Pres. Obama who normally makes at least 4 or 5 public speeches per day is uncommonly silent when it comes to what is currently happening in Iran. Meanwhile the French President Sarkozy calls it like everyone else in the world sees it—a bogus election and offers some encouragement to the Iranians who after all only want democratic change:

"The extent of the fraud is proportional to the violent reaction, It is a tragedy, but it is not negative to have a real opinion movement that tries to break its chains,"

"If Ahmadinejad has really made progress since the last election and if he really represents two thirds of the electorate… why has this violence erupted?"

Even weak kneed British Prime Minister Gordon Brown questioned the election and the aftermath:

"The regime must address the serious questions which have been asked about the conduct of the Iranian elections. The way the regime responds to legitimate protests will have implications for Iran’s relationships with the rest of the world in the future."

Also, German, Dutch, Japanese, Czech, and Australian officials chime in with their concerns for the violence against the peaceful protestors.

Meanwhile, the best that Prez Obama can muster is to say that he will not meddle but he is ‘concerned’?:

"I have said before that I have deep concerns about the election. I think that the world has deep concerns about the election."

ODS Expositor: Wow- the Obama Messiah is concerned! Concerned exactly about what? Concerned that this might mess up his plans to sit down and confer with and appease Ahmadinejad?
