Even Democrats Thought Obama Too Timid

Representative Mike Pence (R-Ind), chairman of the House Republican Conference (along with Democratic Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Howard Berman of California) introduced H. Res. 560, which expressed clear support for the Iranian demonstrators and condemned the violence against them by the Iranian regime.

In a show of real bipartisan support for the people of Iran and against the timid liberal Barack Hussein Obama the House voted on Pence’s resolution and it passed by 405-1. It was a major break with liberal Obama by the Democrats.

Before Representative Pence’s resolution, the liberal timid Obama had said almost nothing about the Iranian regime’s repression of the demonstrators and its insistence -- as Ayatollah Khamenei said -- that the supposed re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was “a blessing.”

At their Friday presser, talking about the Iran resolution, the Republican leaders shamed Obama. Recalling Ronald Reagan’s momentous Berlin Wall speech, Pence derided those such as Obama who said we should remain silent because we didn’t want to be meddling in Iran’s affairs.

Representative Pence said, “Some observers say that America should remain silent in the wake of extraordinary violence and repression that has dominated the airwaves of the world from Iran in the last week. But I say, from my heart: the American cause is freedom. And in this cause the American people will never be silent.”

Representative Tom Price (R-GA) said, “I stand with men and women who understand that liberty is enduring and that tyranny is temporary. The United States is a beacon of freedom in the dark corners of the world. Think about history: Alexandr Solzhenitsyn and the Gulag, Lech Walesa in Poland. Once they gained their freedom, they talked about the uplifting effect of the words coming from the United States defending their liberty and defending their freedom. Now should be no different.”

After Representative Pence introduced the House resolution, Senators. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) introduced a parallel resolution in the Senate, which also passed.

Finally the timid liberal Obama has made a more harsh statement regarding Iran.  After the death toll is known to be 18 or more. Even with the tougher statement liberal Obama hedged by saying, "It was too soon to tell how potential direct contact between the United States and Iran will be affected by the recent events."
