Obama-come-lately on Iran; O’s obligatory press conference

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 23, 2009 11:43 AM

At around 12:30pm Eastern, Barack Obama will put down his ice cream cone and boldly condemn repression in Iran.

Why now?

Andrew Malcolm explains the timing:

You don’t need to be a basketball-loving president of the United States to know that if you’re trying to block opponents’ shots in your end, you sure aren’t increasing your own totals. You can’t score points on D.

So Obama’s news conference this morning Pacific time is his bid to steal the ball from his opponents and scoot down the court for his own layup. It’s a classic political reset of the play clock. At 9:30 a.m. Pacific (12:30 p.m. Eastern, 4:30 p.m. GMT), Obama will make a statement in the White House Rose Garden and then take questions.

Obama has lost some mojo in recent days on this month’s pressing issues, especially Iran’s ongoing protests and healthcare reform. Obama’s printed Saturday statement about Iran on his way out the White House door for ice cream with his daughters was insufficient media competition for the appallingly graphic video of the young woman Neda dying on a Tehran street. Some called the presidential statement ineffective and “mealy-mouthed.”

On Father’s Day, while the president played golf out of camera-sight, others were on TV declaring the U.S. must say more to support the unarmed protesters in Iran.

…Sen. John McCain’s angry Senate Neda speech Monday, also reported and analyzed here with a video, dramatically changed that equation, forcing Obama to talk today more powerfully about the power of talk.

It was just last month that Obama was forced to scramble in response to another Republican, Dick Cheney, to organize dueling speeches on homeland security.

Obama-come-lately strikes again.

“Leadership.”

***

But, of course, Obama’s Cairo speech inspired the freedom activists in Iran that he is only now speaking out for, you know.

***

Update: Obama’s press statement this afternoon was rather unemotional and obligatory-sounding. Included an odd set-up question with Huffington Post writer Nico Pitney, who has covered Iranian election extensively. Obama anticipated his question and basically telegraphed what Pitney would ask — a question solicited from Iranians communicating across the Internet.

Major Garrett at Fox News asks the obvious question: “What took you so long?”

Obama blathers.

Garrett asks if invitation to Iran to meet on July 4 is still on.

“That’s up to Iran.”

Translation: Invitation — and “path” to engagement — still open.

***

Question: Were you influenced by McCain/Graham speaking strongly on Iran?

Obama snarks: What do you think?

Reporters laugh.

Are you laughing?

***

Chuck Todd: What about consequences for Iranian repression?

O refers to Neda again: A young woman getting shot on the street as she’s getting out of her car is a “problem.”

    I think we should consider how politcally savvy Obama is. While we who would never vote for him anyway are hammering him, he has used this last week to bring into his fold yet another constiuency group; The Procrastinator’s Club.

    Precisely my point last Saturday.

    A crass politico like Bill Clinton would have seen the certainty of a jump in his approval numbers that a strong statement of support for the Iranian people would bring. He would have gotten out in front of this.

    THE ONE has a set of priorities that are even outside of crass politics…and they sure aren’t those of a leader with moral character.

    Hmmm… I wonder what his priorities could be….?

    The move by some to credit Obama with the democratic uprising in Iran is simply pathetic. Like I said yesterday, the Iranian students and youth owe nothing to Obama, so, sorry, Mr. President, you don’t get to have any credit for this one. Especially after all the pains you took to stay neutral.

    Yep, I remember it well. Let me frame the context for you, since you are clearly clueless.

    1968 was a year of great turbulence in the US. It was a period of outlawry (I was one of the outlaws) in the guise of rebellion.

    Black Power was associated with Black Nationalism…a distinctly racist notion that taught that the races in the US could not live together. Several were Black Supremacists.

    I rejected that notion at the time, and I do now.

    You seem to love to use the “you people” generality to rail against. You’re tilting at windmills, Quixote.

    It must be fun to have such a limited view that anyone that disagrees with you becomes the bogeyman “you people”.

    You know nothing about me or my views on civil rights. Why not stay on topic (if you can)?

    and now you fight against the first biracial President

    How do you figure? I recognize him as the President. Does that mean I must always agree with him?

    The difference between you and me is that you feel the need to continuously underscore the color of his skin while claiming that everyone else is racially motivated.

    Your whole argument is about race. It has nothing to do with the Iranian protests or President Obama’s comments today. It is a strawman and a poorly constructed one at that.

    - but you claim to support Iranian civil rights.

    How funny is that?

    About as funny as a President that offers no real support to those same Iranian protesters for fear of what Ahmadinejad might do or appearing to support the opposition party.

    Certainly more credibility than someone that believes that setting up an example which has absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand makes him more credible.

    You guys need to get the word out on this strange misconception. That will be a bit difficult when your members are busy sending out “black people” joke emails though.

    A young woman dies in Iran as the government seeks to disrupt protests of a corrupt election through force.

    Obama offers no real support to the protesters in order to stay politically neutral but offers some vague non-answer about the legitimacy of the government being up to the people of Iran. The irony that this is precisely why large masses of people had the courage to protest in a country in which they knew their lives would be threatened for doing so is lost.

    …yet radicals still show up here to remind us all that President Obama is (gasp) biracial.

    They make a parody of themselves.

    hotshot: I guess you can see each of us sitting at our keyboards and know beyond a shadow of a doubt we are mostly one color and mostly one gender.

    I will be the first to admit we ARE mostly one color, and that would be color-blind.

    Further, we are mostly one gender, and that would be heterosexual.

    I’m thinking you are correct. I think some black people seem to feel they now have liscense to be racist. Pre-Obama, the same would have been passive agressive, now many are openly racists. 90% of blacks voted for Obama and that is racist any way you slice it.

    one more note..when Obama fails, and fails miserably he will go down as the first black president and typically couldn’t do anything right and he will take those who supported him with him. It will be a very long time before another black person is elected president. Too bad because there are many worthy of the office, just not this putz.

    Senator Kerry’s share of the black vote was 88 percent in 2004, down from Vice-President Gore’s 90 percent four years earlier.

    African-Americans are one of the most loyal voting constituencies for Democrats.

    huggybear – I’m not about to argue percentages with you and the fact that racisim among blacks in this country is on the rise isn’t up for discussion. It is what it is. It is also unfortunate that the black community doesn’t quite “get it” that the dems aren’t helping them. Another point, Obama is using his own people for his own gain – I despise this man. He is creating a huge division in this country and it simmers just below the surface.

    Indeed. I have visions that my children and grandchildren and their peers will be going on another apology tour, this time in the free Republic of Iran. They’ll be apologising for the lack of support that Obama gave them in the fight for freedom. I hope I’m alive to see this, and more important that Obama can see what he has wrought.

    This is a test for liberty and freedom. Did you think that Americans, all Americans, were civil enough to let this country grow on its own. I believe the races were actually coming together before Obama’s election. I now fear a larger racial component even though we say and wish not. We the people are kinda at fault for all of this for being fat, dumb and happy. To complacent to observe things going on right in our backyards. A movement, large enough to spawn the likes of Americorps and ACORN, to name a few. What movement did the conservatives do to change the politcal sphere during this time?. Nothing. Lawn chair patriotism seems was not enough. I for one am tired of both parties, and want to see a third or fourth. The laws in this country are crumbling, especially voting and election laws and they are the real core of what we are. I do believe we need a watchdog on these so contact your senators and reps. I also believe anchary is ripe. Police aren’t doing their jobs( i know one) or overdoing their jobs. When did you last see someone driving the speedlimit? Its already turning into a survialist mode. We need to get a grasp and get organized into community groups or something like it, to connect with the people. We need to start calling a spade a spade when the shoe fits without saying I am sorry or backing down. This PC crap is destroying the country. If your skin is that thin you need to see a psychiatrist. We need to get involved with our future.
