision on who was going to win well before the election was held.

The country that most stands for democracy, the USA, has a President who has kept quiet on the whole matter apart from supporting the results.

In other words this is the first President who is openly not standing up for democracy, yes even Carter was not this bad.
