Iran's Leader Did Not Feel A Thrill Up His Leg After Watching Obama's Holiday Video

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is less than impressed with President TelePrompter public outreach efforts thus far.

He mentioned U.S. sanctions against Iran, U.S. support for Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein during his 1980-88 war against Iran and the downing of an Iranian airliner over the Persian Gulf in 1988.

He also accused the U.S. of provoking ethnic tension in Iran and said Washington's accusations that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons are a sign of U.S. hostility. Iran says its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes, like energy production, not for building weapons.

"Have you released Iranian assets? Have you lifted oppressive sanctions? Have you given up mudslinging and making accusations against the great Iranian nation and its officials? Have you given up your unconditional support for the Zionist regime? Even the language remains unchanged," Khamenei said.

Khamenei, wearing a black turban and dark robes, said America was hated around the world for its arrogance, as the crowd chanted "Death to America."

I think it's safe to say Iran's fist is still clinched. Unfortunately I doubt that means Obama isn't devising new and exciting ways to suck up to these bastards in private talks that are no doubt going on or about to start.
