Regarding the criticism of Obama's silence on the Iranian protesters, there are two opposing views on the position the president should take. One saying that he should openly come out in support of the protesters, the others claiming that nothing should be said in order to be seen as not being involved in the matter.
Perhaps I have a bit of a skewed perspective of it; but here it goes. I don't think he has the strength to comment, since their administration isn't strong enough to take a position and stick with it, right or wrong.
Secondly, since the only transparency that exist with this administration is that we are clearly able to see the double standards, hypocrisy, weakness, contempt, and deliberate attempt to destroy our country and Constitution.
Let us not forget, though the majority of us have been opposed to things like TARP, the stimulus, the bail outs, and socialized health care, we continually have been ignored. Quite the opposite of what he said a government should be doing: "...listening to the voice of the people...." Also, let's not forget who's administration labeled those who assembled to voice opposition to irresponsible government spending, bail outs, and the increasing nation debt as extremists and radicals. Not to mention all the other things we've learned about like the Homeland Security reports.
No, he may not say too much in support of the protesters, and it may be a good move to make at this time. However, sometimes that silence is also not the best position to take. We don't have all the information that those in Washington do, so we cannot always make the best decision. However, this administration has expressed its own position on people openly protesting within it's own country with a severely critical position. So, should something be said by the Hypocrite-in-Chief?
