I have to say seeing Obama reach out to Iran with the teleprompter is one of the worst and most arrogant things I have seen him do yet. It looks to me like Obama figured he would give one of his patented teleprompter speeches and that Iran would just turn over like the American public and go “okay lets vote for change”. 

Let’s not forget the past of Iran 30 years ago. This isn’t some distant memory, it is to Iran it’s celebrated present. The events of 1979 and the take over and kidnapping of the US embassy are a basis for the present situation, not something Iran is ashamed of and wants to change. Americans may want hope and change but Iran figures they got theirs 30 years ago and their leaders are quite happy with what they got. Some of the Iranian people may not like their leaders, so if anything we need to be supportive of them but we also need to not be naïve. Obama or not America unfortunately has a history of backing countries for our short term interests rather than our long term goals.
