Enlighten me, as my German is spotty:

From what I understand it was a pronunciation thing:

Kennedy meant: "Ich bin ein Berliner."

" I am a Berliner."

But what he supposedly said, "Ich bin ein Behrliner." means " I am a jelly donut.", of the type popular in Germany at the time.

Si, o no?

KOUROSS ESMAELI: What is interesting about the criticisms that are coming from the right is that it’s been coming primarily from Senator John McCain. The Iranians know Senator John McCain as the man who sang “Bomb, bomb Iran” during the elections of last year. The man holds no credibility as far as supporting Iranians or seeming like he’s got the best interests of the Iranians at heart. And that, for Iranians and for this issue, that discredits him altogether and discredits this whole attack on President Obama.


President Obama’s stand, I think, has been the most sensible, and it’s amazing that the President of the United States is taking such a sensible stand. And that—everyone I’ve talked to in Iran has said the same thing, that we do not need any symbol of Western, especially American, interference in Iran’s internal politics. And the fact that America does not have diplomatic relations with Iran really ties its hand, as far as how far he can go in really supporting Iran. So the only thing they can do is to just scream as loud as they can, which will be immediately used by the Iranian authorities.

I would hope that he would say, " none of our business and definetly not our problem".
More to the point not worth 1 drop of american blood.

Anything would be better then doing what Obama was doing when they shot and killed that 27 year old.

He was out for a walk and was getting an ice cream cone at the time.

Guess his priorities are all screwed up just like his Presidency.

OP- Why not ask Obama to say or do something instead sitting on his hands with cold feet and afraid to make a decision?

Funny to see an Obama supporter asking what would McCain do, almost like you need to ask McCain so you can pass it on to Obama because he does not know what to do.

Someone wake up Obama now from his nap and tell him to read what Ronald Reagan did in 1981, maybe he will learn a thing or two.

Just what exactly should Obama do? Send in our troops? Fire a few missiles? protest to the UN?
I am serious what should or can who do about it?

They wouldn't be doing a single thing differently. I love how they claim Obama isn't going far enough but would be quick to say the opposite if he were to amp up the rhetoric against Iran.

You know... Iran isn't the only place atrocities are taking place. Why should Obama take this on alone. No American politician at any level of responsibility should eat ice cream, go to the movies, go out to dinner, visit a theme park... have sex. Nothing, absolutely no entertainment or diversion because bad things are happening around us. We have got to get the rest of the world straightened out first.
