Today we are hearing the conflicting results in the electon for president in Iran. It is important to remember that no candidate could run in this election without the express approval of the mullahs. In other words, this is not democracy. Instead, it is a selection between two equally odious choices which were made by the theocratic rulers of the Islamic Republic. Policy will not be affected except in minor ways by the outcome.
I was shocked to hear Obama say how pleased the US is with the election. Huh? This man just does not understand. In the Soviet Union, there used to be elections where Stalin was re-elected with 99.99% of the vote. No doubt, Obama wouldhave been pleased with those elections as well. After all, Obama is all about appearances rather than substance. He now wants pay-go which will supposedly prevent budget deficits--this will look good so long as one ignores that 2 trillion of extra budget busting spending that he has already pushed through. the American people are supposed to forget what he did and just look at the appearances. He announces the closing of Gitmo for show, only then to backtrack on all of his supposed core beliefs regarding the war on terror. Oh wait, we can no longer call it a war, that does not look good.
Obama got elected on appearances rather than substance, so it is not surprising that he continues to rely primarily on how things look rather than on the true facts. Sadly, however, for him, the American people will surely wake up and realize that a fantasy will not make things better. Let's hope this happens soon enough to stop Obama before he destroys this country.
