Grow up! Most people who are poor are poor because they made poor financial choices. Whether that means they overloaded 15 credit cards when they were 18 or they took out a loan they couldn't pay back today, they still demonstrated a lack of financial reponsibility. How is it fair that those of us who have managed our money responsibly should have to pay for their lack of responsibility? |

Re: GOP Congressman Say Obama's Hesitance on Iran Responsible for Violence
Frankly, I don't understand what people (Reps/Conservs) expect President Obama to do about the Iranian presidential election. They make it seem like our president has such great influence over another country's electoral process. We don't!
Moreover, it's not like whatever we (the U.S.) says is going to change the vote count nor should it. It's like this, folks... We speak of democracy, but it would be very hypocritical of us to get involved in another country's electoral process. And it's not like any other country came to our aid during the 2000/2004 presidental elections. Some may have been very concerned over who the next U.S. president would be just so they'd know who they had to deal with for the next four years, but that was it. Ironically, the world now finds itself in that same position...in "waiting" mode. The situation unfolding (barely) before our eye in Iran is substaintually different. What you have here is social, political, religious but above all human rights issues all changing, all evolving in Iran at the same time. How does one on the outside looking in step into that w/o fully understand how events will unfold? I think our president has done the right thing on this matter to date. He has condemned the violence from the beginning and he has cautioned on the possibility of voter fraud. What more can he say on these two key issues w/o risking further hampering international relations between the U.S. and Iran, i.e., the Iranian government (and its religious leaders) blaming the U.S. for insighting the violence in their own country further damaging U.S./Iranian relations? This is one of those issues you ultimately have to let play out before you can really do anything other than highly suggest a full recount* and condemn the violence. *A full recount is something I'm sure many people want the President to come out and state, but honestly if he were to make such a statement it would wrongfully feed the perception that the U.S. is "meddling" in the electoral process of a foreign country, and that's NOT something this country should give any ammunition towards. Condemn the violence, but that's it. All the world can do is hope that the demonstrations push the Iranian government into calling for a full recount at the very least; and at the most that their ideology changes to listen to the voice of their people more. |
