The Obamanation

[classicman]

OBAMA: Niko, I know that you and all across the Internet, we've been seeing a lot of reports coming directly out of Iran. I know that there may actually be questions from people in Iran who are communicating through the Internet. Do you have a question?

QUESTION: Yes, I did, but I wanted to use this opportunity to ask you a question directly from an Iranian. We solicited questions on tonight from people who are still courageous enough to be communicating online. And one of them wanted to ask you this: Under which conditions would you accept the election of Ahmadinejad? And if you do accept it without any significant changes in the conditions there, isn't that a betrayal of -- of what the demonstrators there are working to achieve?

Of course Obama knew he had a question - It was set up beforehand. Niko was escorted to a nice seat by the deputy press secretary Josh Earnest. I'm sure all the members of the press get escorted to their seats - puhlease.

I believe he was standing at the back of the room.

So he was invited to ask a question from Iranian protesters because he has been in contact w/the protesters more than most reporters.

Outrageous!!!!!

WHO GIVES A FUCK?

This is why I quit posting in politics, though you've said "how come no one ever wants to argue politics anymore?" This is the most stupid inconsequential thing you could have possibly dredged up.

But don't get snippy when I do respond to it, to tell you it's stupid.

You don't have a response to any of it, just regurgitating a political blogger who is posing (YES POSING...how's that for honesty/transparency?) as a concerned person "in the know." Redux is right, it's a non-issue and you have no reason for posting it except to pretend like you can say "I told you so."
