Hope....Change......Don't Question the Messiah

i think gibbs was being sarcastic with the robot remark.

conservative columnist george will called right-wing attacks on obama's iran response "foolish criticism" on abc's this week (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZolNlmmp58I):

The president is being roundly criticized for insufficient, rhetorical support for what's going on over there. It seems to me foolish criticism. The people on the streets know full well what the American attitude toward that regime is. And they don't need that reinforced. Furthermore, there is an American memory of encouraging things like the Hungarian revolution in 1956, with rhetoric about rolling back communism, we had balloons float in and drop medals with the statue of liberty on it and leaflets...came the crunch that there was nothing we could do about it.

[yeahwho]

Anything Obama says will be criticized by the Iranian regime and by the Republicans — and for pretty much the same reasons.

His response thus far has been nuanced and pragmatic, the hallmarks of his style which the willfully ignorant choose not to understand and the truly ignorant cannot understand. Fortunately, neither of those groups are still in power.
