John and the rest of the repubs need to shut up and let the president do his job . and Iran will move forward toward freedoms of the people
we wish and hope they do . so again shut up John we don't need to getinto another war

President Obama is smarter than McCain. He had the common sense to stay out of the Iranian election mess. We Americans must understand that we cannot bully other nations into doing what we want them to do unless we quadruple the size of our military force and spend all of eternity at war with those who refuse to obey us. We must let other nations go about their business as long as they are not a threat to us. We can't force democracy on everyone. Get a clue John.

THis from the man who chanted 'bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" ?

John McCain came from a military family and has it branded in his brain that the United States needs to be at war with someone all the time. He would have run to Georgia during the presidential campaign when Georgia and his friend were at odds with Russia. You could tell from what he said that he wanted us to confront Russia on behalf of his buddy there in Georgia. Constant wars keeps the military in business, but it isn't good for America,

Obama did exactly what he should have done. If we took the GOP approach we would wind up with another Iraq on our hands..No thank you. Anytime these guys open their mouths, they continue to prove to me how dangerous they really are. They have no desire for the well being of America, the only thing they care about is power. Personally, after watching fox news the other day where they had some right wing nutjob begging for a terrorist attack so they could implement their policies, I have decided I will NEVER support another Republican.

John, just last year you were all "Bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran" and now you are so concerened for their citizens?

Look here, we need to concentrate on first extricating ourselves carefully out of Iraq and Afghanistan and worry about the United States citizens for a change. WE ARE NOT THE WORLD'S POLICE.

And what makes you think we have any credibility to even talk about their affairs anyway (especially from a human rights perspective)? We overthrew their elected govt in 1953, Iran-Contra, "Axis of Evil" talk, Gitmo, illegal war, and Bush-era torture earns us a big cup of "shut the heck up."

Once again John, I know you are a warmonger and love a good fight, so if you want to make war on something, make war on the health insurance companies, our oil dependence, corrupt Wall Street, etc. by favoring healthcare reform, a rational energy policy, and Wall Street regulations respectively. Lets deal with America's problems. Ok?

Hey McCain, where have you been?

Last I heard from you you were rewiring Radio Free Europe.

I saw your photo. Looks like you have a bad case of gas.

President Obama handled Iran very well. Since you seem to think you know history so well our forefathers also fought a very violent revolution for us 300 years ago. They had no one to turn to.

Are you enjoying what's happening to your party? What's up with Sarah?

Like he cares about the Iranians. He wanted to Bomb Bomb Bomb them. Two-faced liar.

The Declaration of Independence pertains to this country...not Iran!

nice sentiments. for our President to share them would require a little back bone. well have to wait 3 and a half more years before we get a leader to stand up for the ideals of freedom and liberty FOR ALL!!!!

On this day...thank you, thank you, thank you Senator McCain for your service and dedicaton to the greatest country on earth. UNDER GOD!

Yes, John, the Iranians know the truth and that Is Pres. Barack Obama is on their side. They also are not fools and know that some people are trying to using their tragedy for political gain and to try to remain relevant.

What a load of crap. History is written by the victor's McCain, you twit. Right and wrong depend greatly on your point of view.

And we are always on the right side, huh?
The citizens of the wrong side think theirs is the right side.

I thank McCain stepping up to the plate and speaking with passion and clarity on our beliefs which are our core and our hearts. His speech appeals to the heart, rather than Obama speeches to the head. Just last year Michelle Obama openly called – America a downright mean country -. This represents the vision of our First Lady who has taken America for granted. Had it not been for the early successes that followed her husbands presidental campaign, it is doubtful she would have found much to like about America: For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. This is the same America that opened the doors most of us can only dream of. We have a president that embarked on the We Suck 2009 Tour, kicked off in Europe, where he felt the need to apologize and blame America for ills of the world. The Obamas find little that is praiseworthy about America. God Bless America and God Bless the Irianians struggle for life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

When they write about this period of history it will be a laughing joke. America wake up can't you smell the smoke we're burning in fire already.

McCain is a fool if he thinks Iranians forgot about his "bomb, bomb, Iran" song. And Americans won't forget about the emotional trainwreck of a sidekick that he wanted as his partner in the White House. McCain is a coward, a liar, and a disgrace. He has zero credbility with America, only his right-wing deep south base.

McCain has been wrong so many times and who cares what this old war mongler says, he's never done a darn thing for American veterans.

Nice thoughts, but why is he commenting on the Iranian situation? It's just like last summer's , "today we are all Georgians" nonsense.

The ship has sailed, Senator. You missed an enormous opportunity to be the guy to really help build bipartisanship, but you sold out. Too bad for all of us.

Seems to me their is not too much of a difference between a baton and an ACORN thug coming to your home or hanging around a voting station as an intimidation tactic. How much difference is there between destroying someone physically or destroying them and their family with a biased media and barrage of baseless legal attacks? Not too surprising we get the slow response from this Administration on Iran but an immediate response on Honduras.

Remember how concerned this guy was when Russia invaded Georgia. Once it was not political advantage to him he lost interest. He has always been out front complaining about anyone who did not support the President during the run up to the war in Iraq. If I remember right he said it puts our troops in danger if we are not together and supportive of the President. What is different now, he lost the election. This guy is always ready to attack anyone who does not think exactly like he does. The leader in Iran and Korea are sitting back waiting for an excuse to blame us for their problems. One thing that is clear all the tough talk does not work. The people of the country involved are the only ones who can make a change.

BREAKING NEWS:

Obama, to place Palin, in cabinet. Said he needs a Secretary of HiIlBilIies.

Everything for this man is a zero sum game. Win, lose. Right, wrong. Are there no grey areas in this man's life? Is life so uncomplicated as that for this man? I find it fascinating that his perception of reality is so two-dimensional.

John, you stand for ideas and not ideals. I see this sympathy orgy for not long ago you dvocated bomb bomb Iran. Are not those the same Iranians that have called for Death to America?
John mind your biz and let's solve our own problems for now.

And once again, while all those who have dealt with Iran and say the President is doing the correct thing, John McCain thinks he knows better!

President Obama has made a strong statement. What the republicans want him to do is go to war with Iran. They are not threatening our freedom so we need to leave them to their own destination. The Iranian people will at some time get tired of being silenced and make the bid for their own freedom. While I sympathize with them, I do not feel it is America's place to free them from the tyranny that has become their "Government".

"We share a kinship of ideals with every man and woman on earth who struggles for their God-given rights."

McCain and other Republicans have previously called on President Obama to make a stronger public statement in support of Iranians protesting the circumstances surrounding the country's controversial election last month.

----------------------------

Nice...just don't be gay in American and expect McCain and these other Rebuplicans to stand up and help you achieve these same rights they want for Iranians

RE: The world must never doubt where we stand in the liberation struggles of our time…

So McCain has joined the National Liberation Front ???

He's absolutely right. But I can't help but be struck by his "right and wrong side of history" spiel. He should talk to his daughter about coming over to the right side on a few other issues as well.

That said, God Bless Senator McCain.

Well, Republicans thought Obama was so stupid that he was going to fall in the trap they laid for him in Iran. President Obama was right by chosing not to medling into Iranian's affairs. Their election is their business. They got to deal with it. We can only support them. If we keep interfering into other countries' business, they will also have the same right to interfere into our business (when we have a flawed election e.g. the 2000 election).

Keep up the good work, Obama.

Have a happy Fourth of July Everybody.

Yes, there is a right side and wrong side of history, McCain. And there is an intelligent and a dumb way of going about one's business. Unfortunately you and your fellow neo-cons have chosen the dumb way of doing business.

We'll never forget you, songbird. Nor will we forget your running mate. And those are NOT positive statements. Go away.

Its so sad,the look on Johns face says it all,hes a loser and since the year 2000 hes been a coward,afraid of his own shadow and carrying the water for a corrupt party of extremists.Wake up John,it may not be to late to save some face or at least get some honor like the leaders in Japan do.

Like they say senetor, you cannot eat your cake and have it. You cannot at one stage chastize Oba for 'wanting to be President of the World' and again for not 'being the president of the world.

Yes, history does have side, we must be consistent in our choice of sides.

In the case of Iran, as in the case of Honduras, President Obama is proving himself to be the true statesman of courage and integrity that we expected him to be. In this he is the exact opposite of the Bushes and Cheneys of the past US who, more often than not ensured that the USA was DEAD WRONG, EVEN EVIL in its machinations and definitely ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY. Enough of the revisionist crap, Mr. McCain.

I can remember the civil rights marches in the sixties and the protests against the Vietnam war, the police dogs, water cannons, batons, and oh yea Kent State. Let the Iranians work out their own social and political problems. We only need to be concerned with any security threat that they pose to us i.e. weapons of mass destruction.

IS this guy still running for President? He seems to take a swipe at Obama every chance he gets. Who called the Iranian people fools? They know that America supports them....if it were up to McCain, we'd probably have troops in there and a lot of them would be dead, just like in Iraq. We have to let the Iranian people work this out...of course we are praying for their success. I also wonder how he can make these declarations about a government that imprisons improperly when we are trying to deal with the Gitmo prisoners who were collected and imprisoned under Republican watch.

I agree with John McCain. Of course the liberals will be out in droves insulting his service to his country.

all i can say, is the McCain and his GOP buddies must not have read much history.

McCain the bad loser needs to go away with nhis VP Pick. Ugh to them both....
