I don't have time to read the whole thing right now, but I thought the first page was pretty good.

The bigger question is: Why does Obama feel the need to use July 4th as his playground? Is nothing sacred anymore? The symbology here is actally a little disturbing instead of encouraging. As if Independence Day in America will resonate with Iranian leadership. I'm not sure who he's trying to fool, but Obama choosing July 4th is about as bad as Pat Buchanan choosing "Born In the USA" as his favorite song during his presidential campaign. People saw right through that and the eye-rolling began. Will the Iranians attend? I highly doubt it.
Well, Born in the USA is actually a song critical of US policies so it was an ironic choice. Why are you disturbed that Obama would invite an autocratic regime to celebrate the most visible expression of freedom? To me, the symbolism is perfect.

I watched when this question was asked and a little bit more and thats it. he was combative and was getting upset with the questions. Thats when I turned it off.

Those of us who actually do know who he is are still scratching our heads. Americans are extremely gullible.

Guess you dont think he would lie or could lie. Yeah see when the media doesnt ask you anything seriously about your life that wouldnt be so hard.

Did they once ask Hey Mr Obama why wont you release your college transcripts or why are you asking for McCain and others to release their health records but you wont.

No they didnt so see when the media is in your pocket getting elected would be rather easy
