-Ahmadinejad Tells Obama Not to Interfere in Iran

From Fox News:

Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on President Obama on Thursday not to interfere in Iranian affairs after the U.S. president said he was "appalled and outraged" by post-election violence, a news agency reported.

"Mr. Obama made a mistake to say those things ... our question is why he fell into this trap and said things that previously (former U.S. President George W.) Bush used to say," the semi-official Fars News Agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.

"Do you want to speak (with Iran) with this tone? If that is your stance then what is left to talk about," said Ahmadinejad. "I hope you avoid interfering in Iran's affairs and express your regret in a way that the Iranian nation is informed of it."

Are you kidding me? He's going to sit there and kill protestors, and expect the (former) leader of the free world not to say anything? Besides what kind of meddling is he doing? It sure seems that Obama is going out of his way to avoid the situation in its entirety, there was no reason for Ahmadinejad to say anything at all.

In light of President Obama's recently announced Middle East outreach speech to the Muslim community in June, I present to you a reminder of Iran and President Obama's feelings towards Iran and the Muslim world in general." Here is a video addressing the leaders and people of Iran, seeking "honest engagement that is grounded in mutual respect" as Dear Leader so eloquently put it.
