Thinking before he Speaks
How many of you think that we, as in America , are bullies? Well I will say that I think we have been somewhat of a bully in the past when it comes to other countries. We do not have to always put our noses in another country’s business and definitely not now. We have our own problems to worry about in America with the recession and millions of Americans being without health care just to name a couple of problems.
Obama recently gave a smart response in reference to the current events going on in Iran. We already have the likes of terrorist trying to get us every chance they get and not to mention the tragedy of 911.
Obama is being criticized for his careful choice of words when discussing Iran ’s post election riots. The president advised that he did not want to turn into a scapegoat for Iran . Many of the president’s critics are coming from the Republican party. Some have stated that even European leaders are speaking out more on Iran ’s situation than President Obama. The president made a valid point in a recent interview saying that the US has no idea whether or not the Iranian presidential election was fair or unfair.
In his first formal interview of his presidency, Obama said that he would like for America ’s new administration to have a better diplomatic engagement with Iran .
What’s wrong with the president choosing his words wisely? Just because Obama chose to keep his words to a minimum doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about Iran ’s current situation or supports the undiplomatic way Iranian protesters are being treated.
Let’s remember people, we are not necessarily the world’s most favorite country.
