Lovin' Tyrants: Obama Says Iranian Non-Election Won't Alter US Policy

Won't matter one whit.

President Obama told CNBC on Tuesday that the US is not in danger of overregulating the economy and that the outcome of the Iranian election will not make that much difference in his adminstration's policies toward that country.

As for the disputed presidential elections in Iran, Obama said it won't make that much difference to the US what the eventual outcome is.

"The difference in actual policies between Ahmadinejad and Moussavi in terms of their actual policies may not be as great as advertised," he said. "I think it's important to understand that either way we are going to be dealing with a regime in Iran that is hostile to the US. We have long-term interests in not having them with nuclear power and funding terrorism."

Unbelievable. The resisters in Iran cry out for support -- even mere support of the moral kind -- and Obama gives them the finger. He's Ahmadinejad's boy and he's not changing that for nobody.

In the interview, he also blames Bush for the interventions in the formerly capitalist economy of the US, and also claims the exploding deficits "keep him up at night."

Funny. He seems well-rested to me.
